Am just about cross eyed as I have now finished the 4th painting of Pisticci this week. So many little white houses. I didn’t expect to finish today but was getting on so well that I just kept going. Inspector Alleyn certainly helps. It doesn’t matter that I have read the books it’s just very soothing and not too gory. And whoever is reading it has a very nice voice.

So other than doing the shopping this morning as I was awake in the middle of the night wondering if I was allergic to potatoes and I thought I had better buy some lentils . It’s just an experiment as I have been so much more choked up than normal and thought I must have hayfever but I also started eating a lot of potatoes around the same time.

It might not make a difference but I already avoid milk and cheese because they definitely do make a difference and I thought it was worth a try.

I can’t believe I got these paintings all done. As they are all copies or similat to previous paintings I have done I can compare them. I am improving…but I don’t know if I will ever be pleased with anything I do.

Hurray it’s wine time now. I have cooked a big pot of lentils with sage, mint , parsley and pepperoncino which I will likely put in small bags and freeze. The flowers are watered and even mildly weeded…..

So I am free 😀😀😀😀😀😀
