I found it was fine - no breakfast…. Just herbal teas /water till around 11ish maybe 12 then food as wanted and dinner by 7 when possible.. if a bit later just later starting to eat the next day. Thought it might impact on walking energy but didn’t - and didn’t bother me sitting with others...
Couldn’t agree more- always spend more on donativo days to show gratitude for generosity and hopefully to make up a bit for those who cannot afford or chose not to be generous back…
