For the first few hours of the day it’s good to be outside , or inside with the door open and I’m glad that the supermarket opens at 8.30am.

My new plan whereby I go shopping almost every day has worked for a week. I’m not going to get too excited about actually walking somewhere every day, but that’s a week done.

Tomorrow I must buy more wood for stretchers so that’s another day’s exercise.

I wonder if I can keep this going.

A small vanity( and incentive)is that I am not seen out with the granny trolley.

Tonight I’m sitting on the doorstep noticing that the black leggings I pulled on after I saw the state of my legs, are spattered with terracotta floor paint.

If I continue to be vain/care about my appearance I must get better lighting.

Quite a lot of today was spent lounging on my sun lounger reading. There is a difference between lying reading on my bed and on the lounger. At least there is in my head.

But after spending the morning reading, cooking chickpeas and making lunch for 4 days it was time to finally finish the latest painting.

This week I have alot of work planned so it’s good to be finished.

There is an almost cool wind out here, unlike yesterday.

These red flowers are looking good.

I bought an Agatha Raisin series on Google last night. It is nothing like the book. Which is good as I was worried that I would be bored. And not good as I liked the characters in the books and these are not much like any of them.

Now it’s nice to have a glass of wine and be cool.

Cheers 🍷🍷
