Not a good idea. Was awake at 4.30am again . Still waking up worried about the ” darn document” and various other things.

My email to the comune didn’t go. And won’t go. I could phone a friend and ask for help. But this morning I was muddled and really upset at my inability to do anything ever in the whole world and that I would probably be thrown out of Italy and end up homeless in Scotland with cold sores. I was obviously very very tired. Luckily I had enough sense left to phone my sister .

I did try to stop myself getting upset in the past by reminding myself that I would get a cold sore.. It worked so and so….

The morning passed and by lunch time I was more or less normal.again.

This afternoon I painted my chair on my tablet. I love the colours and the shapes. It’s a little bit wonderful how this new skill has made me feel so much more free and confident.

A little town nearby has another 22 cases of the virus and 2 people have died. I think there may be close to 200 people infected now there.

There are only about 25 in pisticci/ marconia. But over 200 new cases today in this region.

Mostly staying home seems like a good idea.

It looks like the weather is turning colder, but it was still possible to leave the door open most of the day. I haven’t lit the stove yet. An extra jumper seems to be all I need for now.

Have postponed dealing with the ” darn document” till next week.

Now it’s wine and crime time . 🍷🍷
