Today I went shopping first and then decided that I’d  stay at home and paint for most of the day.

It was a good decision. As I sat at my little table painting portraits I felt so happy that here I was in an apartment in Verona painting. My teenage self who thought that going to Verona for a long stay would  never happen to me,  would be so very impressed.

I enjoyed painting two portraits from the two paintings in the hall. I have a plan for them.

And repeat after lunch…

I don’t know which one I like best.

Tonight I went for a walk to find something to deal with my rather pongy shoes. It would only get worse as it gets hotter. 

Someone is having a party outside in the street.

At least it shouldn’t  be happening every night I hope.

I have noise cancelling  headphones. And if necessary I’ll  turn on the AC.

Anyways I can hardly hear it in the kitchen.

I nearly bought a lightweight top tonight, but decided to wait until tomorrow  and if I still thought it was a good idea I’d get it.  Feel very sensible.

I hadn’t expected such high temperatures.

My last week here starts tomorrow. I’m  trying to think if there’s anything I haven’t  done that matters.

In the meantime it’s wine time again.

Cheers🍷🍷
