The forecast was for rain today, but when it was still dry at 10am I decided to go out for a coffee.

Naturally as soon as I was half way along the street it began to rain. And my special bar was crowded so I didn’t go in.

I found another bar in a nearby back street with only one person in it. Bravely ( for me ) I marched in. It’s  possible that the barista had got out of bed on the wrong side that morning. Who knows.

Being a person who sells things and did markets for years I can understand why a single person wanting a cappuccino is not as welcome as a group of four wanting  breakfast, orange juice and coffee. Sigh!!!

Sometimes I feel like apologising…….

Anyways , back home in my flowery apartment I thought that I’d do a quick flower painting. It would have been nice to work from life, but it was just too awkward.

After lunch, and successfully making the microwave work again, I fiddled about with the scene I’ve been working on until I thought it was as finished as possible.

The plan for tonight was to do a passegiata in Via Mazzini. I popped into a book shop on the way..

Then headed home quite soon afterwards as it looked like rain.

I found a scene I might paint next, on my way for coffee this morning.

I tried watching salvage hunters in Italian on TV earlier in the hope that I could improve my Italian, but it’s so fast.

Wine time now.

Cheers 🍷🍷
