Unusually, we’re a day late this year celebrating Valentine’s Day – an ageing father-in-law and a poorly sister-in-law were the focus of our attention on the actual day.
Another change this year was a bit of role-reversal! 👍
The girls (Ann and Valerie) did all the hard work and created a Valentine’s meal for David and me! And what a menu…
Out came the food….
…and what a fantastic meal it turned out to be. The combined cheffing-talents of our better-halves (according to my taste-buds anyway) made it even better than restaurant standard! Yummy!
What no red roses this year? Well, no, actually! As Ann and I are travelling to Australia in a few days, buying Ann a whole bunch of red-roses would have been a bit of a waste*, so I did the next best thing… *by mutual agreement! 👍
Instead, to complete the romantic theme, I gave Ann one Valentine’s Card for every year we’ve been married, a single rose, a cuddly bear, a couple of Valentine glasses.
…and to complete the evening, we chose a movie from Sky, – Roman J Israel Esq starring Denzel Washington, but we gave up on it after 15 minutes – it just didn’t grab us!
Instead, we reverted back to (almost) live TV and the latest episode of Granchester!
By 10.15 we were all ‘Valentined-out’ and we called it a night. What an evening! Great food with great friends!
Nighty-night!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
