It's Thursday, it's writing day. Hooray, hooray. I'm looking forward to our meeting tonight and the chance to do some writing with the group. Maybe we can even play with the Bananagrams. That'd be good.
January 29--Architectural Detail with a Landscape, from Pompeii. This has to be Italy, Bonnie thought, looking at the art on the museum walls. Only Italians would put all those colors together like that. Two different reds, one bluish red like cherries and the other orange-ish like tomatoes. Two different greens too, one blue and one yellow. All of this art is too garish with too many colors splashed all around just like the Italian people. The people in the streets are loud and they dress in bright colors, if they're young, and they're always shouting and gesturing. Their energy makes Bonnie tired. The heat of Italy makes her tired too. In the cool dampness of England she felt energized, ready to run away from the stultifying restrictions of the guided tour but here in sizzling Italy she's happy to sit on the coach where it's cool and she likes visiting the great cathedrals and museums with their centuries-old chill steeped into the walls.
See you tonight.
