Normally I don’t go out on rainy days as there’s always a dry day coming. Why get my feet wet or get tangled up in my umbrella! This morning I was standing in a doorway trying to find my hat in my rucksack and put it on while holding my brolly. It nearly got run over when I put it down and it went off without me.

It was worth going out. I keep forgetting that it’s good fun spending time with  friends. 

I  think I’m getting more introverted as I get older. 

And as it happens my new ” tigger” shoes seem to be waterproof. Result!

I wore one of my new jumpers ( from China) last night to the pizzeria and and someone jokingly asked if I’d painted it. It is very colourful . I think it’s the prettiest jumper I’ve ever owned. I’m still enjoying my cord coat as well. After years of making do,…. with style, I thought,….. I am just a little bit experimenting with clothes I always thought I’d like to wear, but couldn’t afford. They’re probably made of plastic and are totally fake but living in a house full of fake furniture, windows, bricks and an extension it feels very appropriate and perfect.

It wasn’t supposed to rain today which was why I hung out my washing! Doh!

I didn’t stop work until after 6pm tonight. Which meant I’d painted 3 small Pisticci scenes.

I even had time to try out a new set up for another scarf and flowers painting.

It’s miserable outside.

Am glad it’s wine time now. It’s cosy inside. I might even light some candles.

Cheers🍷🍷
