Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hann - it's a first floor window. Swallows nest in the eaves above it and in the eaves of the house next door so I thought they might find it convenient. They don't seem to have started their nesting yet though.
Thanks, jda.
I think I might leave it for a while longer - you never know.

badges are good!

I've been chatting to someone who was in my 1st club when I moved north. Not spoken for ages but got talking over triathlon.

Turns out he's jobless thanks to Covid and yesterday one of our team said they were moving teams so I was able to say "sorry you are out of work .. but hey what about this job!"

Which was nice

Never mind writing in my diary - I have just actually booked three track sessions here at the seaside - Next Tue, then Thu, then the classic Sunday morning session. CAN'T WAIT.

Sharkie! You are positively Newting today :)

As is everyone else it seems...

I have had my Newt evening Nordic walk. Managed to get 45 ish minutes in, 4 kms, with the newt poles, working on my technique. All after 6 pm :)

Now cooking a curry... not newt,

But very newt: we have an amazing display of primroses every spring on part of the castle ramparts and for all the years I have lived here I have never actually photographed them as I am usually either on the bike or in the car going that way on the road. Today I decided to do half my walk on tarmac, so I could work on technique properly and stopped to take a photo of the primroses.

Sarah, try putting the feeder on a ground floor window, see if the find it and if so, then move it up? I used to feed the birds before I got the cat and it took weeks to find the normal feeders on the fence outside the window...

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
