2026 in Pisticci…a little bit of happiness arrived…..

I was giving up on my new coffee pot ever arriving when the phone rang around 5pm. Nightmare!! Speaking Italian on the phone is hard enough , but working out where the courier is when I don’t  really know the street names is tricky to say the least. However I set out to meet him on via meridionale ( one street name I know.)  And while still speaking on the phone we waved to each other.

I’m not surprised that strangers with vans don’t  want to drive in Dirupo.

But it was all a very happy and friendly meeting, then I walked back home clutching my parcel.

And this is what it was.

A little dose of happiness. Perfect.
Nice. Matches my table.

It’s  been raining. First time in ages. Trying to decide if it was enough to not water my flowers.

This morning I was off out at 8am to buy ice lollies and other important stuff. Was back home before 8.30am. If I want to get the urbano bus I’ll have to go later. Can’t hang about with frozen food.

I painted the last 20x20cm canvas.

Quite pleased with this. I especially  like the hat.

Then I prepared six 30x30cms canvases.

All ready for six more portraits.

Now I think I’ll have a night at home and maybe tomorrow  night I’ll go out.

Cheers🍷🍷
