Packing, doesn’t really describe what I have to do. I put my tablet, kindle, a sketch pad , chargers and some make up in my rucksack and other than my passport and phone ,that is me all done.

Tomorrow morning about 5am I plan to make some biscuits and cheese to eat on the journey and then stroll to the nearby Piazza where a friend is giving me a lift to Ferrandina railway station where the airport bus stops. (I hope!)

This morning I was looking forward to going to the street market and then meeting some friends in a bar afterwards. I should have paid more attention to my message and then I would have gone to the right bar. However at least I did get another commission in the ” wrong ” bar.

It was lovely to stop and chat to people on the way into town.

I bought 3 polo neck jumpers at the market. Hopefully they’ll last 10 years like my last ones.

Now I’ve cleaned all my paintbrushes and laid away all my new paint. I learned a lot while mural painting. Though there might not be a lot of demand for peacock painting.

Hair is dyed now, and most of my gadgets are charged. Might go to bed early tonight.

I have a little project in mind to keep me occupied while I’m hanging around Bari and Milan Airports.

But for now a glass of wine and some taralli seems like a good idea. And the candles need lighting…..
