I went to bed late last night, partly due to indigestion after eating a whole margherita pizza……I was hungry…..and partly because I wanted to be 67 for a bit longer.

But there’s no holding back time so I woke up 68 this morning.

It does not seem possible as I still feel 19 plus experience in my head.

However I had some nice little plans for today.

I bought 2 books on my kindle featuring a detective in Venice. I’m a bit fed up chosing books from Kindle unlimited and not really liking them 50% of the time. ( I only meant to buy one , but I got muddled…..🙂)

It was wet and foggy outside. Right now there is thunder.

So after fixing the details regarding my next mural I lay about and read until I got bored. I love reading books set in Italy. This one is like a feast compared to some of the rubbish Ive been reading lately.

All this time, and in fact all day my phone has been beeping and chirping and chiming with messages saying Happy Birthday / Auguri/ Buon Compleano and even one in Dutch. Facebook is indeed a wonderful thing when spending a birthday alone. ( By choice.)

After getting suitably bored I got to work on painting 2 children and an angel, but not before I decided to wear my adapted dungarees , just for fun.

( It’s now raining as well as thundering outside.)

I enjoyed painting today and for the first time I used my new acrylic pen brushes for some of the details.

I stopped when my old tablet got tired and needed charging.

After carefully studying my dungarees I decided they needed more patches, so that took another half hour.

Torrential rain outside now…….

I tried to take a photo of the rain charging down my street like a river and pouring off the roof like a waterfall, but it just doesn’t work.

Now it’s wine time and maybe I’ll just sit and drink wine listening to the rain and feeling good about getting to be this old.

Cheers 🍷🍷🎂
