A little bit more cheerfully than yesterday.

I went out last night to the Living Nativity.  It was friendly and fun.

I’m glad I went.

Today has been another sunny day where it’s much warmer outside than inside. 

I took my new diary outside , sat at the table and wrote a list of things I might like to do next year.

It started with ” make at least one picture book” and finished with “live a nice quiet life appreciating not being bombed.”.

I was just sitting there when someone came down my street and handed me a bag of food and said Happy New Year.

One of the things on my list was ” make up a project where I learn something new”. It could just be practising drawing portraits or something like that , but it would have a structure and finish date. I like projects.

I went out for a walk to the supermarket. It’s always a nice social occasion.

I worked on my latest painting for a while, but mostly I found reasons to do something else as it’s cold sitting inside.

Next week I plan to make some efforts to get my pellet stove fixed .

Now it’s candles and wine time.

Cheers and Happy New Year. 🍷🍷
