Yes, it’s almost that time of year again, and those that know me, know that since 2010, I’ve been using the Lent period to deny myself all the food and drink that I enjoy. I try to add a few items each year to make the experience even tougher, but it’s getting to the stage where there’s not much left to add… well, ‘maybe’!
I don’t do this for any particular religious reason, but more for an opportunity to lose a bit of weight and test my will-power. The 26 items on the list for 2014 are the food and drink that I love, so it’ll be interesting to see if I can get through the period until April 17th.
Last year was really tough (even with fewer items), and, for the first time since I started to take it seriously in 2010, I nearly succumbed.
If we run into each other, try to steer me away from temptation!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
