Just had a message and photo from two of my sisters who are also at their home having a glass of wine. Feels very sociable and on a cold rainy evening here I feel warmer.

I wondered why I felt so sad early this morning and think maybe it’s because I am seeing real heroes willing to die for something they believe in. There have no doubt been lots of others where I didn’t pay any attention. But this has gripped me .

I’ve no idea what I would do in the same situation.

So today I started by painting to take my mind of the rest of the world.

I still haven’t bought pansies so I thought I’d go out while the sun was shining and look for some.

There were none . I bought wine instead. ( It feels like I have a large amount of “happiness” now stored in my bar….am not sure if that is a good thing.)

On the way home I took more photos. I’ve got loads to paint from.

The guy in the shop where I buy wine says that snow is forecast!

I won’t be rushing outside to look at the sunset.

Wine , olives and Miss Marple are in the plans for tonight.

Cheers 🍷🍷
