Valentines day is such a minefield for most people, single, a couple, married alike. Single? Do you go out and try to find someone? If you are a couple, what do you do? A meal? Just a card? Do you need to buy a present? I heard this one lady text into a radio show saying how unloved she felt as she had only received a card from her husband. I felt like finding her address and giving her a slap. If you are getting a present, who much do you spend!!? Its not like the anniversary/birthday/Christmas presents don't rinse enough out of you. Valentines day is a crock no matter how you look at it.
Which brings me to why I enjoyed my valentines day so much. Legs is a bit like me. Cynical to the last about over hyped annual guilt fests like valentines day. Soph got me a card which was nice and she got a card in return which she very much liked. We cooked a meal together in the evening and set the table in the dining room. The nice thing was taking 2 hours over dinner and a couple of glasses of wine.
I still can't get over the silly bint on the radio. I hope her husband went out and got mercilessly drunk that night.
Sunday was pretty cool too. Chris, Sarah and the kids came over and we had a Sunday roast followed by a nice constitutional down to Gloucester docks. Good times indeed. In the evening, I watched 'Hitman' which is pretty cool albeit a little predictable. In fact my weekend included several films. On Saturday morning I watched American Pie - Beta house while is essentially (very) soft porn. In the afternoon I started watching 'AdultHood' too so I might finish that some time later this week....
