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!

Eureka! Look what I figured out

*jumps out of bath*

I swam on Friday, and it was super-busy. I managed to pause my watch because I clattered the ropes a couple of times, trying to stay out of people's way.

Today I was sharing a lane, but because I was going clockwise, my watch was never near the rope. So next time I'm in an anti-clockwise loop, I shall just wear my watch on the other wrist :-)

Donโ€™t forget to tell your watch which wrist you have it on. On some devices it a difference:)

I read somewhere if you turn your tinned food upside down in your cupboard when it comes to opening them the whole contents come out in one go.
No shaking the tin or scraping out.
Tried it first didn't work but that was after half hour or so. Some days later tried again wow

Today's revelation...not exactly a Eureka! but something I did not know (or notice) before today...

When you see a double rainbow, the colours in the second rainbow are reversed.

Here's a baking related one I figured out today while sieving flour and later icing sugar. I always used to sieve flour by bumping the sieve against my free hand. I tried it by just shaking the sieve side to side and the flour came through twice as fast and with far fewer little lumps to push through at the end.

My theory on ease of peeling hard boiled eggs - if the membrane between the shell and white is intact and dry inside, they are hard to peel. If you take a piece of shell off, tear the membrane and wet the egg a little, the shell comes of easily.
