Happy Valentines Day - All You Need Is Love
 
Anyone got anything planned? Have you bought or expecting any presents. I was going to get my girlfriend a bunch of flowers and a nice dinner at the Keg but since the Boat Show is on, there is a great special on some top of the line fishing reels so I'm going to get them instead as it seems extravagant to do both.

My OH suggested she buy me lunch but I told her it clashed with the Barcelona game today.

I was tempted to buy myself a Playstation Vita but in the end I think she'd be happier if I got the reels. :thumbup:

Well Shimano, Daiwa, Okuma & Zebco bills could be passed off as being Sushi meals bought for lunch but she may click onto the VISA bill showing International Boat Show or something like that :lol:

Actually I'm looking to replace a couple of Islander reels that some cad nicked off the boat last month. :frown:

Inspired by a question on the local CBC morning show radio, I enquired of Mrs AX "What makes a relationship work?"

"You listening to me" she replied.

It's the little things...

And before the ladies chime in about us men being insensitive and cheap
I bought my OH a nice black ceramic watch to match mine.
Unfortunately hers is a Roots brand as opposed to my Rado brand :rofl:

Going to go to fly her to Victoria for supper at the Spitfire Grill (as its on airport and don't need to get a taxi somewhere). Pretty romantic if I say so myself. Did by some chocs, but flowers are way too expensive this time of year. Was going to get some last week when they were cheaper, but they'd look a bit sorry by now, so, I'll get some on the 15th!

It makes so much more sense to me, I'd much rather he waited til tomorrow and bought me triple the amount of chocolate. That's real love!
