Last year was so different as I was in Scotland staying with Katy while I got my cataracts fixed.

I don’t like winter. Even though it’s very hot in the summer I’d still rather be too hot.

However I think I’m doing okay.

I went out again this morning to the supermarket,  ( catfood) , the butchers’ ( wine) and the   fruit and veg store, ( carrots). I also had time to go for a coffee.

On the way I stopped to look at the machine heading for the centre of the earth.

It’s pretty good for us really,  as all this work will hopefully keep Pisticci  from sliding off the hill.

Back home it was time to get to work on the calanche painting. I worked on it this morning and then after lunch. 

Today my new heated gilet was perfect. It’s very warm even without heating, but as  it was colder today I switched it on . Bliss! ( As long as I remember to keep it charged .)

I found a photo of my house from about 15 years ago when I didn’t live in it, but used it as a studio.

It’s cold and rainy outside , but quite cosy in here. Must remember to switch on my electric blanket.

Then wine time and maybe some more Inspector Alleyn.
