Good evening mate, how are you? Today is Pancake day. The weather has been quite mild over the last couple of days, right now it's 9*C and a little cloudy. My train was on time for the journey to work but 10 minutes late coming home. A first class stamp will set you back 46 pence.
So with it being Pancake day today it means that lent starts tomorrow. What will you be giving up? Maybe you could give up travelling around the world and leaving me alone?! I try to be a good Catholic and give something up every year, last year i gave up sugar in my tea. It was tough but i did it.. Jesus would be proud.
This year i plan to give up all take away food... that includes fish and chips, subway sandwiches, fast food etc... i'm also going to give up sugar in my tea again. What i am also going to try is giving up meat... yes you heard me right, i'm going to have a go at giving up meat. I doubt very much i'll last the whole 40 days but i will go meat free for one week at least.
Are you giving up anything? I'd love to know... in fact if anyone else who reads this is giving something up let me know. I will do my best to stick to my vows and keep you all up to date.
Take care buddy,
Yours,
Little Dave
Wow I forgot about the whole Lent thing, as you imagine its not the most interesting festival in my household, mainly cause I'm in no way religious, but more importantly, giving up anything else in the small subset of food that I do allow myself, and I'd be eating gravel for a month and a half... No sugar in tea? What you should try giving up is tea that's only palatable when its been doused in sugar! Try oolong!
