He moves in mysterious ways ....

Those of you who are familiar with the BCSFH, really the only fly in the ointment here where I work, may smile with me when I tell you that she's accompanying the management team to their conference to a sunny island off the coast of the US ... and the airline chose her luggage to lose ...

Sorry, I can't say any more, I'm laughing too much!

What are you giving up for Lent?

Every year I give up something for Lent, with varying degrees of success. This year (as for the last few) I am giving up alcohol, crisps and I was going to give up chocolate, but there were some Mingles left over from Christmas that needed to be finished up, so .... just alcohol and crisps.

Oh, and left-overs from company lunches. We have really good caterers who deliver sandwiches, crisps, fruit and muffins for business lunches. They are very generous and there are invariably a few sandwiches left over. I can't bear waste, so I generally eat them or take them home to have later. It's going to be very, very hard to ignore the lovely tortilla wraps and fresh bread sandwiches with their yummy fillings, but I must stay strong! It's only for 40 days, after all ...
