What did you give up for Lent?

Postby boxerscott » Sun Apr 16, 2017 10:38 am

Happy Easter Trixters!

I gave up been faddy with my Bike. It now has a luxurious coating of everyday shxte that occurs in Boxerscotts garage from sawdust, tile dust, gypsum and after my scorched earth policy on the grass this week, ferrous sulphate crystals. :shock:

I celebrated this festival with a Pilgrimage from Holy island to Kirk Yetholm last Saturday doing 1/2 of St Cuthberts Way. The plan was to do the other half on Sunday. The ale in the Border Hotel at Kirk Yetholm did it`s best to relax me for the next days challenge, however, on awakening at 5.30am. I bottled it. :(

Another fail.


Wish I could upload the smart phone photies I took trekking over the Lost Kingdom. The glider pilots were out playing, spring lambs, Rape seed in blossom, Roman forts, blue skies, sunshine. Northumberland= Glorious. Englands best kept secret.

I've given up worrying about my upcoming solo trip across France to Spain on my ST. If it breaks down....it breaks down! :lol: I've also given up putting things in the topbox that 'might come in handy on the trip'. :D

I gave up chocolate, in support of Memsahib, who's working early on the Beach Bod.

Have utterly pigged it today and now I feel sick :roll: .

What's Lent - I understand borrow, but stopped doing that when other people forget to return my spanners.

I gave up driving! Due to being stopped doing 145kph in an 80 zone, here in New Zealand that's an instant roadside ban of 28 days :(

I've given up chocolate, biscuits and cakes for six months, not because of Lent but because I've got bad fat blood. I've been put on cholesterol tablets, I believe I'm joining millions of other people on this stuff. Oh well, at least I've always got my bike. :P
