'Walking' long distance paths

 A few days ago I finished my Conquerer Event virtual trail and sent off for my medal. It arrived today. 

The Jurassic Coast path is about 100 miles long, so it took me about 90 days, adding 2000+ steps most days. It's the only way I have found the motivates me to add steps to my step counter every day, mostly by walking on the spot while watching television, although when we go out I often exceed my target. Chopping veg and playing the piano grts recorded as steps. I used to think this was cheating but now I regard it as 'being active' and therefore allowable. Although the 'steps' I get from winding wool are another matter!

I am now two and a half miles along the Cotswold Way... that will keep me motivated for another couple of months.

Post

BB (Best Beloved, or in other words my husband) walked round to the post office with three packages for me; the cover story is on its way to Ang, a book to a friend, and a card to another friend who has come down with covid. It's clearly still out there, she's the third of my friends to have caught it this spring. Take care, all you lovely people, and stay away from people with coughs and sniffles if you can!

Book

I've been looking through this... I find people very hard to draw. Although the title made me smile; I imagined it being full of instructions on how to cover people with paint really quickly, presumably before they had a chance to run away?

I remembered to check the comments awaiting moderation for the first time in months, so apologies if yours was one that got missed. 

Music

This is a jolly little jig, the first movement from the St Paul's Suite by Gustav Holst. He composed it for St Paul's School for Girls in 1913 when he was teaching there.
