Looking forward to this!

Love a good graph!

Ooo graphs 🤓

Interesting! 🧐

Excellent medal. Well done Jovial Gnome. G

Excellent!

I found the mini Skittles a bit fiddly (but delicious) as I'd just got back from holiday and my travelling confectionary was Giant Skittles (as recommended by V'rap).

It is fab

Fab medal!

Top Pi-ing! G

hahaha, all I need now is a plant Amazon sell them too !

I understood about one word in ten, but will look forward to the time-lapse video

Loved that the next youtube vid was Riders on the Storm, don't overwater your plant.

All Pi projects are things of beauty: good work. The Pi 4 2Gb is the base model at £34 nowadays. For a budget version, there's the Pi Zero W at £9.80 - add a header for £1 and run it headless. Thanks for the inspiration to get back into Pi projects.

Excellent. Getting back to playing with mine (or a new one seeing as it's busy) is something I keep meaning to find time to do.

Given the prices of commercial watering systems I'm tempted to have a go at this. Will be interesting to see if the pumps have the power to push the water down long tubes as there will be a capillary resistance to overcome.

An alternative might be to use a solenoid valve, and have the weight of the water in your reservoir do the work. I was gonna suggest putting your pump higher than your plants, but that might cause a bit of overwatering on day 1

Nice going...I could be tempted into playing with something like that. My dad would have loved this too, though he'd already managed to do something of the like back in the 70s...with a water level setting off the pump to empty our laundry sinks when the washing machine was running. Probably used an 8080 microprocessor for it, I suspect.

Water Everyone

I have lots of an unidentifiable house plant Nightshadow bought home. It keeps sprouting baby plants and needing re-potting. I’ll bring one round sometime.

You mean you've not been entering the sunflower competition every year?

Who waters the watering system...

Also I have somehow baked two pis now and don’t know how; will post details here at some point now that I know there is a community.

I do love a good baked pi. Were they shortcrust or puff pastry?

How on earth do you find time to do this sort of thing with all the problems/opportunities that us well meaning idiots chuck at you in Fetchland?

I said I didn't need one, but these are so cool I might go for it! Thanks. G

if there is an option for a slightly smaller size, then Im in

Ordered and paid. Thanks Fetch.

Ordered and paid, thanks. It will be my only actual mask rather than just using a buff!

Ordered and paid, thanks

Ordered and paid.

I do love that shop link 😂

Ordered and paid.

Ordered and paid

Ordered and paid.

Ordered. Will pay tomorrow.

Wasn't really going to order one of these but if I did.......just want to check that next week you're not going to be putting up similar looking Buffs (or products similar to Buffs) are you.......?

I asked RHS about buffs (lowercase) initially, but they can't get that sort of fabric. Our previous ones have all been Buffs (uppercase). I think more likely that I might do Buffs in November time, and probably in a more traditional Fetch design.

Thanks - in that case I will consider. I need to overcome my irrational fear of something behind my ears (stems from being stung by a bee or wasp behind the ear when aged about 6 I think)

Ordered and paid.

Ordered and paid by Bank Transfer as requested. Thank you.

Yup. Ordered and done.

Ordered and paypal-ed xx

Ordered and paid - NB. I have also ordered one for V'rap, so it'll have *her* name on the order (they are separate orders)

I have ordered one of each and paid - thanks.

3 ordered (2 large, 1 small). Money transferred.

And another large one for the fickle Mr F Scotsman, who assured me he didn’t want one at 5pm and has just changed his mind....!! Thank you.

Ordered & paid. Thanks for organising these Fetch.

re:Buffs, I got my company ones from a reputable chinese supplier, and recently did some for the school PTA to raise funds - we're making a good 200% profit selling them for £2.50 - DM me if you need a supplier contact...

Initial thought is that you have stopped typing half way through a sentence.
Are they reversible or 2 different designs?

Nooo - you added the rest of the sentence whilst I was writing my comment - now I just look stupid

I like the one on the left and would def have one

I’d be game for a couple. We’re going to have to use face coverings for some time no doubt, so a few more wouldn’t go amiss.

I prefer the one on the right.

the price is offputting.

But might have one of each. (I think that I’ve finished posting before finishing thinking now!)

i like. but i do have a problem with most masks being too big. do they have tie up straps or adjustable straps?

Not for me - I seem to have an excellent supply of face coverings!

Yes deffo. I thought about asking you to get their offcuts for the crafty thread to make into masks!

I like both and would buy two.

I'll bid 9.15 for one of the ones on the right.

And maybe one of the ones on the left too (since responses to this thread seem to tumble out in pairs!).

