Had a (socially distanced) visit from D and GD today, bearing gifts for St. Valentine's Day. We sat on the back patio in the sun for half an hour and chatted until we got a bit chilled. Have already got into the Truffles, the wine will be next and the foil container holds a chocolate brownie which will be my dessert tonight. All good stuff - they really know my faves!
I just realized that Lent is coming up and I will have to finish the wine (and all the other liquor in the house) as well as the chocolate before then as I usually give up both booze and chocolate for Lent. I may be a bit late in starting this year! I do this just to make sure I am not becoming addicted to either of them so no point in keeping temptation around. Wish me luck!
What a lovely treat - enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to sit outside with them, even with the minus temperatures.
DeleteHow lovely. Not giving anything up til after the pandemic is over. Just a pagan.
ReplyDeleteRemains to be seen how long I last. Usually I can do it by distracting myself with other things. Not this year!
DeleteWhat a lovely thoughtful gift. Enjoy! X
ReplyDeleteI was just one of several they were visiting to drop off treats.
DeleteHow thoughtful. Enjoy your lovely gifts and don't worry about Lent! Life is too short x
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see them and have someone to talk to. I am getting used to talking to myself.
DeleteWhat thoughtful gifts for you. My ladies bible group will be deciding Wednesday morning what we are doing for Lent as a group. So far our thoughts are running to adding a daily routine rather than giving up - our leader felt given the situation we didn't need more negatives. Good luck with the wine & chocolate. That sunshine has been delightful.
ReplyDeleteMade a dent in the chocolate - should have it all eaten by the end of the week. Then no more until Easter!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your treat.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
