It was good to hear  scratching at the door and see the little white face peering in the window.

After two days without a visit from her I was getting a little concerned.

It happens here, to street cats…..one day they are sitting outside your house and the next day they’re  gone. 

I still remember Brutto the ugly  black cat who discovered that being stroked was a good feeling. Then there was little covid, named because however  hard I tried she kept her distance. Both of them just stopped turning up.

Fluffy was very cuddly today and slept on my knee for about an hour. She has 2 scrapes on her face and it looks like her ear has been bleeding.

This morning I managed to find 2 more charcoal  pencils in the Meetmarket. That shop has everything!!

I didn’t get started on my second  self portrait of the weekend until Fluffy got fed up and left.

I even had some flashes of confidence today. That was a nice feeling.

It’s been windy and grey outside all day.

Tomorrow I’m planning to finish the last commissioned portrait and then this week I’d like to paint the new self portrait before going to Scotland.

I bought an avocado  today. Just to see what it was like.

Now it’s time for a glass of wine and some olives 

Cheers🍷🍷
