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!

Temperature here crawled above zero, helped by sunshine. Still a lot of ice on the lake, though. Off to That London tomorrow, to visit Eldest Son, Daughter-in-law and two grandsons.

Thank you. Not driving. Bus to Hereford, then two trains, one Underground train and a further train.

Big hugs to you @Sombrero , dementia is a vile condition. xx

I did my jeffing run. At what point should I stop jeffing, I wonder? Or maybe I don't stop...

If jeffing works and keeps you running, why stop?

I thought the whole point if jeffing was unless you are aiming for a time, just keep at it.

Hi gonks.

Thank you for your kind words, they do mean a lot. We had a better visit today - was still tough but dad was happier and less crazy. I had a nice run before we visited, an hour along the seaside.

A good journey home and a Chinese tonight.

Jeffing works well for so many, why not keep doing what you enjoy? :-)
