Awake and up all night

I love art. I am in an art class. We have a private teacher. I have had a stomach bug just feeling better today. Love the story about the mother and daughter. My brother lives in London I will tell him about the exhibition. He goes anywhere that is free.

Beautiful uki lovely view. Is this in London?

Gill and OH, have some pride back with my seal of approval  . 

2 miles is a very respectable distance to walk. Helen's 10k steps puzzled me. Last night I was tired so went to bed early at midnight. Having got upstairs with my 1.75litre water bottle jammed in my pocket, I realised I had not refilled the damned thing. I wearily went downstairs again to refill it in the kitchen. My staircase has 13 steps. The extra trip meant I had done 78 steps during the day. Helen must be running the wrong way on an escalator. 

Have a good evening everyone .  xxx

Notes:

1. I don't like to drink water from upstairs taps because they are fed by the tank in the loft where I once found the skeleton of a starling. Kitchen tap is direct from the mains.                                     
2. Another spider incident was my excuse for forgetting to refill the bottle. I was heading for the kitchen but saw a large spider next to the vacuum cleaner. Had the spider from the recent bedroom incident found its way out?? Anyway, I plugged the vacuum cleaner in and sucked the damned thing up, unplugged, pressed the lead retract button and went upstairs.
3. My son has some sort of computer wristwatch which apparently counts steps. Helen must have something similar, otherwise she'd be preoccupied counting all day.  

That made me chuckle Ray. I had a spider incident yesterday got it with some kitchen roll must be the season for spiders. Mine was a big one.

I had a Seal emoji in that post. When posted, it disappeared. Must be a new rule since the software tweek: No Seal emojis.  xxx

Yes. Near the Youth Hostel.

Evening Ray, that's if you're still awake as yours and posts immediately after have only just arrived here, 2 hours after the event  The tweaks aren't tweaky enough!

You're getting an awful lot of the September spiders hon, but we've only had a couple so I'm guessing your home is warmer than ours and they're staying outside. More likely they're in hiding, ready to scramble out and scare the living daylights out of me!

A couple of notes; we don't have a tank in the loft so no skeletal remains to lace the upstairs water; we've got 12 steps, and I always count them coming down, as I once trod on the bottom of my pyjama pants and went flying down the last 5, so know I'm out of danger territory when I reach number 8, unless I fall down the last 4; I've got a digital watch with step counter but never used it cos I don't know how. Hopeless...

Let's see if it'll let me post a  

If nowt's there it hasn't. Hugs Ray and hope I haven't woken you up xxx

Afternoon Gill, I saw your post just as I closed the Mac down for bed last night. The tweaked software is doing strange things. The delays are long yet the notifications are probably responding as soon as you hit SEND. In the last few days I've clicked notifications but many of the alleged replies do not appear for hours. I think someone has left their slippers in the software gearbox. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the time they spend keeping this show on the road with bilge pumps working nicely.

My son visited 3 hours ago. He spotted yet another large spider above my fridge freezer. He's taller than me, so made the suction operation look easy. That could be the third spider in the bag, assuming it's not a Houdini spider who has enjoyed the fairground tube ride then come out for more.  xxx    

I have a smart watch that does all kinds of things.