Could you maybe give people the option to pay a minimum of £7:15 and accept more if people want to give more? I keep buying more and more from HellsBells but...

Aesthetically, I prefer the one on the right. But sadly, pricewise, I don't prefer either.

I like them. I am thinking that we will probs need masks for a long time so am getting quite a collection

I’m intrigued by their £5 per item cost - the ones I make cost around £2:50 in materials - for 3 different fabrics, thread, elastic, bias tape, nose pieces and elastic toggles. I am slow but can make 3 an hour, so I’d love to know where their £5 is going for only one fabric and much less fiddly construction with faster machines and operatives

RHS are a business HB.

Wages, power, other business overheads I guess.

What ER and Fetch said! And they've sent out two free of charge already! Samples, marketing, postage, machine setup time, programaking the new pattern, wastage, sales team time dealing with the enquiry etc etc ...

I'd be happy with two of each...just in case hubby wanted a couple of them.

I've bought two lots of masks from ebay and Amazon neither have been great. These look much better and I'd be happy to pay £9.15 to get one and support my favourite running website.

I'd be happy to buy a couple to add to my collection

Green doesn't suit me.

I'd have one

I'd buy one

I'd buy one of the right hand design

I’d buy one .i like the one in the right. If it’s too big I’ll use as a hat.

I’ll buy one. Can I pay at the weekend when I’m back from my holibobs? 😁

I'd have one at either price, preferably the one on the right but both work.

I would buy one, prefer the design on the right hand side but happy to go with either. £9.15 seems reasonable to me on this occasion.

I'd probably buy one, I always regret it later when I pass on a piece of Fetch merch.

I'll have one. Maybe two...

I'm tending to use buffs at the moment so would prefer a buff in this design. I like the one on the right though so I'm tempted

Do they have a nose wire? How are they with glasses misting up?

Of course I'd have one or two - take my money!

I'd definitely have one.

No nose wire. Haven’t worn one long enough to tell you about glasses. It’s too hot to wear anything extra!

I would buy one of the design on the right.

I like the one on the left and I would happily pay the £9.15

I’d buy at least one, maybe one of each.

I’ll have one of each please. Whatever price (ok, no more than £10 each).

I like that one could turn the other cheek to make a point 😀

I must be a right tight arse.

WS, I agree the price is high, but for me I would buy as a little luxury.

I'm a buff user too because I don't like things round the back of my ears. If there was a buff I'd probably buy two though.

I think it’s a good price for a limited edition piece of preciousness and of course to help Fetch feed the electric meter....

I’d go for one. Happy to pay £9.15.

I'd like one of the right hand one, please!

I’d take one of the left hand side ones, the one that almost matches the T-shirt’s 🙂 price isn’t too off putting for limited edition stuff 😛

I'm quite well stocked, but would definitely be tempted! Would happily pay £9.15

I’ll have 2 of each. Happy to pay.

Just read back up. I’d prefer a couple of these and a couple of buffs.

I’d take 2 of the one on the right. As above perhaps minimum price with option to pay a little more.

I'd buy a buzillion (checks bank statement)... actually put me down for two

I'd also have two.

I’ll have a couple as well

BaronessBL makes a good point - (non-)Buffs qualify as face coverings, and I've always wanted a Fetch (non-)Buff anyway. The UK parkrun Tourists group get their "cow cowls" from giraffeuk.com and charge (last I knew about it) £8 - I'd happily pay a tenner for a Fetch one

I’d buy one - but only the one on the right.

One on the right, I’ll round it up to £10 for a Special mask.

I'd buy the one on the right.

I'd like you 😀

Oops! I mean I'd like one!😶

I'd like one of each and happy to pay the slightly higher price. Shame they don't have the nose strip, but the design might help when people get a bit too close in the supermarkets

I'd buy one... just can't work out which i prefer.

I will take 2 of the ones on the right

(applauds Minni Mad's typo!!!) Looks like the interest is there Fetch and well done to RHS for taking the initiative

Crikey any more subtle colours?

I'd consider a (reasonably priced) buffalike (which you haven't actually offered yet )

I like - I have a shirt they'll go with nicely!

They look ace, the price is right, but I really don't need one. I use one of my Fetch or other buffs mostly. Thanks for getting them in though and hope they go well. G

Hells Bells - cost includes paying staff, building heating, admin and support costs. Thing about anytime you hear “not for profit” - the company doesn’t make a profit after paying the board £100k+ 😬

I'd purchase one of each.

Nice. But have stocked up on masks already. When/if the same style buff comes out i will grab one for sure

I’ll purchase one on right at 9.15 to help a local business

Yep, I'm up for these. Liking both especially the one on the right.

