Walking up town this morning was so pretty with all the ” lumiere”( I think that’s the right word for the gorgeous light display. ) when not lit up they look like giant doilies and cast beautiful shadows.

It was sunny, but cool, and then a brass band started playing.

All 5 musicians.

They marched cheerfully around all of Pisticci today .

The corso looks great.

After buying wine and finding that the farmacia was shut. Oops! Should have gone yesterday.

I headed home and on the way I bumped into a man with a duckling. I had seen him on the way up ,but not realised that his duckling had fallen into a drain and he was trying to get it out. But here was the little duckling cheerfully following him along the street. ( he picked it up after I took this photo.)

A few years ago this same man had another duckling which was much bigger and I used to see him in the corso with the little duck following along.

A tourist interviewed him and more or less inferred that Pisticci was the town where the residents took their little ducks out for walks.

It was a lovely happy walk home.

Most of the rest of today I’ve spent working on the latest local scene. So much for quality over quantity….I’m pleased that I’ve managed 5 this week. Hopefully the quality is okay.

And now after a brief thunderstorm the sun has come out. I might go and see if the farmacia is open later tonight.

But for now I think I’ll have a glass of wine.

Cheers🍷🍷
