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!

I’ve invented a new word today, “dismolished” and a new saying “I can’t hear myself concentrate.”

I think that’s a pretty good day’s work.

Sarah, it usually takes ages for them to find a feeder, but then they tell each other! And are all over it.

I had one of those window feeders Sarah and I'm afraid the birds never took to it and I gave up using it. I have a bunch of feeders in a more distant tree that they love but I have to stand at the window and use binoculars which is a bit of a shame. My mother has a tree close to a window which works really well, we can see the birds easily while we are ourselves eating which is fun.

My newt was giving a seminar on zoom, not a new phenomenon in itself but the first I've done this year, on a recent/ongoing piece of research. It was very useful to have a chat with colleagues, we've been a bit hermit-like over the winter. More contact coming up later this month too. Feels like a bit of an awakening and I'm more positive about work.

I had one on the kitchen window, it was over a bush that the sparrows spend a lot of time in and they took to it really quickly - but the kitchen window has a Venetian blind, so maybe it doesn't look so "window-like" to a sparrow.

When we had the windows changed I forgot to take the feeder off and the flippin' fitters must have thrown it away.

That sounds great JDA

- I think I would have preferred seminars and conferences online to the fear of having to talk to a big room full of strangers. Though I'm glad I don't need to try it now :)

Excellent jingling, all. Really, you all deserve recognition but I don't want to just reproduce the last seven pages again.

Several newts caught really my eye - CC2's leggings of which I am very envious and GM's experiment in home hair styling are joint runners up, but the winner has to be BBL :)

Not just taking a leap to join the creative writing masterclass, or booking a covid jab, but also finally completing on the house sale!
Well done, Baroness!

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.
