If you've been following the calendar challenges, or if you're a fan of our podcast, you'll know we are trying to put together a rendition of 'The Night Before Christmas'.
The idea is that each Fetchie records a line from the poem, and I'll stitch them all together and put them in our Christmas podcast (out on Monday, no pressure).
We have just about all the lines we need for a complete version of the podcast, BUT we also have 19 duplicates! The poem is 56 lines long, so we thought it might be good to do a second version of the poem. Katie and I *could* fill in the missing lines, but it'd be great to have some more Fetch contributions.
Here are the lines we need to build the second edition:
3) The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
4) In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
5) The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
7) And Mama in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
8) Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap-
9) When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
10) I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
11) Away to the window I flew like a flash,
13) The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
15) When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
16) But a minature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,
17) With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
18) I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
19) More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
20) And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
21) “Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen,
23) “To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
24) “Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
25) As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly,
27) So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
28) With the sleigh full of Toys - and St. Nicholas too:
31) As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
32) Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound:
33) He was dress’d all in fur, from his head to his foot,
34) And his clothes were all tarnish’d with ashes and soot;
35) A bundle of toys was flung on his back,
36) And he look’d like a peddler just opening his pack:
39) His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
40) And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
41) The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
43) He had a broad face, and a little round belly
44) That shook when he laugh’d, like a bowl full of jelly:
46) And I laugh’d when I saw him in spite of myself;
48) Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
49) He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
53) He sprung to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
54) And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:
If you've not already submitted a contribution, it'd be fab-u-lous if you could. To minimise any more duplicates, please:
1) check the comments to see which lines have already been bagged.
2) quickly leave a comment saying which line number you'll record.
3) check the comments again to make sure someone else didn't get in first.
4) using something like the built-in Voice Memos app on iPhone, or similar on Android:
4a) find somewhere vaguely quiet
4b) record your line, then after a pause of a few seconds...
4c) add a wee Christmas greeting e.g. "Merry Christmas from Zippy Bob"
5) forward your clip to podcast@fetcheveryone.com
Thank you Fetchies. Crossing my fingers

Oof. The rest you know.
On another note, I wanted to give you all a bit of notice about tomorrow's challenge. It's a selfie treasure hunt. The challenge will list ten items for you to find when you're out and about - and I've tried to make them all plausible whether you're in a city, town or village, and whether you're running, walking or biking. I think the requirement to take pictures probably rules out swimming, but feel free to prove me wrong.
Each time you find an item, you'll just need to upload a selfie to the gallery featuring you plus the item, and include the word 'TREASURE' in the title.
I thought some notice might be necessary, so that you have the chance to amend your running plans if you'd like to join in.
As well as seeing your pictures, I would love to read about your adventure, and if you'd like to record your highlights for the podcast, that'd be awesome. If this turns out to be fun, there's no reason why we can't have a treasure hunt more often. And if it's shit, well hey ho
Right, I'm off to listen to the dog breathe. It's a very relaxing sound and a reminder that life continues on a very troubling day.

