I can’t make up my mind. So I’ve watered the plants and now I’m trying wine and the blues.

It’s pizza night and I could stop on the way and check out how to paint a pot in the style of the ‘ painter of Pisticci ‘.

Then I could deliver the little house painting.

I could go to the bar near the bus station and buy my tickets for the next trip.

Or I could just stroll across  town to the pizzeria and do none of these things.

If I do all of these things, assuming the client is at home, the bar has a bus timetable and the art shop where sample pots are, is open then I could work on my new portrait all day tomorrow.

Or I could work on the portrait all day tomorrow  and do all these other things later on in the week. None of them are urgent …yet!

This morning I read the first chapter of my new ” breakfast book” . It was good. Just what I’m needing.  Something inspiring at breakfast time.

Then it was Scanzano market day. It was fun to go with friends. I didn’t buy any clothes at the secondhand stall.  ( hurray! I mustn’t be a clothesaholic after all.)

But I  have enough sweet potatoes from the Penny Market to last for 3 weeks. ( no sweet potatoes  available in Pisticci…..or on Amazon.  )

After a longish siesta due partly to being woken by church bells ringing at 3am. ( No idea why! Couldn’t get back to sleep for wondering what was going on. Was an earthquake coming? Had somebody important died? Were we at war?) I worked on the portrait. Both people in it are wearing sunglasses and it’s not possible to see their eyes.

I think the wine has helped. I’ll just go past the art shop and take a photo of one of the pots.  ( I’ll be chosing my own design, it’s just the technical bits I want to check. My new black chalk paint should be perfect. )

It’s  hot. 30C inside.

Will be pleasant to walk to the Lanterna.

Cheers 🍷🍷
