It’s  been a strange day.

I’ve read a lot. Slept a bit. Watched some arty videos on YouTube  and felt as if this might be the last day of summer.

Outside the hot wind has been blowing all day. There’s been a fire at the other side of Pisticci.

The water is being turned off at 6pm.( I’ve got lots in bottles in the fridge and I’ve watered the flowers)

I’ve got a slight sore head. Sitting too close to the fan , I think, but any further away and I’m too hot.

It’s  not really the end of summer. Just ( hopefully) the end of the heatwave. 32C is a normal summer temperature.  It should be cool in the evenings again.

I was up in time to see the sun rise over Pisticci  this morning.

I’m going out in half an hour to meet someone.  I hope the wind has dropped by then.

Fluffy has been in and posed nicely on my blue chair.

And I painted some more clouds on my seascape.  Maybe I will treat it to a spell in a nice frame later.

I’m enjoying Lilyhammer on Netflix in the evenings. Having Norwegian friends makes it more interesting.

But now I’d better get ready to go out. I think I’ll wear my sunglasses to keep sand out of my eyes.

Wine later…..cheers🍷🍷
