It’s my Tuesday routine. ( Except for paying big bills…..that is not expected to be routine. After living in Pisticci being able to pay a bill over the phone in two or three minutes is so easy. Almost nothing has been straightforward there.)

Today I made a sort of cottage pie with cheesey potatoes. I think some of it might be going to Glasgow tomorrow. 

Next week I’m thinking about a sausage casserole with a scone topping. ( winter food.)

Having paid the big bill and had a little dance around the kitchen as I had assumed it would be complicated and time consuming I prepared some more canvases for painting. I found 2 big ones stuffed in the eaves…..I’ve hidden them now,  down the side of a set of drawers. If I have another 10 weeks to go then this room could get very crowded.

I only painted a little bunch of flowers from my vase of flowers.

I was thinking about portraits today and found a selection of self portraits done over the past 20 years in various mediums. ( few of which, I think, look much like me.)

I’m enjoying looking back over 20 years in a somewhat haphazard manner.

My grand daughter says she would wear a similar outfit  to the one I’m wearing…..this is not the first time this has been said. Am I dressing like a 20 year old???  ☺️

Wine time now.
