2026 in Pisticci….steps ..

I thought that I’d go out to the Supermarket downhill this afternoon and be back in 20 minutes.

So I set off, enjoying the cooler weather which makes going out around 4pm pleasant.

Pretty light
Had to make a detour
Strong shadows
Some of the steps down to the supermarket.

However when I arrived at the supermarket it was closed. There was no sign with opening hours. I know it was open at 4pm last month because I was there.

The thought of walking back up the steep steps with nothing inspired me to head up town   using many more steps.

The second set of steps .
Not taking the lift by myself…..so more steps
Finally uptown.

Everything was closed up town. Except the cash machine. So that was one thing I could access.

The little supermarket  was closed, with a sign saying that they would be closed every afternoon this week.

Empty and closed

There is a supermarket that’s  open all day , but it is much too far away and the approach for pedestrians like myself is scary dangerous. No pavements.

I came home with money, but no shopping.

The shutter was open to let the pepperoncini dry, but closed just as I took the photo.
I like this arch
View towards chiesa madre.
Nearly at piazza San rocco.

So might be fish fingers and a banana to eat tonight…..

I got my palette ready to paint earlier, but decided that tomorrow will do to begin painting and watched part of a video about David Hockney instead.

Am glad it’s  wine time now.

Cheers🍷🍷
