I lent my missus £100 on Thursday.

Got it back again two days later though. Does that count?

Tell you what I will do to enter into the spirit of it. I will avoid meat for the whole 40 days.






I am a vegetarian anyway, but you don't need to know that.

Thinking I will say yes to anything people ask me to do and coming off all social media including sky blues talk
Want to do a mixture of doing something and stopping something

Ask him on Monday. That's if you can get anywhere near the directors' box

Okay

Sure you do it anyway, but maybe buying a couple of sausages rolls or a sandwich, or coffee, for any homeless person you see on the street

And just stop going on the political threads for a while. They are wholly depressing and no-one seems to budge Thier position the slightest inch, so it can all get a bit roundabouty

I'm a big fan of Lent, for spiritual reasons.
I am a Catholic, for context.

Many, many years ago, during our Knights of Columbus meeting, with discussion on the topic I embraced the fasting to an extent.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday I will not eat at all. Otherwise, everyday (but Sunday as that's a day of celebration and Mass) I will limit myself to only an evening meal. Some years are easier, others a bit more exhausting, but nevertheless fulfilling. Alongside the daily Rosary, fasting is indeed an eye opening and spiritual endeavor that I would recommend for anyone able and willing.
