2023 in Pisticci….waiting for darkness …….

I bought some more little twinkly lights today.

One set is around my main door.

They are battery powered , so I put the battery part in a plastic bag. ( I saw one of my neighbours doing that.)

And the other set is spread over the oleander by my other door.

Not maybe making a great impact, but better than nothing.

It’s been a strange day.

I haven’t painted at all. I have days like that sometimes when I just can’t make myself do it. ( I have time left to finish.)

So while I waited for Fluffy to finish her nap on my bed……

I thought it would be funny to make it look like tinsel was spread along behind the flowerpots on my fake window ledge.

I put some around the hanging basket too.

Eventually Fluffy woke up.

I went out and met someone who reads my blog on my way to the supermarket. Nice.

Then after buying the lights when I was walking up the street a car stopped and the ” stoveman” asked if I would be in tonight. Maybe I’ll be getting my stove fixed after all…….we’ll see.

So now my Christmas tree thingy has been moved from the top of the pellet stove.

I think I preferred it on the stove.

Because I felt a little guilty about not painting I took a note book and wrote down all the things I need to fix in the portraits. Making a list is quite helpful as it means there is an end in sight.

It was a pretty sunset.

Weird orangey light over the castle.

Now it’s wine time.

(I’d better finish these portraits tomorrow. )

Cheers🍷🍷
