Lent

[elster]

Well with Lent almost upon us, will anyone be giving anything up?

I may not be religious, but I will be partaking and giving up red meat and cheese.

This is a major thing for me, as it is the main part of my life.

I am religeous, however I'm giving up the booze....mainly becuase I now drink a bottle of red wine to myself and think ..... mmmm anymore...

Time for a break me thinks

I'm not giving anything up but I am going to try and do some form of exercise on each of the next 40 days.

So I spose I'm giving up being a fat bd...

Not giving anything up as such, but will be easing up my alkohol consumption. More exercise, healthier diet options are the way forward for me.

No. It means it's Shrove Tuesday.


Edited to add - Apologies. I have just looked on Wikipedia and found this:

Wikipedia said:

Among Anglicans, Lutherans, some other Protestant denominations, including ethnic British communities in Canada, as well a few Catholics, this day is also known as Pancake Tuesday, as it is customary to eat pancakes
