So when does Lent finish and can I eat chocolate now?
Re: Today I'm happy about......
Lent is over! depending on your tradition, it either finished on the Friday before Palm Sunday (ie. last Friday) OR Maundy Thursday (yesterday)Gary the Enfield wrote:So when does Lent finish and can I eat chocolate now?
in any case - you could have eaten chocolate on Sundays as Lent does not include the Sundays...

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...bobo the clown wrote:This is being said a lot.

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.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
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!mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:Good stuff.Bruce Rioja wrote:Have just played The Champions Retreat in Augusta Have a peep Real once-in-a-lifetime stuff.

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

We have one too. Looks a bit pinker than that, but beautiful.TANGODANCER wrote:clapton is god wrote:Not taking much to make me happy this morning. A new visitor to our garden bird feeder, an adult male Bullfinch:

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.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
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.
