40 days and 40 nights

Lent has begun. And I didn't even get any pancakes yet.

The Christian celebration of Lent marks Jesus' 40 days in the desert being tempted by Satan. It is a time when we do a number of things, give something up, take something up and spend the time you would have spent on the thing you gave up with God. Ok, everyone does it differently but this is the general idea.

Truth be told I know I should give up TV but I've just started season 1 of The Wire.

Today's Happiness: making 2 new friends on the train.

I'm just finishing series 1 of The Wire - so you're not the only person who's so far behind!

Pretty brilliant series though.

Absolutely! My friends have been trying to get me into West Wing but having got half way through season 2 I ditched it for The Wire. Even the theme tune is awesome. I could just leave the DVD menu looping away and be happy :)

Yeah, the theme is amazing. I always sing along to it and do a little dance...
