I don’t know what is happening in Pisticci. Today at the supermarket the staff were cleaning the surfaces and trolleys between customers.

Sometimes I worry about how cut off I am( though has its advantages now maybe….) and I imagine that everyone else in Pisticci knows what is happening except me.

I saw the local newsletter where I read about the 18 cases today. Other than that I have no idea where this outbreak has happened, if it is random or confined to a school or maybe even from an Easter barbecue.

It will be another month before I get the vaccine. Plenty of writing and painting to keep me occupied and am not sure that even after that life will be much different.

However it’s good to have work and today I drew four people for my next portrait commission, went shopping and sat on my doorstep enjoying my flowers. I’ve given myself 2 weeks to complete the portraits so I can take my time. (It includes 8 hands 😳😳😳😳)

Have been watching a lot of Tiny House videos and am looking around to see if I can do anything else to my little house. As long as I already have the materials and it doesn’t cost anything extra I am up for it.

Isn’t there a saying that a change is as good as a holiday…..or is that just wishful thinking.

Wine time on a Friday feels like it should be different. I have a tin of black olives…maybe I will stop saving them for emergencies and just eat them…..

Cheers 🍷🍷
