it's PANCAKE DAY (check wikipedia, it has got something to do with the start of the period of fasting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday)! after a nasty day at school (with a stats test) i came home and found my host mum experimenting with pancake batter - in the beginning it didn't really work out, but we figured out how to improve it (in the end my host mum was making the pancakes and i made the batter) - a really funny dinner!
