Before I left Sam was joking that I'd never need the whole hour that I had been allocated (non essential shops are still by appointment only, and in this case all appointment windows are one hour, in some you're only allowed 20 minutes), not somehow I lost 52 minutes in there! Just the novelty of not being at home, I suppose. I picked up newt plants for the craftoriffice, bathroom, and living/dining room, and a birthday present for my step-mother-in-law (this time last year we said 'we'll skip this year and do something together next year' ...) - a pair of cheerful cotton blankets the she and her best friend can use if it's a bit chilly when they're having a cup of tea together in the garden. Now we need to get them wrapped and in the post pdq so they have a chance of getting there in time. Just heard that the last materials for the new garden path will be here in about half an hour also.

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.
