Why is there so long to go until Easter, why?
Possibly it's because I haven't yet learned to suffer my lack of chocolate with good grace.
A lovely sunny day today, sat out in the garden at my outlaws reading the rest of Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld - a fine example of steampunk, should you be in need of one.
And now on to A Hat Full of Sky.
In which a librarian attempts to give up chocolate for Lent, in exchange for much needed items to support a school in Nepal. Go ahead, laugh at her misery.
No pain, no gain
Who would want to give up chocolate? Not many people, including me. Obviously I had a mad 2 minutes in which it seemed like a good idea, but that was weeks ago and I've come to my senses now. All too late though, I had already committed myself to the fabulous 'Stuff Your Rucksack' scheme for a trip to Nepal in April. This will see me forced to leave the kitchen sink behind and instead fill my rucksack with far more useful things to support the work of Nepal Schools Aid (UK) with disadvantaged children in Kathmandu.
Instead of financial support I am seeking donations of coloured paper/crayons/finger paints/maps/plastic letters to take to Nepal. If you would like to make a financial donation though, it would of course be very welcome. Please click on the link to My Charity page.
*Update - educational posters are also urgently needed as a priority!*
