Yum - It's Pancake Day, Today

I have always "celebrated" Pancake Day ... even though I don't keep Lent, like many people do.  So I get the benefits of yum, without then giving something up for 40 days!  I call that a winning plan - thanks Mum & Dad.  Mum was brought up in the same way, so that's one tradition worth keeping!!!!!

Yesterday I didn't turn on the pc before work as I decided I wouldn't be side-tracked.  Instaed I did some housework ... things like cleaning the stairs, scrubbing my kitchen floor, etc.  So a busy morning, that I could step back from, and feel positive about the day.

Work was totally odd.  It seemed to be an super-busy hour, then about quarter of an hour of near-silence ... then start again.  Very odd.

I have done some shopping already this morning.  My brother moans about my local supermarket as it's one of the 2 cheepo ones ... but at present, every time you buy something then you can pick up a free cake/doughnut/etc at the next shop.  So, more yum ... overall it's a yummy week!!

Well, I am behind with you, and with icons, so ..

That was one of the jobs I also did yesterday! My washing machine is in my kitchen.

17. Chinese New Year begins today, and festivities continue until March 3rd – the year of the Fire Horse. What animal are you born under in Chinese astrology?
