It was more of a level playing field on Tuesday as pancakes filled our feeds and our bellies with flour, milk and egg goodness.
Many left pondering "Why don't we do this more often" Pancakes are great. Let's not wait until pancake Tuesday 2022 to do this again!
If Tuesday was all about pancakes then Wednesday was all about those Ashes!

The Leaving Cert WILL happen this year with details revealed that students are to get a choice between calculated grades and sitting a written exam in each subject - or both if they want!
The exam timetable was also published. The Leaving Cert will run from June 9th to 29th.
Of course, there are still some issues to be ironed out but for the second year in a row, the Junior cert has been shelved!

And finally on This World, This Week
Last night the news broke that We may be looking at Lockdown 3 - Level 5 until the end of April/Beginning of May.
Speaking in government buildings to Journalist Ciara Phelan on Thursday, Michael Martin said when the government finally reveals it’s revised Living with Covid Plan next week, there will be very little changes on March 5.
That much we probably knew - How can we go to level 4 or level 3 when 47 deaths and 901 cases were notified yesterday but the way these announcements are being done and floated is unacceptable.
Taoiseach Michael Martin, Tainste Leo Varadkar and Minister Eamon Ryan would want to start speaking to each other a bit more before they speak to Journalists and Broadcasters.
Get your story straight lads.
Your people are stick of this kite-flying individual interpretation out-leaking one another shite and want the story straight from the horse's mouth.
Not -
We are thinking of, we might sure look at, the plan is coming sometime in the future.
Please speak directly to your people if the news is grim.
