It was very pleasant walking up town this morning. It’s definitely the best time of year.

Someone told me that my new supermarket  is also cheaper than the others. Today I bought another bottle of wine. It was the from the same local winery as my favourite,  but was just called “vino rosso”. I’ve just discovered that it’s 14.5%!

Back home, and I did some more hand washing.  It’s very satisfying to wash things by hand and then hang them out, where they dry in an hour or so.

By 2pm I couldn’t put off drawing figures on my Pisticci feste painting any longer.

( short pause here, as I watched a procession go past the end of my street.)

This time I think I’m on the right track.

I was just thinking that I might get it finished today when my phone rang. It was somebody from the past who wanted me to do something and would pick me up in half an hour and take me to see what I could do.  

So now I’m painting another mural . Probably starting next week.

Around 5pm a client dropped in to chose a painting for a gift. She’s  bought other paintings from me in the past.

Now I’m sitting here half scared and half excited. Murals are scary. No hiding in my studio and taking my time. Mostly I think it’ll be fun. Nice people to work for.

Wine time now.

Cheers🍷🍷
