Valentine's Day 2013!

I had 3 Japanese WINEberries - does that count?

I think the dog liked her Valentine's treat: she punctured the box of raw lamb's liver and ran off with it before I could even find a pair of scissors.

She did leave a bit for Himself's tea, and it's now nice and clean

so ......the birthday boy has ordered himself something off the 'tinterwebby . After all the we're not bothering with Valentines business ,I get back from walking Jake to find a box of choccies on the table so I took him up a cup of coffee .
Then he got up and had to clear the blocked drains .........

I don't mind a bit of Valentine's stuff, but I draw the line at buying any 'romantic' tat. Me and the children have had an afternoon of baking heart-shaped banana muffins and making a Valentine card for Mr R. We're having curry, but I'll probably squish the pilau into a heart shaped mould as a nod to the occasion. We're not strangers to romantic gestures without an occasion to prod us into it, to be honest; and we usually light a candle with dinner and the like. I traditionally send Mr R red roses, but he was driving around today so couldn't. I'll do it on another day when he least suspects it...

well, best laid plans gang aft aglae scenario here today. We did the elderly inlaws shopping for them and then went into town intending to buy the Markies meal deal after having a coffee and a sandwich. Had a full italian meal in Prezzo instead of the Sandwich. Was really nice. Still bought the Markies stuff but too full to have that this evening. Had Paté and toast instead and will eat well tomorrow evening instead . I don't usually do decadence twice week.

Oh God, is that what we've got coming - they must hardly ever have their houses normal over there now between Christmas lasting about 6 weeks, Halloween now being out of hand and for all I know Easter bunnies jumping everywhere.............

That did make me chortle. It must be like living in the seasonal aisle of Tesco in some households. I can remember my parents watching 'Holiday' with Cliff 'Holiday' Michelmore in the early 80's and hearing vague grumbles about having to start thinking about holidays 'just after Christmas', when it was probably early May or something.
