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!

Well done, Linds, parkrun age group champion!

I'm heading back to Iceland tomorrow. It's been a very busy and stressful 3 weeks. I'm not complaining, just tired.

But I'm also a bit glum because my cousin died. He is the kind of cousin I only ever saw at weddings and funerals but I'm still sorry about it. He was a couple of years older than me but was born with spina bifida. His birth partents could not cope for whatever reason so my mum's cousins fostered him and then adopted him. He did amazingly well, going through all sorts of major operations as a kid, but ended up a fairly healthy and mobile adult. He was married with three kids. He had a bad case of covid but had seemed to recover, then went down hill rapidly this week.

He was also my "first kiss". I was 5 and he was 7 at our other cousin's wedding. I honestly don't remembr but it is family legend. Poor kid. I probably hounded him all night in my "Flower girl" dress. I think I thought I was the bride.

Sorry to bring the side down on Saturday night but I just wanted to tell someone and didn't really know where else to take this. It's not "my" loss to post of facebook.

I’m so sorry ITG. It sounds like his was a life well lived - and that he recovered from your early passion!
