Durant les dernières intempéries neigeuses et en l'absence d'électricité, nous avons décidé d'occuper une partie de la soirée à dessiner rapidement chacun des membres de la famille, sympathiques moments (à la bougie) ! Voici le portrait que j'ai réalisé de mon fils.
During our recent snowy weather, electricity went out for many hours, so we decided to occupy part of the evening sketching quickly each member of the family, it was fun ! Here is the portrait I made of my son.

Captured on Sunday afternoon outside the stage door of the famous London Palladium Theatre, Great Marlborough Street, London. Simon Cowell arrived in his chauffeur driven Rolls Royce. It was the first day of filming the auditions for the new ITV series of Britain's Got Talent. I was stood about 10 feet away from him.
Compared to digging, cutting the weeds on an overgrown plot with my scythe is a rewarding pleasure. As a quid pro quo for the specialist advice she gave Lin and I about turning the Central Handsworth Practical Care Project into a company limited by guarantee I scythed her plot, next to ours, this morning - hearing the noise of a chain saw on the railway embankment running beside the Victoria Jubilee Allotments. I'm was using my shortest blade and not using graceful long strokes swinging close to the earth because there was a good deal of debris (bricks, stones, old wood and plastic and metal pieces) hidden in the grass and weeds, plus I promised myself to leave Rachel some flowers standing after I'd finished.
Vanley came by as I worked
"Can you teach me how to use that?"
"Of course"
I attended a workshop on using a scythe 5 years ago - a day in April I took a train to Yeovil on Friday and cycled seven miles through Somerset countryside to the Fleur de Lis Pub in Stoke-sub-Hamdon, close to Tinker’s Bubble where, the next day, Simon Fairlie led a workshop, for six of us, on how to use a scythe (see scythe revival). I'd wanted to use it in the churchyard of St.Mary's, Handsworth, with an uneducated notion that we might circumvent the council's ground maintenance routines and turn the place into a meadow, by scything - instead of strimming - at times of our choice, clearing cuttings to avoid their over enrichment, nurturing a richer diversity of flowers. But I'd bitten off more than I could chew - the scale of the churchyard and the momentum of the city's grounds maintenance bureaucracy. Had I persisted I'm sure we'd have prevailed. I didn't. The next time I used the scythe was to help my daughter, Amy, and son-in-law, Guy, to recover the lawn of their new home on the east of the city. So I haven't been using it much. I had to fiddle with assembly; reminding myself of the proper way to sharpen the blade - something to be done nearly every five minutes when scything - let alone observe the method of thinning the soft iron cutting edge of the blade with a hammer so that its vital sharpness can be maintained - peening it with the jig I bought at the same time as I bought the scythe and two blades - Luxor for lawns, Rasierschnitt for rougher work with a protective tine at the tip. Bringing that kit back on the train Sunday evening, the blade well wrapped, I was joshed about being the grim reaper. I can't quite recall how I carried it back from New Street on my bicycle, but I suspect Terry Pratchett would have approved the image of a scyther on a Brompton folding bicycle. Now I carry just the handle across my handlebars, leaving the blade in my basket - well-wrapped.

Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios Ponte y Blanco or Simón Bolívar was one of the leaders of the South American Wars of Independence and immensely influential in Latin American history, among them the idea of democracy and rule by republic. Coming from a wealthy and influential cruillos family of Caracas, Venezuela, Bolívar was heavily influenced by his teacher Simón Rodríguez on enlightenment reforms. Bolívar was caught up in the 1810 coup in Venezuela. The First Revolution was quickly crushed, and Bolívar managed to ingratiate himself to the resurgent royalists by arresting and handing over the revolutionary leader, Francisco de Miranda, in perhaps the most morally dubious act of his career.
Escaping Venezuela in 1813, Bolívar joined up with rebels fighting in New Granada (Columbia), and commanding the army, led what was known as the Admirable Campaign, retook most of Venezuela in a month. Retaking Caracas, he was granted the title El Libertador. During this time, he also proclaimed the infamous Decree of War to the Death, instituting a policy of no quarter to the peninsulares remaining in South American, and ensuring a direct confrontation between the elites and the lower classes.
The Second Venezuelan Republic lasted about a year before it was largely overrun by the nominally royalist mestizo force of José Tomás Boves, who distrusted the cruillos leading the republican forces. After returning to New Granada and defeating rival rebel groups, Bolívar was exiled to the newly independent Haiti, where he managed to recruit weapons and volunteers, in exchange for freeing the slaves of South America.
After a disastrous start, the republican forces took the coastline in 1817, and with the earlier battlefield death of Boves, managed to recruit his hard-fighting llaneros grudgingly into the republican cause. His loyal lieutenant Antonio José de Sucre, also came under his command. With New Granada retaken by Spanish reinforcements, Bolívar in 1819 led a surprise rainy season march through the Andes, soundly defeating the royalists at the decisive Battle of Boyacá. By the end of that year, New Granada was newly independent, and the Republic of Gran Columbia (consisting of Columbia and Venezuela) with Bolívar as its first president. In 1820, with Spain in the midst of the Riego Revolt, Bolívar's forces under Sucre defeated the last Spanish threat to Venezuela, then saw the conquest of Ecuador.
As Sucre's Gran Columbian forces moved into Peru, they ran into the rival republican forces of José de San Martín of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (Argentina), who had overthrown the royalists and had taken Chile. In the somewhat mysterious Guayaquil Conference, Bolívar and San Martín met over two days, before San Martín left, leaving the liberation of Peru to Bolívar's forces. Peru was finally secured in 1825 following the Battle of Ayacucho. Later campaigns saw Upper Peru taken and renamed in his honor (Bolivia).
With all of Spanish America now independent, Bolívar began ruling Gran Columbia, which turned out to be difficult. With internal divisions and periodic revolts, Bolívar desired a strong centralized government ruled by a president-for-life, but the Constitutional Convention of 1828 proved disappointing, with a largely federal government formed instead. Instead Bolívar simply proclaimed himself temporary dictator. After the assassination of Sucre, and a assassination attempt on his life, Bolívar gave up, finally recommending the division of Gran Columbia into the States of Columbia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Resigning, he planned to leave for Europe, but was struck down by tuberculosis in 1830 at the age of 47.
Simón Bolívar never saw his dream of a united South America, but his legacy remains. He is seen as a father figure and a symbol of nationalism and patriotism through most of South America, as seen in the recent "Bolivarian Revolution" promoted by former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. This statue, a copy of one by Adamo Tadolina, is located in the UN Plaza of San Francisco, a gift to the city by Venezuela in 1984. Hobos congregate around it.
