Began this morning with a visit from a friendly little ginger cat and its stripey friend.




After breakfast I had a lot of fun making plans for something I want to write. I decided to ask CHATGPT to give me suggestions for names. It was very helpful even if I didn’t agree with the favourites. As there are no libraries here I suppose I could have found a book of Italian names online and bought it. But I am very happy with the almost instant help. Got lots of ideas now.
I’m using some of my paintings as references.
I refused CHATGPT s offer to virtually give me a plot line. That would be a step too far.
I read almost a whole book on the History of Verona. It was interesting as people were just as horrible and warlike and torturey as they are in quite a lot of the world nowadays.
Am glad I’m living in this period in Italy.
My bin bill was waiting for me when I got back, so I set off to pay it and get some shopping.
It’s so much more pleasant to go out now.






Then I got a lovely gift from my neighbour.

This afternoon I’ve been looking unsuccessfully for a certain size of canvas online. If I can’t find one then I might need to make my own. Prefer not to.
Wine time now after a very satisfactory day.
Cheers🍷🍷
