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!

Have brought a new quilt today and just about to change my bed - when did quilts become so light weight? I like to feel the weight of mine at night !

Quilts became so lightweight to create a market for weighted blankets ;)

This affie - I did invented by me sprint hill accelerations. Measurements in metres, obvs.

3 x (55-45-35-35-45-55) with walk back recovs. 3 - 4 walk mins between sets.

They are Flat Bottom Valley Hills - two very short fast accels in the middle of each set. Done and dusted in 25 mins from front door to hill and back in front door. Warm ups? I don't need a warm up for sprint hills. (Raffo does)

is having 2 swab tests in a day a newt? The Zoe app told me to get a test as I'd reported headache for a week, then the ONS man actually turned up today.

Purple sprouting broccoli from our garden tonight. Genuine newt - had PSB before but not grown by us.

Raffo's already sampled a third of the crop but I've been demolishing the home grown cabbages to clear a raised bed for new crops

The best I can muster today is bothering to record a walk to the Co-Op on my Garmin (for WSW). Rest day. Busy at work. Not much else to report!

I had my first appointment with a hygienist since 2018 today, my newt is paying for the PPE worn by the hygienist, a mere snip at £10 on top of the charge for her services.

Another newt for me. I found the episodes of ‘Elizabeth R’ on iPlayer as recommended in Autumnleaves blog and watched the first episode. It is 50 years old but I hadn’t watched it before and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the other episodes. Thanks, Autumnleaves. :)

Thank you Pin Lady :-)

I've had a bit of an odd day, no newts from me, but plenty of good spring-y ones here. There's an older one I really like, but also a couple from today. I'll have to ponder

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.
