I was feeling a bit sorry for myself today as it was cold and miserable again.

Until I looked at the weather in Sicily and the snow in a place beginning with K in Russia where the drifts of snow tower over blocks of flats.

I lit the pellet stove about 4pm. So it’s getting warm now.

The rest of the news is equally fascinating today. I have a quick look to see if anything else has happened.  Then half an hour later I realise I should have been doing something useful.

In between looking at my phone I found some reference photos for a small mural I’m going to do. I made some quick sketches of grapes and leaves.

Then I looked for a long thin canvas to use and eventually found one pretending to be a shelf. So I had to make a new shelf out of 4 bits of wood. Still  at least I found the canvas.

Then I took up a small hem on some new trousers.

Oh, and I repainted the lightshade  more cream coloured.

I’m very glad that it’s winetime now. I think I’ll go and turn on the electric blanket.

Tomorrow  I think the sun will shine.

Cheers🍷🍷
