I’m not long back from a lovely lunch.

It’s a rare occasion for me.

I can do talking, but I’m just as happy listening and what an interesting group of people it was. 5 nationalities. Luckily everyone spoke some Italian and several also spoke English.

One of the guests brought the ingredients for her contribution,  a spinach risotto, and made it while we waited. I cannot imagine cooking in front of people. I’d be sure to burn something. ( It was delicious) I brought a painting as cooking is way down on my list of skills.

There was lots of food and wine and conversation never lapsed.

I havent had lemon meringue pie in years. In the distant past I used to make it.  I enjoyed it very much.

I came home with some of the guests and now I have some more spaces in the gift painting section in my gallery.  It was good to meet another arty soul.

This morning Fluffy came to visit again.

And I decided to paint one more animal painting from Namibia. 

Now I think I’ll see if I can find anything to watch on Netflix. The last series I gave up on as the female heroine was an idiot. ( I assume you can call a made up character an idiot without being rude……she repeatedly dashed into dangerous situations and then made them worse. )
