So when does Lent finish and can I eat chocolate now?

Lent is over! depending on your tradition, it either finished on the Friday before Palm Sunday (ie. last Friday) OR Maundy Thursday (yesterday)

in any case - you could have eaten chocolate on Sundays as Lent does not include the Sundays...

This is being said a lot. Fck knows when the idea started. We have a country full of weak willed buggers these days. I blame comprehensive education .... oh, & the human rights act .... & the unions.

... & GtE, it's on Easter Sunday. Don't let this heathen turn you. Stay strong.

lent has never included the sundays in the Western Church (catholic or protestant). it is pretty much only the Eastern Orthodox who count the Sundays...

Good stuff.

Rediscovered a bit of magic myself at Hoylake today.

I wish I wasn't shiiiiit at golf. On the odd summers day when it all went right, it was such a good game; jealous of the pair of you, Crayons and Brucie.

I got invited to play the local muni with some blokes out of the Pub, but couldn't make it because I was working.

So my day was nearly like yours!

Looks superb Brucie. Enjoy.

Jealous of both of you. Not picked up my clubs for a couple of years now due to time restrictions and the financial pressure of being in my 5th year being a student. Hopefully when I start work and get a few quid I'll be able to play a bit again. Only problem is the lack of time will get worse!

Hope you didn't find the water too much! Still it must have been a special experience.

Not taking much to make me happy this morning. A new visitor to our garden bird feeder, an adult male Bullfinch:

I reported one in our garden (on here) not long back. Gorgeous little birds.

We have one too. Looks a bit pinker than that, but beautiful.

Very nervy things though. One budge & they're off.

In fact we have a load of brightly plumed birds at the moment. It's nice to see.

I snapped the female version last week up in Rotherham...

Where is my bloody bullfinch.

I am just in the process of replacing the roof of my bird table so I want, neigh demand, a bullfinch in my garden.

Eventually getting home (with a chest infection and an $80.00 bottle of whisky. See you tomorrow )
