Mazlin Mar 2021 8:32pm, 14 Mar 2021 9,919 posts	0 Mazlin I did a placement at Frimley Park Hospital when I was a student and every so often a siren would go off and someone would say 'it's OK, they're just testing the alarm for if there's an escape from Broadmoor.' Think I have mastered skip knots (not kidding, I had to replay the instruction video about 20 times.) Not mastered 'tension'.

Sharkie Mar 2021 8:41pm, 14 Mar 2021 17,622 posts	0 Sharkie I thought Lent was 40 days but in my diary that only takes us to Palm Sunday. So 46 days to Easter Saturday. ANYWAY what I wanted to say is that we are half way through and there is no flagging. Which is GREAT. the lot of you. There's been such a brilliant selection of Newts this year - some even to do with running! More fab stuff this weekend: V-rap's jumper, .B.'s Yewt word, Hanneke's tutoring, Sarah's Mother's Day first, various cooking and clearing and noticing.

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.
