I met one of my neighbours on the way into town this morning. We were chatting and she said that she is also 70 this year. Both of us agreed that in our heads we were still much younger. Even though my Italian is not so good it’s possible to connect on a feeling level. I think we both felt better as we went on our way.

Wearing my 30 year old wrangler jeans is very cheering. I suppose in Italy I’m not very old , but as both my parents were gone by early 70s ……..

However I probably feel like this before every birthday.. ..maybe….

Today I’ve been fixing my headphones with superglue and finishing yesterday’s painting. I also dyed my hair and bought more wine.

I have enjoyed being at home. My appointment  at the optician’s is on Friday. I’m hoping that there is some improvement and that I’ll be back here on the 10th of June. I think I need to be here.

I’m really pleased with this painting. I wanted to paint scenes where you would want to be in it. I want to be on that path going somewhere……

My flowers are watered well. The oleanders are starting to flower.  There will probably be more strawberries when I get back.

Cheers 🍷🍷
