after the Feast, the Fast

Well the Intercalary days have come and gone, and we are now in the month of fasting. It has been a good few days this year in our family, with some nice presents, visiting family and friends and going to the cinema one evening.

Really looking forward to fasting for the next few weeks, as it involves getting up before sunrise for breakfast and dawn prayers. Actually, I suppose the evening meal should then be called 'breakfast' for this month! Certainly a time to reorient the "spiritual compass".

Not sure I could cope with fasting as I like my food too much. Don't you get hungry during the day? My friend Farmer Giles brings food around twice a week so it would be impossible to refuse
