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!

Silver Lining!

I might finally get through all the veg from my veg box. I have time and incentive to plan meals around what’s in the fridge already.

We have two out of three sons back home. One is now saving fuel and one is terminating an expensive flat rental in Cardiff. It's comforting to have them around at this time

Live streaming of gigs! I've 'been' to 3 this week. Donated to their pages too.

Saving fuel is a bonus. Walking on the beach early. I also have time to cook proper meals.

Life for me has been 100mph for years, esp weekends. I’m enjoying not being maxed out from the moment of waking to sleep.

Example is I have 4/5 little DIY jobs. Normal mode would be to crash through them in one hit, as fast as possible, to keep the rest of my time open.

Not now, did a couple yesterday at leisurely pace, another today planned. Maybe leave the rest till next w/e.

May struggle to get back the intensity when this is over! Also feels like a glimpse into retirement in 6-8 years!

I’ve been cooking more and wasting less food, not that I didn’t try not to waste food before. I got the juicer and bread maker out of the cupboard. It kind of feels like when I was at home with kids when they were small, only without the cleaning up shit and reading bedtime stories.
Unfortunately I still don’t like cooking very much.

Oh and my patio is nearly finished so we can enjoy it over the next few months. It was pretty manky before but will be lovely.
I have plenty of time to garden, my garden has been neglected these last few years.
I bought clay so can spend time making pottery :)

Well done for finishing the patio DrP!

TRO I'm the same, slowing down is hard, I fill my life with so much, work, volunteering, sport... But I think I could get used to it 😂 I've regressed back to playing with yarn, something past me used to really enjoy... Another silver lining!
