2024 in Pisticci…..end of the year……

It’s been a very pleasant day.

I tidied up the dresser.

I’m not really a hypochondriac….I just didn’t like to throw anything out…….
I was ruthless!! All organised and tidy. If I didn’t know what it was I threw it out….there were several things in that category. 

Then I had a lovely stroll around the market with a friend. Which was a nice surprise as I thought we were meeting on Thursday.

View on way home from market.
The faded remains of my first very big mural of a street.
There is more of it left than I thought. It was painted 10 years ago.

Last night I undercoated my next big canvas with leftover paint.

Have decided that I must do a splendiferous  painting tomorrow to celebrate the new year. ( no pressure!!)

This afternoon  I worked on the 2 little dog paintings. They are never quite as good as I hope, but they are doglike.

Doug and Tina playing with a rubber chicken.
Bea looking hopeful…..

Tonight I have a plan which involves spending the evening by myself. I feel like I’ve organised a solo party and am anxious that it will go well. It feels strange to actually want to be on my own…..but I had such a good time last year that I was hoping to repeat it. I guess I really am an introvert.

There is a lot more to it than I can put into words. It will be the start of my 20th year in Italy and also my 70th year. I want to feel it.

Now it’s wine time. Think I’ve found something to watch on Netflix and an episode of ” Have I got news for you.”.

Cheers🍷🍷

I can hear intermittent fireworks already…..
