It’s taking me some time to get into ” working ” mode.
Just sent a proposal for a painting of Pisticci to the person who ordered a portrait.
Luckily I could show her the nearly finished portrait. ( which she likes. )
Which would explain why she said that any size of canvas would do when I thought she had asked for a size I couldn’t find…for the painting of Pisticci.
Two women came to my house on consecutive evenings. One with a daughter who was collecting a painting.
Yesterday I contacted the daughter, who speaks English and asked her which phone number was her mother’s number and checked if the portrait was for her. No, she said. So she must be the other lady’s daughter?
But, if you are still following this, the phone number of her mother is the the lady who wants the portrait.
Serious note to self…….WRITE VERY CLEAR NOTES.
Tomorrow I will contact the other lady and start again.
Today was market day in Pisticci. I enjoyed walking there and looking around even though there were not as many stalls as usual.






Then I went for a coffee at Bar Pisticci followed by some shopping in the little supermarket where I was lucky enough to get the last box of ice lollies.

This afternoon I’ve been busy sending messages to the wrong people.
Must do better!
Glad it’s wine time.
Cheers 🍷🍷
