Love is all around

 


Happy Valentine's Day. I actually really like this day. Of course it's a long time since I wondered if I'd get any cards from secret admirers, and Mark and I don't exchange cards or gifts. We do usually have a nice dinner at home and I might decorate the table - rose petals and candles, you know the stuff. A reminder to be nice to each other which is just as well because I wasn't talking to him yesterday. He was just being insensitive and a bit of a plonker. Too much to explain but trust me, sometimes he's an idiot. 

ASDA have a great meal deal on, except (in my local store) when I went the other day half the food expired on 13th!? And they had ran out of drink (so you could get two mains instead of one as a replacement to the wine) and when I tried again yesterday they had zero main courses left (is that all the mains sold replacing the drink?). I am going to try again today and failing that I'll try Morrisons. 

It's my sister's wedding anniversary today too. They've managed 30 years (pearl) which is pretty cool for them. Happy anniversary guys! Though going out for dinner for your anniversary must be a nightmare with everyone eating out for valentine's too lol. It's a good excuse for Richard not to buy flowers though. Do you use that excuse BiL? I bet you buy roses anyway - sod the cost. 

I will be buying myself red roses this weekend once they've been reduced because I do not sod the cost! I much prefer the pleasure I get from grabbing a bargain, oh and I'm obviously tight!

The picture was sent by my pal Karen (she was having a sort out). That's me in the blue jumper (look at the hair cut!) with my other good friend Karen (I collect Karen's, I have at least 3 current good Karen friends). I think I was about 17 years old here. A lifetime ago. But really good memories. 

Have a lovely evening if you are celebrating - with a partner, son/daughter or pet, and make some memories. And if you're not, have a great weekend anyway. 

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
