    No pancakes today,  might have some tomorrow.  I just really fancied fish and chips.  We hardly ever have them.
    Hi from Kingswinford in the West Midlands

    Evening

    We had pancakes for tea. Oh I do enjoy them, with a selection of toppings.

    Lovely day here again today. Had about 30 mins in the garden after work. I really hope this weather lasts a decent amount of time. It's so lovely getting outdoors and the days are getting slightly longer too.

    Evening

    Chive, I do not work in a School. I work in a Bank. I dont mind you asking at all. Yes it is lovely having the fair weather, especially after all the snow and Easterly Winds we had last week. 

    Rubee, I only realised last night that it was Pancake Day today. It is quite a celebration in our town, kids get the afternoon off school to go skipping, at lunchtime there are pancake races in the town centre and there are many more festivities. We have a bit of a build up from about the week before on local radio so it's always on my mind. This year it has all been cancelled so it just slipped my mind. 

    Good night to you all
