Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent and, as is traditional, I decided to abstain from something..... At lunchtime I didnt have a pudding!
Someone asked why not. I said "I am giving it up for Ash Wednesday"
"Giving it up for Lent"
"For the Whole of lent?? Are you mad! I'm giving it up for Ash Wednasday and that'll do me!"

Yesterday was Pancake Day... Did I mention it? I had this lovely reply form Kiki2u when i asked if there was a Pancake day in Portugal. I had to blog it (Hope you don't mind Kiki) because it made me laugh so much
