Ash Wednesday

Feeling dreadfully guilty. After eating an enormous lunch of curried mango chicken and lemony rocket salad, I woolfed down a chocolate mousse that I found the in the fridge. I could have reached out towards the low-fat apricot yogurt, but no. This is a tiny bit alarming because I've always been proud of the fact that I'm not a pudding person, but I put it down to missing breakfast or maybe a latent thyroid condition. I kid you not! This is the age of thyroid and adult onset diabetes, and weakened bones. But the point is: Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Today is the day when you're supposed to give something up not take up eating chocolate mousse for lunch. Today should have been a day of fasting and reflection. But instead, as luck would have it, it's become a day of being a big porcine snorter.
