2023 in Pisticci…..normal life resuming……

I came back from the pizzeria last night with half a pizza in a box. It’s now in the freezer and I’m looking forward to a slice of pizza when I feel like it. Usually it ends up as a midnight snack or breakfast the next morning. I can’t eat a whole pizza all at once. No matter how delicious it is.

Today I decided that I’d get the shopping out of the way so that I could get on with portrait painting tomorrow. It was the usual nice social event.

Round the corner from my house. After all the support work it looks like we are getting a nice new road surface.

Now I’m organised for a fourth portrait. All measured and pose chosen.

I also worked on a project to further upgrade my attic bedroom.

Painting boxes white.

This afternoon I drew 2 of the portraits so that they are almost ready to paint.

I’m waiting for new canvases to arrive on Friday so that I can start the third one.

However my new pencil sharpener arrived.

Nice pointy pencils

It’s been a nice day. May have been 16C. I haven’t had any heating on all day.

Looking pretty. ( about 4pm)

Candles are lit now. ( I must remember to get a lighter thingy…..paper tapers are not a good idea)

My double glazing is still in place. 😀

Wine time. Cheers 🍷🍷