Up for at least one. Preferred one on right.

I'd be interested in one of each

I'd definitely have one, possibly two. I don't think green suits me, but given the message, that's probably a pro rather than a con... Happy to pay £9.15.

I'd like one please, the one on the right, specially for when I go on the bus so the old folk/folk with poor eyesight can read it.

Opted for the right-hand mask. Looking forward to receiving it and will be more fun using than the NHS-standard disposable ones I have at present.

I’d suggest ‘stroke their stuff’ for swimmers, but it sounds much muckier than intended.

Swim strut = swut

Stephen was so keen to show me how much he loved and missed me for those 5 minutes of separation that he nearly broke both my shins when he hurtled back to me. It was really quite heartwarming and then alarming to watch him speed towards me.

I feel at this point we need a sneezing league.

I always call swimming flapping so Katie went flapping about in the river 😂 sorry Katie.

It's very important to make time for sneezing.

I love all of this blog.

Dave took the dogs to the beach while I brave the sea last week - they were incredibly worried to see me disappear and only have my head showing. I think they were even more scared I might try and take them in with me. Cookie did much barking at the waves

*passes tissues* and stores a couple of "Bless Yous" for future sneezing use.

Ace, I tend to save as 3 different activities which can be a bit of a pest.

I love the image of the 3 of you strutting up the river while Stephen tries to join in! Brilliant! Hope the horse fly bites aren't too nasty, horrible things! And the new trimming thing sounds brilliant, thanks fetch!

I highlighted this newly delivered feature in the Feature Feature thread! Well done. G

excellent addition

This is excellent I used the trim feature for the first time last week after accidentally switching my Garmin on again after finishing a bike ride but before saving it and was well impressed

Excellent - one of my runs recently turned out to have a long warm up walk and a long cool down walk on it, I wanted to record the walks as walks so I ended up uploading the run 3 times and trimming it to get 3 separate sessions.

Dogs can’t cope with having to be sensible on the bank, whilst their owners play like dogs in the water.

Oh my word, Fetch, that is a magnificent upgrade. Take the afternoon off. Thanks.

Ooh! Split? Really? That's new, isn't it? I will go and play after work today. Thank you ever so!

What does he MEAN, other sites. He needs to be interrogated I feel. Sploshing their stuff?

Wow and thanks for the changes. LOL at Stephen's reaction to Katie swimming!

Oh that’s fab! I did a virtual race a few weeks ago that was beyond the distance I could run. I had to submit a complete distance for the race but wanted to split it on my training record as run for the first section, then walk the second section. This makes that super easy to do!

Nightjar would never use another site! How dare you suggest such a thing 😝He meant He hadn’t heard of another site that offered this feature from other, less discerning runners.

I used to use all sorts of sites before FE started to support that sort of stuff. 😀 All have now gone commercial except our beloved FE.

That’s a great upgrade, thanks Fetch. I’m sure it will get a lot of use.

That would have been great if I'd known that this morning when my run comprised a warm-up run, some intervals and a stagger home
Flossie barks and whines enough to waken the dead if she sees me go into the sea. Our previous Lab used to swim out to me, grab my hand in her mouth and very insistently drag me back to her depth

I would win the sneezing league. Many years ago before Mrs Axe and I were even married we took a holiday in Kenya. The flight back was like the comedy series of 3 guys in hospital which I cannot recall the name of. Mrs Axe had been badly bitten by mozzies the night before and the bites went black and her legs were all swollen, The guy beside us had just been released from hospital after 10 days for his flight home. In sympathy I started sneezing and only stopped 10 hrs later when back at gatwick

This is one of my biggest annoyances when you use the Garmin warm up > tempo > cool down feature. That it all gets rolled up to an average pace over the total distance (Garmin Connect handles it properly but who on earth actually refers back to Garmin Connect to look at their training?!). A very good addition, sir!

I just log them as separate efforts

Baz: Only When I Laugh?

That’s it. Victor Meldrew was the doctor. The guy from the Likely lads was a patient.

This new feature will be very handy when I walk with the dog until it is OK to take him off the lead, do my run and then walk the last bit home again. Now can you make a feature where I can snap my route to the road when my GPS has been dodgy and has me meandering around all over the place - it always makes me look as if I've covered more miles than I have.

this new feature will be really useful, Ive developed a habit of always doing my first mile really slowly as a warm up so I reckon I'll be using this a fair bit - thanks!

