Right this moment I’m in a hotel courtyard with beautiful flowers around me. I’m waiting for a friend who is doing some business transactions with a client. It’s taking a bit longer than I expected so I might as well do something before I fall asleep in this relaxing outdoor couch.

Well actually, this friend of mine is an architect. He’s working with an interior designer to convert some of the old wood flooring into a great piece of modern art. The owner of the hotel values the sentimentality of its structure so he doesn’t want anything thrown away during the renovation. How I wish I could have a garden like this at home.
