It all started when I went out to photograph a little house which I had forgotten I was supposed to paint.

I met the cheerful postman who stopped me to tell me he had a package for me. I thought that I might as well take it then and not wait till later. (First delivery.)

Two minutes later I had a phone call from a courier which somehow I couldn’t answer. Then a message saying he’d left a parcel for me in the furthest away bar. I’d been all psyched up to tell him that was not good enough. ( at least I’ll get some exercise)

Finally after lunch there was a message from another courier to say that I could collect my order of 4 canvases in a shop in the corso. ( the shop was closed until tomorrow. )

In the meantime I phoned the portrait client and they should be coming to pick it up tonight.

It looks like I’ll be taking part in a group exhibition  in July. Am looking forward to the social part of that. I spent quite a lot of time thinking about which paintings I should exhibit.  I’d quite like to have them framed.

I have some nice old frames , but they don’t fit the paintings I like best.

I had time to draw the little house this afternoon.  It will look much better when I add the flowers, but I think everything is in place.

Now it’s wine and watering time. I’m trying not to water the flowers too early in the evening.
