Today, I learned, is Pancake Day. This is in celebration of St Pancake who died of eggs. Some people say the day is also to celebrate Shrove Tuesday and the start of some kind of something called Lent, but I’m not so sure about that. In any case, I normally spend the week running up to Pancake day in anticipation, occassionally having a Pre-Pancake-Day Pancake Day. But this year has been different. I’ve been oddly detached from world events, in particular ones involving food. What has happened to me? If it weren’t for Natalie reminding me, the day could have passed by me completely. This would have been catastrophic for obvious reasons.
So we’re all making pancakes tonight, hurrah, except for Moses who is working late, hahah never mind. What do you take on your pancake? Sugar? Lemon juice? Jam? Honey? Maple syrup? Nutella? Jam? Ham? A fine liquor? Thatch?
It is also a New Moon tonight, which is the exact opposite of a Full Moon in darkness terms. I wonder if perhaps, in the same way that some people turn to wolves during a Full Moon, will some wolves turn into humans tonight? Raising onto their hind legs, to perform menial day-to-day tasks? Have you ever seen a wolf use a photocopier? Keep your eyes open, for tonight you may.
Perhaps the wolf-humans will have their own pancake day
Happy Birthday boys of the fort who aren’t Moses!
