How is everyone Valentine’s Day?

Rach91

Hi guys how was everyone’s Valentine’s Day? Me well I got paid today and went to my local cafe for breakfast then I met my friend for an hour who helped me get my dogs food I buy in bulks as it’s cheaper. I then worked on my model that I’m creating for my zen garden project. I’m now eating spaghetti bolognaise with a glass of Rose wine. On Sunday I’m over my friends again for a late valentines meal I’m making fajitas and he going to make a cheese cake for dessert sadly he couldn’t do this evening so we going to do everything on Sunday instead. So over to you guys what have you been up to today and how was your Valentine’s Day? 

  • I have a problem with time in general, it is very slippery for me. I also know how calendars were developed and how random they are, there is no physical connection between the timings of the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the phases of the moon and the rotation of the tilted Earth around the Sun. I therefore have developed a deep antipathy for doing or buying things just because it is a particular date on the Gregorian calendar. I prefer to do things and buy presents because that's what I feel like, rather than being dictated to by a date. For Valentine's Day and wedding anniversaries, we usually discuss what we are going to do beforehand, this year we agreed to do nothing, no cards either, which suited me. I do birthdays and Christmas dutifully, however.

  • After roughly 4 years of not getting a card and 3 years of me not sending one back I came downstairs to find a card and some chocolate on the side. The first thing I thought was I got the message after not doing valentines for 4 years so why was this done without letting me know beforehand? It made absolutely no sense but I quickly went out to go and get something for my wife. Disaster averted but I’m now trying to think back to see if there were any hints that I missed about buying each other this year. 
    Other than that a pretty standard night of me making pizza (every Friday without fail), gaming and I’ve been watching episodes of the young ones. 

    Hope you have a nice evening on Sunday Rach. Lotus 48 years together is an achievement so well done to you and yours. CatWomen it felt like it was just the 14th February to me but the problem was that I thought Valentine’s Day was the 15th. 

  • Pretty much the same as every Friday, although I did wish my husband a happy Valentine's Day and he said the same to me. It was our 48th Valentine's day together, so we no longer waste money on cards & gifts.

  • I didn't notice, it's just 14th of Feb to me, mind you that means there will be loads of flowers at reduced prices over the weekend so I might go and get some.
