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!

And another Newt CD in the player, it was next to the previous one, also in cellophane still. They are part of a Naxos 5 cds for £20 offer...
Going to see if there are more in other boxes.
This is a re-mastering of Pablo Casals playing Dvoraks Cello concerto and Brahms double concerto for violin and cello.

Got a proper letter in the post today from the friend that I wrote to at the beginning of the month. It's lovely to receive letters - I shall write to another friend this weekend. When I was a youngster I wrote loads of letters and got at least one a week. It's one thing I miss and will do my best to reinstate this year.

It is lovely to get letters isn’t it! A lady from our running club wrote me a really chatty letter back early April last year when we were in lockdown! It really lifts the spirits getting a proper letter!

I spent part of yesterday going through my training log from 2016 and 2017. Those were the years I set all my PBs and was most consistent. It reminded me that a favourite long run was to run to parkrun (about 7 miles) run the parkrun fairly hard and then run home again.

So I tried to replicate that on my long run today with 6 faster ks in the middle of an 18 mile run. Why 6? I can’t count!

So the Newt for me is a (not)parkrun sandwich!

Re the counting thing, it’s worrying as I’m an accountant by trade... Mrs a always maintains I’m rubbish at numbers unless there’s an m at the end!

I saw a clump of miniature daffodils in our front garden this morning that I am sure I have never seen before in all the time we have lived here. I asked BaronBR about them and he claimed to not know of their existence either. Thank goodness we didn't move a few weeks ago as was first anticipated or I might never have known.....rather worrying that as neither of us planted them they must have just grown unnoticed for 8 years though!

Newt today was going walking instead of running with my friend as she forgot her shoes! It was still nice though and we walked pretty fast

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
