Clearly it's been over forty days since the start of Lent: what I didn't realise is that Sundays don't count. Tits! I could have had Sundays off, gone to bed early and spent more time lying awake and listening to my upstairs neighbour burrowing into the floor with a rusty spoon.
What I also didn't realise until just now is that the end of Lent depends on which side of the Church you bat for. Christians like to stick it out until Holy Saturday (which is THIS SATURDAY, so I hope you all have your holy stuff in ready for that). Roman Catholics, though, pack it in on Maundy Thursday, which is today.
Today!
Of course, in this family we are all strict Roman Catholic cardinals, as you know.
So I've decided to stop my daily posting today, because I'm acutely aware of the old quality/quantity factor, and I'm amazed there's anyone left still reading this drivel after I've been exhaustedly coughing it out for six weeks. Oh but we laughed, didn't we? We laughed, and we named that tune, and we learned about why wanking is bad.So that's that, and it's time for Easter, and I hope you all have a splendid time. We get a four-day weekend here, and I expect Ian will spend all of it in his dressing-gown, waiting for his nuts to dry in their own sweet hairy time.
Sorry, yes, that probably was too much information.

I have really enjoyed following your post in the lead up to Easter. You provided me with loads of laughs and that last photo didn't disappoint.
Well done!
for maximum nut aeration, i recommend the helicoptering of thine junk
Wait, wanking is bad? Oh shit!
But only if you do it to yourself, right?
You make a fetching Cardinal Fang.
I've enjoyed the Lenten ride.
I think it's only called abuse when you do it to yourself.
Do you want a bag of worms? I've got some round the back.
At least they'll be sort of covered...which is better than not...I think?
This has been my best Lent ever, reading your blog every bloomin' day.
And though I was raised Catholic (shudder), I never learned the bit about Sundays not counting until I went to public school. I can picture the nuns eating chocolate & cursing all day long on Sundays.
I will miss the daily postings. Thanks for sticking with it!
been a sort of lent in reverse for us.
Well, don't take the Lenten season being over as an excuse to NEVER post... Quantity has produced quality these past six weeks, in my opinion. :)
Awwww! I was fearing that this day would come eventually. I will miss your daily postings. I loved every single one, and I would totally be ok with you posting every day for the rest of your life. I suppose you could take Sundays off, if you wished. In any case, though, thank you for taking on this Lenten project, on which you get an A+++++.
You made Lent fun. Thanks for all of the posts!
please don't go...
(sniffle)
That was a rip. Thanks.
I'm going to miss your posts~
I love your daily Lenten posts! Thanks for hanging in there. I've done NaBloPoMo three times, so I know the drudgery. But your audience never felt it, only delight.
Congratulations on finishing your lent chore. Hope you all have a happy Easter.
I'll miss your daily posts, and I'll also miss all the comments they generate. You have some frightfully clever followers. I hope that some day, when I've had way more (or way less?) sleep I'll be half as clever. And, sadly, the particular brand of U.S. Anglicanism that I subscribe to doesn't seem to be done with Lent until the first "alleluia" of Easter morning. Still have hours and hours to go.
You have no idea how important your blog has been to me these past several weeks. I hope you realize how uplifting your writings truly are. Thank you.
Please continue when you can.
If you ever need anything from the Deep South . . . just holler.
You're not going to post every day anymore?
Oh, poo.
Alack! Alas! Thy continual postings of interwhatsis wisdom and wisdon and wisdame have been muchly appreciated on this end.
It is with sadness that I anticipate the end of the Lenten period.
