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!

Can't see when it's raining. Optician usefully suggested contacts but while i did have them I haven't since about 2012. So get wetted up. Possible cause for my slipping over and buggering up my elbow on Sunday in the only bit of rain that weekend!

I am a glasses wearer and run in prescription sports sunglasses 😎 mostly, if it’s dark then I wear contacts. I am trying to run again after my ankle injury in May but it’s still playing up so I am praying they cancel Windermere marathon because at this rate I can’t see me getting round. But worse things going on in the world so it’s ok. I am still working from home these days, go to the office one day a week for a few hours. It’s fab, I am very lucky.

Healing thoughts to all.

I can 'see' okay, I just can't read street names or focus on faces from the other side of the road :o . Small details which would change my line of approach stuff, really 😉

I have never tried running without my glasses but think I would just about get away with it as it’s distance I need them for but I’m sure I would see a bus coming towards me ;-)

Well done Nutso and kwala :-) :-)

Unfortunately I haven’t been running as my frozen shoulder is causing me issues in more ways than one - including getting a bra on, and let’s just say I can’t run without a sports bra!!!

[May we we take it that running without a bra would alter a frozen shoulder to black eye(s) and at least one dislocated shoulder?]

Yesterday I felt better than I have in as long as I can remember, today is pretty good too 😇 . I seem to have my meds to food ratio balanced *woohoo*