This is truly awesome!! Why didn't I spot this last week!! The only addition that would add the icing on the cake would be for the remnant section (when "splitting") to also have some reference in the Notes & Comments that it was part of a entry that has now been split. But that is just laziness on my part, and only really is relevant if I am to go back through all my tempos and LRs to chunk out the tempo or MP sections (which I will do) so that my log becomes consistent and I can compare sessions consistently. Now I just need to work out how to categorise things. For a LR with a MP section in the middle, I've either recorded it as one run which I've used "Marathon Pace" for, or I've split it into the warm up / coll down sections which I've still called "Long Run" and the MP section self-titled. But would it make more sense to call the WU / CD exactly what they are? Or is there some value to maintaining the LR category so that if I want to see LR efforts I can filter for LR and MP and just review those? Oh, fun, fun, fun!! This is awesome though!!!

Benchmarks are cool!

I appear to have run 13 x 12:38 5ks in Sept/Oct 2013. Twice recording 3 in the same day. Bekele must have been really glad of his 12:37 world record not beaing breached.

Re Infinitely Configurable, it would be great if you could choose any random distance as a benchmark to access. I don't expect this is possible, but just in case it is somehow...

I would like an automatic plant watering system on the site for me getting, pls 😉

That's nonsense. It was supposed to say "I would like an automatic plant watering system on the site for my Fetchpoint, pls 😉"

Does the training summary benchmark update straightaway or is there a lag? I am confused that today's run is in the monthly summary but the benchmark info is unchanged - my fastest mile should now be better?

The question is, are flyback diodes necessary or sensible for the solenoids?

In my case, I'm not using a solenoid - I'm going with a submersible pump. Fewer holes drilled in buckets = fewer opportunities for me to flood the house

Be sure to tell me if it goes bang rather than gurgle.

Shared. Though my pace pie chart for yesterday doesn't appear to have worked it's all zone 0 and it definitely wasn't! 😀

Looks really good. Can the link be shared via WhatsApp? I'll try and find out....

great but why are the little cups at the top not in distance order? They look a bit random or is there something I'm missing?

Doc, they are in WAVA order, best first

It's really great, though if I was being fussy I'd ask for some WAVA information... as I get older I find that I'm much more interested in WAVA than actual times

Fetch, I just tweeted you. I didn’t get a graphic on my tweet, just a link. Is there an issue? Also I’d like my tweet to be metric not imperial, is that poss? Thanks muchly.

Tried to share but I don’t get the pretty graphic - just the link which asks people to login? Love it though - about to share my running exploits with actual people I know in real life for the first time in years!

Same here re pic glad it's not just me!

thanks CW

Regarding the lack of pictures for some of you... this is because your sharing settings are too restrictive to allow it. You need to go here: fetcheveryone.com/user-settings-visibility.php and under 'What can everyone see?', you need to choose either 'Everything' or 'Stats'. I've adjusted the monthly summary page now, so that it'll hide the sharing buttons if you don't have the relevant option set.

Regarding metric/imperial - the graphic should respect your site choice of units. It's possible that it's cached an older version of the graphic. On the monthly summary page, do a refresh and see whether that is showing the right units for you. That's a good starting point.

Drell - will see if I can fit in some WAVA info - it's a trade off between clarity and depth.

Doc - the trophy on the left is your 'best' performance based on an approximation of WAVA during that month.

Nice. Question - i did a 5km time trial on 12th July - 5km was programmed as a workout on my Garmin, so that's the exact length of the run of the workout uploaded to Fetch. Perhaps the conversion to miles (my unit of choice) has rounded down, as the fastest 5km given on the infographic for July is 3 mins slower

Like my info graphic 😀 however, as I am missing a time for one of my runs, but know the distance, it is clocking me at warp speed (well it would be for me currently!) on the info graphic for me run! 😀

Ace graphics, however....
I tried to share my biking infographic to Facebook this evening but it shared my running one instead. Please can we fix this before I’m embarrassed next month too!!
Fankee koindly.

Looks great. My bike tab only has the top part (I can see the ‘one’ part of Fetcheveryone as a guide to how much is chopped off)

I like it, thank you!

I'm not sure about this sorry. Surely anything that measures time in zones should be by HR? What if I'm unaware that I'm a little under the weather and go out thinking I'm at Z2 effort according to your pace zones whereas my HR is actually in Z3 or Z4. You know the science my friend so I've probably missed something somewhere in which case I apologise. It looks pretty by the way.

Not everyone will have a HR monitor and even if they do, they won't necessarily use it for every run As the pace zones can be configured by the individual they can be done in a way that would as useful to each individual as possible (which could be in line with general HR stats if that's what you want).

I suppose there could be a choice of which zones to use.

Agreed SPR but I still think they can be misleading. It would be nice to have the HR option is all.
