Yesterday was Ash Wednesday.
I had to stay late an hour to work on a Powerpoint presentation (which has been fussed over so much over the last few days that I am now sick of people coming to me with amendments). Therefore I was not able to go to the Ash Wednesday evening service. I passed the church on my way home, lots of cars outside and the lights on, and I felt concerned that I was not there.
So now we are in Lent.
It is a time of year when I feel safe.
But paradoxically today is also St Valentine's Day - flowers could be allowed but surely not chocolates.
Asda have devoted their latest in-store magazine to the ritual day. Do C2 shoppers have an affinity with the third-century Anglican saint and martyr? Obviously Asda thinks it can make money out of it (and they are no fools).
Lunchtime in Costa. I think they put the hearts on all the time, not just for today. And I have only just realised we were drinking hot chocolate, so I've failed at the first hurdle.
