2024 in Pisticci….mostly painted hares…..

But, began the day by opening the door in the living room side of my house. Bad Idea. Since the 4 days of rain it has looked even more swollen and warped than normal. It took a lot of slamming and a hammer to get it shut again. 

It opens in the middle.
There’s  quite a big gap down the side as well. Never need to worry about ventilation.

I suppose I could get a new door, but I’d rather spend money on travelling or paint.

By summer it’ll have shrunk again. ( and it’s fairly secure despite what it might look like.)

Luckily I have another door. Which seems to have something stuck underneath it and makes a hideous screeching noise every time I open it. I’ve tried scraping underneath it ,but it didn’t  help.

However , enough about doors.

After my usual procrastination period during which I cut pockets off jeans..more about that at the weekend I started to paint the first hare. It didn’t quite fit , so its ears and feet are painted on the border. I liked this so much that I did the same for the next two.

Might need to adjust a few things before I varnish them. Then they go on the gift selection. 

After all that work I thought that a walk to the supermarket  would be nice. I took a detour.

Had to have a seat here after all the steps.
Some of the steps
Finally near the top
Downhill again
View out to sea.

I came the direct way home as I bought more than planned . Lemonade is heavy.

The big canvas is still on the easel. I think I’m scared of not painting something good enough…..so I’ll never get started!

Wine time now. Tired again. I think it’s the weather.

Cheers🍷🍷
