  • Do you have plans this long weekend?

    Posted by ally on April 19, 2019 at 4:33 pm

    In Canada and many other countries, Easter weekend is usually a long weekend. I’m fortunate to have today (Good Friday) AND Easter Monday off from work. I’m planning to spend most of my free time with my immediate family and I won’t have to travel far.

    What about you? What are you up to this weekend? Do you celebrate Easter or Passover or anything else?

    As an English teacher, I take the whole week off! My wife is off to Tibet, but I’m staying home to relax and work on my next book, which is <b>La vida amb la malaltia de Parkinson</b> (Life With Parkinson’s).

      Lou, Will your book be published in English?  When do you think you will finish it?

        First I’d have to get it published here; then it would have to sell really well before anyone would risk publishing an English version. As far as finishing it goes, I hope by the beginning of next year to be in time for Saint George’s Day, April 23, a day in which all the Catalan women buy books for their men and all the men buy roses for their women. Hey! That’s tomorrow! Too bad my wife’s in Tibet!

        Lou, that’s so cool that you’re writing a book about PD! Have you always been a writer? Do you have any other writing you could share with us?

        What is your wife doing in Tibet? That destination is on my bucket list too… 🙂

        Happy writing!

        I’ve always tried to be a writer. I have some books in Catalan on English grammar published. You could google Anglès fàcil.

        I used to be a musician; google Robert the Robot and Lou the Human
        > What is your wife doing in Tibet?
        Seeing the country. This morning she’s at the Everest base camp. She’s enchanted.

        Clarinet! My favourite instrument! I played in high school but not nearly as well as this, lol. Thanks for sharing, Lou.
