A couple of days ago, a former pupil asked on our village FB page for volunteers to have their photo taken outside their house as part of her uni assignment; as I know her, I offered. I wasn't sure what time she would be arriving, just knew it was Saturday afternoon. I went for my run at noon. #1 - fake parkrun SB. Even faster than the other day. My fastest 5k since May 2017 #2 - fake parkrun and I ran it all for the first time this year Photographer was waiting when I got home so I asked if she would come back in a bit when I'd had a shower #3 - because I needed to cool down quickly, I had a COLD shower for the first time (not ever, but the first time in winter!) #4 - I've been a photography student's model And an unrelated one #5 - I've logged all my yarn stash on Ravelry so I know what I've got and can plan my knitting and crocheting projects That'll do for today

It was none of his business so I didn't tell him I'd considered it too. I went to school with lots of Elaines. The one who sticks in my mind was a nice gentle quiet girl whose large family must have been "working poor" (two parents and six children in a three bedroomed council flat) and whose USP was perfect attendance at school every year.

Wasn’t at all scary!

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
