I went to the bathroom to retrieve the palette knife I had washed previously, the window was open, noticed the colour of the sky, decided to check whether some of the laundry was already dry and bring it inside.

By the time I had gone from the bathroom to the balcony via the kitchen it was just starting to rain (but everything was dry, so I hurriedly brought everything inside.

Then I run one flight of stairs to my mother, to help her retrieve *her* laundry, and by the time I reached her and we were half-way through her laundry it had started to *pour*

(most of her laundry was saved by the awning)

Yesterday I believe we met one of these

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_wh…

it was quite long, shiny, black and quite beautiful, and I told @Diego Roversi “I believe that's a “scurzun””

Then I opened the Italian page on wikipedia, specifically the section it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierophi… and found that, because of a ~20 km difference, it was a “ratera” instead. And both places are supposed to be speaking the same language! :D

Prima legge dei sistemi operativi

• se è windows e funziona, è merito di windows
• se è windows e non funziona, è colpa del produttore hardware che non sa fare i driver
• se è linux e non funziona, è colpa di linux
• se è linux e funziona, no guarda, è un caso, una anomalia statistica, probabilmente sei un nerd che non ha una vita

Seconda legge dei sistemi operativi

• se è windows e si rompe, lo risolvi tranquillamente con un formattone riparatore
• se è linux e si rompe, è complicato, non è stabile e sinceramente non posso vivere così.

@Yaku 🐗 non so perché, ma leggendo questo articolo mi è venuto in mente un tuo post di qualche giorno fa :D

Up to know, everything I've ever painted¹ was on a format between A6 and B8. The acrylic paint I have is in 20 ml tubes, other than 120 ml of titanium white that is lasting me forever.

Then during the weekend I had an overambitious idea that I don't even mention, because it will end in nothing, and I decided I wanted to do at least a couple things on a slightly bigger format, before committing to anything else.

Of course, I also never bought any mounted canvas: I paint mostly on watercolour (postcard) paper, as that sturdy enough for such small formats, and I have a couple pieces of canvas mounted on cardboard, also in A6, that I haven't used yet.

And it was the weekend, and a weekend when I was too busy to visit a shop, but I had a couple one-hour slots and I was feeling the Urge.

So I took the biggest pad of watercolour paper I have (A3-ish, spiral bound at the top, not even glued on the sides) and started to paint with acrylic on it.

I have no idea either.

Ora, io ci ho provato a raccogliere documentazione fotografica, ma il pinofono mi ha tradita

ma vi assicuro che lì sopra c'erano *tutti* i treni in orario (erano all'incirca le 14:15 o giù di lì, orario studenti, ma treni non particolarmente pieni)

comunque darò la colpa per la foto ad un gomblotto di #trenò

Non ho idea di chi siano i gruppi organizzatori (non ho visto loghi della compagnia delle opere sul sito, ma mi son fermata a quel genere di controllo), ma l'evento potrebbe essere interessante per chi è di #saronno

This morning I woke up and the corner of my pillowcase was doing this, should I worry?

(yes, I have a pencil and a sketchbook (that I almost never use) close to the bed, but not a phone with a camera. ok, actually I did have a phone with a camera, but its battery had been flat for a few days, as usual)

TFW you partially pull your drying rack out of the wall (it's attached with six screws that go into wall plugs, one of the plugs came out of the wall) in the morning, and then in the evening you see that it has been removed from the wall, *and* the wall has already been repaired so that it can be reattached soon.

Thanks @Diego Roversi !

This morning #tea failure was forgetting to set the timer while it was brewing.

luckily I wondered about it after a reasonable amount of time and it is still drinkable (and the bread didn't burn).