For the origins of Fetch Independence Day, have a read of my blog from this time last year: fetcheveryone.com/blog/3/2018/12#blog387839
Thank you to everyone who has made a regular or one-off contribution to support the site. Things are going ok on that front. Across the internet, the money that comes from online ads has fallen, but in our case, the contributions from you lot have been solid throughout the year. They account for about 74% of our income. So with ads, some Fetch kit, and FERC memberships, we've done ok - and have every hope that we can continue onwards with confidence, enthusiasm and breathless optimism.
I made a list a few days back of the different categories of task that go into making the site happen. I'm always trying to think about how to use my week efficiently, because obviously there's a limit to how much I have. Here's the list (NB I'm not sharing it for pats on the back, but more because I think it'd be helpful to lay it out) in no particular order:
Bug Fixing
You can't write code without creating bugs. And no matter how much testing I do, there's nothing quite like letting a couple of thousand users play with it, to find the hidden issues.
New Features
I'm probably happiest when putting together new stuff. There's no sign of this going away - there are 467 feature requests here: fetcheveryone.com/featurevoting
Financials
From checking the bank a/c each day (to turn off the ads for any new subscribers), to maintaining a cashbook, and this year (with some hand-holding from Nana Gill), I did the company tax return.
Social Media & Promotion
Farcebook and Twitter are so everywhere these days, that it feels like a necessary evil to push out stuff relating to the site, to bring people in. I'm partial to the occasional tweetfest though. covfefe
On top of that, there's thinking about ways to get the site out there, without a budget to do so. Weekly(ish) newsletters are also part of this, as is... Podcast
An hour each Monday to record this, then Katie does the editing, before I add in the jingles, adjust the sound levels, upload it and publicise it.
Mobile Optimisation
Back in 2004, phones were still just for texting. But now, the site has to look sharp on screens of all different sizes. It's part of any new development, and I still find existing pages that look like a dogs dinner on a small screen.
Apps
Oh yeah. I'm currently working on the Android one - it'll just be a simple GPS to begin with, but I'd like to get both Android and Apple doing more for us.
Performance Optimisation
If you've been around a while, you'll have seen times where the site has been very sluggish. Since our server upgrade earlier this year, it's been working like a charm, but I monitor slow pages, and make background changes to the code and database to speed things up.
Security and Spam
I also have to constantly monitor logs and review code for holes. Recently, I've been fighting against automatic sign-up bots that want to post links to dodgy stuff all over the internet. Traps and rats, and all that.
Google Analytics
I spend some of my time looking at site stats - basically stuff like which pages are popular, and which are on the slide. It's also useful because it tells me stuff like most popular screen sizes, and what proportion of you are viewing the site on mobile.
Bespoke Advertising
As well as the Google ads on site for non subscribers, every once in a while (never more than twice in a month), you'll get an email from Fetch (if you've allowed it), advertising a race. They bring in a bit of money to the site - so I spend some of my time trying to arrange these, and then designing and coding them.
Articles
Every now and then I get a bit of an idea for a bit of research using the Fetch database. So I spend a bit of time looking at big data sets, and trying to formulate it all into a readable article. The marathon predictor is my favourite.
Photoshop
Poking images around to accompany new features; and sometimes using it as a way to design new pages - although I mostly do the latter on the backs of envelopes
By the way, that *is* Katie in the Vader costume, but I stretched her x-axis, because she was looking like a proper runty Vader Competitions
Mainly the Christmas calendar - but there are occasional smaller comps throughout the year. I started trying to collect this year's prizes in August, after one company told me that they plan that far ahead. It then took them until November to confirm that they didn't want to supply a prize, lol.
FERC
We have about 200 members now. This is mostly a new year, spring, and November job, the latter being all about our VLM draw.
Connectivity
This year, I've added Polar and Suunto to our automated import options. Next in my sights is Apple. Never $trava though. They refused me access to their API, saying that Fetch (est 2004) was a duplicate of $trava (est 2013). Hmmm.
Interacting with you lot
Another one of my favourite bits
I'm more of a forumite than a blog reader (I think I follow a couple of hundred threads of varying levels of activity); but I also get fmails and feedback messages - as well as people responding to emails we've sent, and contacting me on social media. Fetch Store
Preorders, design, packaging, and lugging stuff to the post office. I've found a really decent post office now - they don't need me to stand around whilst they print all the labels.
Race Guide
Kicking out the automated listing scraping companies earlier this year felt like a groundbreaking moment. You lot are brilliant at adding listings - and I also have a big list of event organisers that I speak to, and do what I can to help them get their stuff listed. The email we send out is surprisingly popular.
Learning
Another awesome part of my week is the time spent finding out how to do new stuff - like when we switched map providers, or (currently) reading up on Android apps. Sometimes it's maths stuff - like making the WSW grid the same size no matter where you are in the world, or finding unbiased methods to rank new feature requests.
Meta
I don't know what to call the rest of my time, but there's definitely some time when I'm not doing any of the above, but still looking at the site. Not interacting, not reading, just moving from one page to another. Sometimes its good, sometimes I have to break out of it by having a Kit Kat or going to find Katie
---
One thing we've wondered about is whether Katie can get more involved in the site. Not coding - I don't think she'd fancy that, and I'm too precious about it anyway. But her doing some of the other stuff would free me up, and also give her an alternative to the physical demands of being a physio. We're not really at a point where the site could support us both financially to focus on it either, but it's something we've spoken about working towards, bit by bit.
In case you're expecting the sucker punch, I'm *not* going to end this by pointing you at a donation page - because today we're just celebrating the fact that we're here. And most of you reading this probably already support the site anyway. It's my birthday on the weekend, but Fetch Independence Day feels like a more powerful day. We are lucky to be here, and it's all down to you. Thank you, lovely Fetchies. Fetch Everyone.

In addition to all that that you do for us, I sincerely hope that you have a) enough free / family time and b) enough money to access things in that free time (plus save for boring things like pensions etc). If your devotion to the site / the community / us ever gets in the way of those sorts of things, you will promise to let us know won't you?larkim12:05pm, 12th Dec 2019

Just to give you a bit of thinking time, Thursday is Fetch Independence Day. If you want to know what it's all about, have a read of my blog from last year - it pretty much sums it up: fetcheveryone.com/blog/3/2018/12#blog387839
Anyway... every year we do a daft picture, recreating (with a good dose of leeway) one of our favourite movie scenes. We'd love it if you'd get involved and post a pic on the day, and you'll get extra tickets in the hat for a very special prize that will go down a treat with all serious runners such as yourselves.
We've stuck pretty closely to Star Wars - here's what we did in 2018 and 2017:
2018
2017
And here are some of my favourites from last year...
Valyrian Plastic as Harold Lloyd
Jigs and Mrs Jigs as Leon and Matilda
McGoohan does pretty much anyone from Alien (I think)
DocMoye gets Brassed Off
Thanks, Fetchies

