2026 in Pisticci…Buon Ferragosto….

Fireworks at 6am to signal the national holiday.

I was sitting outside enjoying the cool breeze and writing to myself.

As it was a holiday I read a lot and made some leather covers for notebooks out of cut up handbags. It’s  one way of keeping part of sentimental  bags without them taking up space.

Now I’d  better use them. The other two notebooks are covered with sticky fake leather. Been watching a lot of videos about travellers notebooks, zibaldone, pens, journals etc. The real things are in general very expensive.

Not 100% sure what a ” zibaldone” is , but what a lovely word, and I can have a free cheap version. I think you write proverbs and sensible things in it. Like a personalised self help autobiography.

I thought that flowers would be good to give myself today  so I painted some daffodil type flowers in the vase I bought at the market. Used the neocolours again.

Pleased with this.

Tonight I plan to go out about 8pm and see how it goes. I’ll  take my camera. There’s a good chance that I’ll be home again before anything happens.

I’m looking forward to seeing the lights.

Cheers🍷🍷
