I was just thinking how nice it is for me to sit down at the end of a day and just chat/write to invisible people about how the day has gone , or what I’ve been thinking about and more or less sum up parts of the day. There is always more, but I write what seems important to me at the time.

I should in that case mention that I have been jumping up and running to the door repeatedly every time I heard something that sounded like the bin men.

Just been again.

This is my 3d week now my indifferenziata bin has been left unemptied.

My neighbour’s , only 10metres away  has been taken.( not today so far though). My bin  has been sitting in the middle of the street all day so that it’s  impossible to miss.

There was a time years ago when I thought that having enough money would solve all my problems.

But,  I know better now. It won’t make the bin men take my rubbish, there are still no sweet potatoes  for sale in Pisticci , my new electric bill and some other bills are difficult to pay even though I have enough money, there is still no easy way to get from Pisticci to the railway station and lots more.

However I painted a terracotta  pot in the style of the painter of Pisticci  today.

I think I might varnish it.

I’m very happy to say that my AIRBNB host is going to pick me up and drop me off in Grassano next week. So I don’t need to find the little house. Hurray!

Now I just need to get to the railway station.

Am glad it’s  wine time now. It is still very hot.

Oh, I forgot. I upgraded the cooker last night. Now I like it much more.

Cheers🍷🍷
