today is shrove tuesday for those of you who have been so consumed with something else that it has passed you by!

the BBC has helpfully informed me of the following:
Pancake tossing is also a very serious pastime for some people - Ralf Laue from Leipzig broke the world record by tossing a pancake 416 times in 2 minutes and Mike Cuzzacrea ran a marathon while continually tossing a pancake for no less than 3 hours, 2 minutes and 27 seconds. The world's biggest pancake was cooked in Rochdale in 1994, it was an amazing 15 metres in diameter, weighed three tonnes and had an estimated two million calories.

if you would like to make pancakes tonight, then the BBC has teamed up with the lovely delia smith to help you out.

have fun tossing! any SOFA girls reading this - we're meeting for 7pm prayers at church and then going to Cathers for a pancake extravaganza! bring a topping!
