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 tried a 'craft beer' tonight that I had never had before. I'm not entirely sure if I have even had craft beer before but I suspect I have without being particularly aware. However I went out and chose this one from the 'craft beer' section of the supermarket today. It was all right, but nothing special and a bit too strong for me.

Oh and another newt. Came home from walking the dog to find that the kettle wasn't working. Tried everything (ie I turned it off at the wall and back on again) to no avail so an emergency drive into town to get a new one just before Argos shut. So we now have a lovely new kettle and I will be able to have my usual number of cups of tea in the morning. I suspect it is working from home that has caused the previous one to fail through over use!

:-( EP

I got a bunch of wild garlic in my veg box delivery this morning. That's a lifetime newt as while I have seen wild garlic in the woods I have never picked it. I'm going to claim the eating of it as a newt too when I do.

I did look for it when walking the dog in the woods yesterday but couldn't find any - although may start looking more often if I like whatever I use it for.

wild garlic in a veg box is a newt and a bit of a cheat on the company!

I've seen a few more colleagues in person today that I've not seen for a whole year. That's quite newty and lovely.

Apart from that I'm having a fairly rubbish day, though. Shall look for lovelier newts this evening when I get home, perhaps.

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.