If you're purchasing anything on Amazon, it helps us a little bit if you use the Amazon link in the footer. They didn't like it when I used their generic Amazon link, hence I've just picked a Fitbit at random.
The commission is a few percent better if I can publish links to specific products, because (I guess) in Amazon's eyes, I am helping people find their way to those products. Ooh, gosh, does that make me an influencer? I really hope not
In a blatant and honest attempt to harvest some Amazon commission, I'd like to put together a page with links to all the most popular GPS watches. And it might even prove useful, if it could allow people to ask questions about features, or provide reviews, pitfalls etc.
So if you wouldn't mind, please could you leave a comment stating the make and model of GPS watch (if you have one), and perhaps the one you've got your eye on. I'll use this info to make a starter page, listing the most popular ones.
Thanks

I plan to upgrade my Forerunner 235 to a 245 next year; the 235 was launched in the Autumn of 2015, I got mine in Feb 2017. The 245 replaced it this Spring.Sigh
For true impartiality, maybe include your link to it on Wiggle as well? The 245 has two main options, with or without Music.
245 without music at Wiggle (RRP £250, currently £220): wiggle.co.uk
same at Amazon is £210 + shipping - not actually sold by Amazon but by "BASEo Romford" amazon.co.uk
245 with music at Wiggle (RRP £300, currently £270): wiggle.co.uk
same at Amazon is dispatched from a US-based seller at is a whopping £558.51 + £13.36 Shipping amazon.co.uk12:50pm, 7th Dec 2019 -

I imagine that with a few data analysis algorithms, you could do quite well at showing targeted relevant links.DW
E.g. if someone only logs running using an old device, maybe promote the Garmin FR245, and then if they start logging some bike rides using the same watch you could begin showing them links to the Garmin Edge series bike devices.
If someone starts logging runs, rides and swims (and especially if they’re logging brick sessions) on an old device like the Garmin FR235, start showing them links to the Garmin 945 and Fenix series, etc.
If someone logs cycling in spring, summer, autumn and then none in the winter, maybe show them some smart connected turbo-trainers.2:01pm, 7th Dec 2019 -

Garmin Forerunner 935. I "upgraded" from a 920XT because I wanted optical HR. The 935 optical HR is hit and miss on me and must be due to a thin wrist as it works well on almost everyone else. And so, Santa, I've been very good and I'd like a 945 with the updated HR to see if works on me. But, Garmin already have more of my money than I'd like and so that's not going to happen unless someone wants a cared for 935 and/or 920XT for Christmas at a fair price. Not that I'm advertising but they still have boxes for the authentic present like appearance. There are also two 305s in the watch biscuit tin that could do with going to good homes. Perhaps then the 945 could be mine to discover that my wrist is too thin for that too. The multi-sport functions on the 935 and 920 are excellent; particularly for those of us who can't count swimming strokes and lengths at the same time.ZenTaoPlurp2:22pm, 7th Dec 2019

It won't sync with my Android Blackberry, so I have to keep an old iPhone around for syncing it.
I might be tempted by a Garmin 45 in the near future, or a 245 if the price gets below £150.5:28pm, 8th Dec 2019 -
I still have a Garmin Forerunner 220 which I've been using since 2015 when my old 205 died in the rain. It doesn't have a built in HRM and records everything as a run (no cycle or swim modes). However, it does what I need it to.WildeRover
It keeps a good accurate record of distance (at least it beeps a mile at the same point as everyone else's GPS), keeps a record of the time, and will display the basics of what that means.
It will do more than that, but most of that to me is "play stuff". How far and how fast is what counts - and my old 220 still does that.8:47am, 9th Dec 2019 -

Garmin Vivoactive 3 here - great all day watch, but works well for runners too (as that is my first requirement!) And you can do contactless payments with it!HappyG(rrr)
You can/should do same with trainers, jackets all the other kit. They're mostly on Amazon as well as in your local running shop. We tried to do shoe and kit reviews before but it always fell off a bit. But if you promoted it for the Amazon links it would probably go better. G11:47am, 9th Dec 2019 -

Is it worth bumping this? I was looking for it and took me ages to find the GPS page via this blog. I reckon there are some new models which have come out in the last 6 monthsNDWDave5:27pm, 4th Jul 2020
NB The listed stock is up to date, as of 7.40am on December 11th
A few people have been asking recently where the Fetch Shop has gone. The answer is that because I tend to buy kit in batches, most of which has been pre-ordered, I try to end up with as little spare stock as possible. And therefore a permanent Fetch Shop would be a bit understocked. But I would be delighted to sell any of our remaining items to help clear our cupboard.
The following is *everything* we have left. If you would like something, leave a comment (or send me a feedback if it's a surprise) saying what you want. I will drop you an fmail explaining how to pay (bank transfer or Paypal) and asking for your delivery address. I will also keep this list up-to-date if any items get sold.
NB Some of our batches have labelled the ladies stuff with letters, other batches use the numbering system. Soz.
