That 40-day thing; 1

Lent. I never knew what it entailed, apart from the 40 day period where Christians give up 'something'. A quick search online told me more specifically that its a period where Christians give up 'luxuries' and 'practice self-discipline'. I've been a Christian all my life, is it bad that I didn't know this? 

Anyhow, I was asked and asked this year about what I was going to give up this year for lent. And found nothing. I couldn't think to anything I loved so much, it was taking over my life. (Apart from the people I surround myself with. Sorry God, no matter how much of a luxury they are to me, I am not giving them up.) And the two things I love so much are virtually out of my life. Photography and blogging. I can't remember how I thought of this, I think I was on the tube people watching or something inspiring. But I decided for 40 days, I want to post a picture a day (or more), of absolutely anything, no rules, apart from the picture has to be taken by me. 

This is a huge challenge for me right now, my life is all over the place atm, I nearly have no time for anything anymore. But I think I'm gonna feel good and proud if and when I complete this. So here goes instalment number one. 

About time I felt proud about being a londoner.
