This morning I was in an office…waiting.

I arrived about 9.30am and finally was seen after 11am. 

In the meantime I painted 5 paintings on my phone, wrote something briefly and tried to work out who was before me as people went out, came in , met friends, changed seats, went in to the office together, handed in or collected documents in between. 

At one point I asked who was next, and it was someone who had just arrived. 

However I was probably the most popular person there, when I was only in with the tax person for approximately 2 minutes.  ( 15 to 20 minutes was the average appointment) There were some surprised happy faces when I left. It felt good.

Basically I was told to come back next year. I’m okay with that.

I had a good time last night at the pettollata.

There was good food, interesting people and it wasn’t cold.

I was quite proud of myself as I didn’t know anyone except Teresa,  didn’t speak the language well but still had a good time. Was shown some brilliant home made presepe.(nativity scenes) People here are very creative.

Finally this afternoon I got back to painting.

Then someone came round and bought another small painting.

I’m still getting used to my new phone and some apps are only working on my old one. Strange!

Anyways, tomorrow could be a quiet painting day. I think that would be lovely.

Cheers🍷🍷
