I knew it was Valentine's Day and that is why I wasn't here, until now. I created a romantic weekend getaway for Don. Yesterday was just the beginning. He has No clue. In just a matter of hours, he is in for a big surprise! :) ;)
I remembered it was Valentine’s Day yesterday, but I did forget that this weekend is a long weekend. WAS BEST NEWS EVER finding out on Friday that Monday is a holiday! I’m usually counting down to long weekends, so I don’t know how I forgot about it.
Spent the day with Ari - but not celebrating. It was the first day in a week when it wasn't heavily raining. (Yes, the La Niña has arrived at last, extinguished the bushfires and brought the floods - though the drought continues in the Outback.) The grass had grown and was starting to set seed - so Ari used the brushcutter while I mowed and weeded.
But we did celebrate the day after - a walk on the beach at Kingsliff, a Fettuccini Leonora at a beachside café, and watching the film "Emma."
"Emma" turned out to be well suited to Valentine's - all about who marries who, a very silly Fin de Siecle romance which takes the p*ss out of snobbery and shows how damaging and stupid it is. It probably deserves 8 out of 10 rotten tomatoes - not really worth seeing.
Sorry I wasn't here to wish you a happy Valentine's, Sharonna. But I wish you lots of love in your life, all you could want.
I only sent one to one person too... then I worked and was in bed by 7pm.. We weren’t supposed to get old Ffs. But that was a good enough Valentine’s Day for me, so I guess getting old isn’t that bad lol.
Yes, I knew. However he doesn't wear any kind of jewelry except one big ring. I had plans to buy him a gift but found all out he will wear is a tattoo. He has enough those and I wanted to give him something he didn't have.
