Well, reading other people's diaries this morning it sounds as if most people did something about Pancake Day last night.

I didn't, because I'd already organised to have an expensive Chinese meal with the PuTTY team in celebration of having managed to get a release out, and this Tuesday had been free for everyone so I booked it before realising it was Shrove Tuesday. We did the best we could, though, by ordering a double quantity of pancakes with the crispy duck :-)

Sometimes I think I really must get better at noticing this sort of generally-significant calendar event in advance. I'm terrible at bank holidays, as well, although that usually works out in my favour since the extra day of weekend tends to come as a nice surprise which I haven't already booked hectic social events to fill, so I get to spend it actually resting. And in this case I haven't really lost out because ceb's party this weekend will have pancakes anyway (and not being a Lent subscriber it isn't too late for me). But I'd at least like to arrange not to feel silly when I forget this sort of thing…

I did the same thing - arranged to go out to dinner with someone before either of us thought it was pancake day. So I had pizza on pancake day (it was kind of big and flat and round, right?) but did have some dubious microwavable pancakes in the CMS at lunch

Suffice it to say that my Palm Pilot knows about Pancake Day. (-:
