So, tomorrow Lent begins and in the company of many other wonderful people I start my annual giving up of stuff. This year (just for a change, sigh) it will be chocolate, alcohol, other random sweet stuff (biscuits, crisps, cakes etc), plus Minesweeper and Freecell (my friend thought it was hilarious I was giving those two up, but she did admit that like me she finds Minesweeper great when you're in the middle of an essay or somesuch and can't quite get the words out that you want - it lets you concentrate on the screen without having to concentrate, if you see what I mean, and very often it results in a lightbulb moment of inspiration). I have today already had a teensy (*cough*) bit of chocolate, and when I come home from tonight's housegroup pancake evening I will have to finish off the half bottle of wine which looks at me when I walk into the kitchen, as despite the handy vacuum device which keeps it fresh I suspect it will be a bit manky by Easter Sunday, and it's too nice to tip away. I think I'd better give the scales a miss for a few days.
Hmmm. I'm really getting into this Lent spirit then. I'm such a great Christian (more sighs).
