On Saturday’s I don’t  do my 3mins of exercise vaguely related to yoga. ( but as I missed one day this week due to dyeing my hair , maybe I  should have…..)

I decided that I’d better go and get varnish, paintbrushes,  eggs and carrots. That was nice. I keep forgetting how it’s  good to be out. I passed on the Saturday  coffee as I wasn’t really in town. 

I might have painted the top of my house today, but it was very windy so I didn’t  do that.

I could have done some washing , but with renovations going on up the street there might have been dust. (That was a really pathetic excuse.)

So I went off to see what was happening with Commissario Brunetti  in Venice  instead.

After a while I thought it was time that had something to show for my day and so I drew 2 copies of paintings I did of Pisticci, on watercolour paper.

So far I’ve taped one to a board. There is no point in beginning when I am tired and can’t be bothered.

I’m not sure that my plan to make a copy  of an acrylic painting in watercolour will work.

Oh dear,  Ive just seen the yellow helicopter. Somebody must be getting airlifted to hospital. 

In the last hour I’ve  been outside sorting out my plants , which involved emptying a big pot full of water which smelled horrible.  As the street slopes, then the water runs away. One of my plants which came from the country house was rotten and is now in a bin bag disguised as ” indifference ” . I can’t  remember the proper name for the ” anything that doesn’t  fit in the other bins. “

I’ve had to do some flower pot rearranging. 

After going outside to take a photo of my new flower pot arrangement, the lock on my door fell off again. I’m not quite sure how to fix it. All the screws fall out. I thought maybe getting slightly bigger ones might help. I’ve stuck it back on for the time being.

I’ve to go out and deliver a painting soon.

It’s a beautiful evening to go for a walk up town.

I’d better go and find something to wrap the painting in.

But first I’ll just finish a glass of wine .. …

Cheers🍷
