2024 in Pisticci….unsettled

I think I remember reading some years ago that a big change, even for the better ,is still a loss and can feel very unsettling.

I feel quite unsettled. It could be the heat. Or it could be that I haven’t quite fitted into my new life as a  pensioner.

I was thinking about having aircon in the hot part of my house. Last year I would just have moved into the other side where it’s cooler. There would have been no choice. And I would have been happy that I could deal with it . I used to feel good about myself because I could manage despite not having much of an income. I liked how I could make things out of virtually nothing. I appreciated  all the little things as gifts. And felt very fortunate.

It maybe sounds a bit silly , but having enough money to live on is taking a bit of getting used to.

Anyways , enough introspection. 

Today I’ve fixed a couple of things and watched several art videos which have been quite confusing.

Trying make the mountains look like they were in the distance….
It’s as good as I can manage.

Then I went out for a cocktail.

Not alcoholic.

And enjoyed the business in town.

Looks pretty amazing.

And tonight…in less than an hour I’m going to a concert in the piazza nearby.

They were getting set up earlier

Wine time now. Aircon on.

Cheers🍷🍷
