St Valentine's Day
Ah, the allegedly romantic St Valentine's Day...........largely an invention of Geoffrey Chaucer, who was a man that preferred to write about the wonders of love, rather than practice them, as seen by the fact his wife preferred to live several hundred miles away from him!

Sister's birthday and daughter's best friend in the UK's birthday. OH and I exchange cards, but don't make a fuss otherwise.

I picked option 1. I'm spending the evening with the one I love most - myself

Re: St Valentine's Day
We will be doing many such very romanticalistic things because I have organised a convertible and drive in filum. We're not married though obviously, swings and roundabouts .

Makes Hallmark and florists a ton of dosh, a bit like Mothers and Fathers Day. If you're lucky enough to have a person to love, who loves you back, then every day is Valentine's Day. If you don't have that, then having a stupid Day isn't going to change anything!
ps I've just realized that Valentine's Day is VD. I think there's something in that for all of us

My DH will be on the other side of the world so I might curl up with the box set of NCIS, a glass of red and wait for the DH return (3weeks!)
