It’s Shrove Tuesday already so I’ll be making pancakes tonight while we watch NZ play England at 20/20 cricket on the TV. Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, is also Waitangi Day here in NZ so all six of us will be off work and school for the day.

Over the years I’ve done various different things for the season of Lent (see here). This year I haven’t really got anything planned beyond a simple Bible reading plan and sending off for the (free) MDG praying cards from The Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church. With all the changes coming up in the next month or so, keeping it simple is preferable.
