It’s not over until the fat lady sings Ash Wednesday.

Which is today.

Until which time debauchery, iniquity, degeneracy and general sinning continues unabated.

Including such frivolous pastimes as paying good money to be strapped in a cabin, be accelerated to Mach 3 and loop the loop in front of the cathedral.

Watched over by the Madonna on the corner of the Markthäuser, giving all and sundry the evil eye and doubtless saying to the Little Bloke “Yes, I KNOW it looks like fun, but I’m NOT giving you €5 to go on that thing. It’s MUCH too dangerous and anyway if something happens, you won’t be able to save mankind”

I believe one can do penance by giving up chocolate or similar until Easter.

I think I’ll give up blogging….
