Here Come The Next Twenty Thousand.

20,000. That is the number of page views this blog has received. Wow! That is quite something. A real milestone  reached.
Another milestone I have noticed, actually within the last few seconds, is the fact that I just managed to spell the word recived without getting the 'e' and the 'i' in the wrong order. Oh blast! I missed out the 'e' that time. I ought to go back and correct that mistake, but to tell you the truth I can't be bothered! But hey, one mistake uncorrected. That's a pretty decent record. When you consider the amount of writing I've done.

I want to thank you all for your support, and all your comments. I love the fact that you are there, and I think of you as real friends.

Recently, actually I first noticed it yesterday, a little box with the words 'composition editor' has began popping up as I write. I have no idea why, or how to make it go away. Do you think blogger is trying to tell me something? Do you know how I can get rid of the pesky thing? It appears when I move the cursor.

'Garden' by John Bain. Pastel.
Should I go back and insert the missing letter? No, don't think I will. It's about time you all found out, I'm not perfect! Sorry if you feel I've let you down.

    I just noticed the "composition editor" tooltip you mentioned. Tooltips are meant to give you some useful information when you hover your mouse over something. Apparently, though, this one serves no purpose other than to confound old people. Sorry.

    Oh, and congratulations on the 20,000 views. :)

    Reading your blog is bad for my potential schedule. You make me want to draw and paint. But I'm not going away. Too much fun.

    Now you have me wondering how many page views I have. I've never seen the composition editor, must be new

    I love your paintings, John! So bold and colourful! A pity your such a rubbish speller! Apologies 'your'e' such a rubbish speller! Never mind as no-one's perfect. Thanks for the supportive comments recently! Much appreciated to know there are friends out there in the blogging world!

    Sorry John but I genuinely made a mistake this time with my typing 'you're'! The joke is certainly on me! I do feel rather foolish!

    You don't let us down as much as blogger does.

    No one is perfect, including professional or the preachy picky ones out there.

    Your Garden painting is quite amazing, and whimsical!
