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!

Running, an Errand

Not really an errand but I went for a run while my husband was getting an operation. The hospital was nearly 40 miles away so I drove him there, then rather than sit about stressing I went for a lovely 6 miler by the river.

That sounds like a perfect solution Doric. A couple of times when my mum was in hosp earlier this year, I ran there through some woods and on the green bits of the hospital grounds.

This morning I ran on the cinder path in the work gardens, hiding my Keep Cup behind a bench, the down to the coffee van to get an espresso. (Short errand.)

Many a time I've included the paper shop at the end of my run to get my newspaper. I've also delivered videotapes(how old am I!) to a friend's house and recently a 12 mile long run was 6 miles to the train station to pick up tickets and run home again.

Once a fortnight at work I get my running gear on at lunchtime and run to the shop that has trays of sushi only on fortnightly Fridays. If I walked there and back it would take an hour with no time for eating and showering.

Got something to say?
