I only sort of like pancakes, and I pretty much never have the energy to cook them in the evening of Shrove Tuesday when it falls in term time. I am quite relieved that Tuesday is now not one of my days with children.
Lent means no alcohol, though I drink so little that I tend to think that doesn't count. It also comes with a Lent Book - often a poetry anthology. This year's is prominently subtitled Lent Book 2020, which says a lot about the last year. I managed all of one chapter then. I am also attempting to get myself into the habit of getting washed and brushed and into pyjamas before going downstairs after putting the children to bed, so that if I must wake crumpled up on the sofa in the small hours I only have to fall into a bed I am already ready for. I never mean to fall asleep on the sofa, but it happens at least twice a week.
