Happy Valentine's Day

Andrew – So today is Valentine's Day, all together now awwwwww.

Gusband and I don’t really believe in it per se. We like that people were spending their cash in the bookshop this weekend buying a pressie for their loved one but we won’t be celebrating and I’d sure as shit better not be given a book.

This time last year Gusband and I decided we would go out for a nice dinner. We were in Bali for a month and were eating out most nights so it really wasn’t much of a stretch. I remember I was wearing a favourite red “Bali” shirt and fuck me if that wasn’t the world’s worst choice of clothing ever. Everywhere we looked at the restaurant were red things. Red bloody love hearts, red chocolates, red material draped from one end of the restaurant to the other there was even pink fucking sparkling!

Dodgy photo I know but this was the menu.

Too funny. Here were 2 gay boys perched up at their table having a Balinese degustation with every other loved up straight couple in Seminyak. Well the pink dollar is as good as the gold one so we drank up and had a fabulous time.

According to the Catholic website, Saint Valentine is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travelers and young people. Fuck he’s busy!

Wait until you hear how romantic  Lucy and Sawusband’s Valentines Day’s are…..

Lucy – Oh no Not Valentine's again... I thought you told me it was just another tradition invented by Hallmark & retail outlets / bookstores to cash in between Christmas & Easter....Who knew!

Anyhoo I can hardly remember my own Birthday let alone Valentine's F**King Day.

Sawusband & I are not known to be the most romantic of couples in the world, if you couldn’t already guess.

I couldn’t think of anything worse than being out with every new romantic couple on Valentine's night. The restaurants have to basically sit you on top of each other because they are losing money hand over fist having to turn possible tables of four into two’s. All night long couples looking into each other’s eyes waiting for the most romantic words they have ever heard to be (m)uttered to them.

So Andrew I thought I best do a bit of research as well and according to the Collins Dictionary: Valentine is a card or gift expressing love or affection, sent, often anonymously, to ones sweetheart or satirically to a friend, on Saint Valentine’s Day.

Andrew & Gusband are always quite romantic; they seem to celebrate in style all their many occasions. Gifts flow (they are always well thought out gifts as well) while Sawusband is very good with words, I can always expect a card with wonderful sentiments inside.

Every year I am lucky to remember my Wedding Anniversary let alone how many wonderful years I have been married....So My gift to you Sawusband is this, I just did the math & this anniversary we will be married 9 years.....(I had to look it up)But none the less when people ask me I should hopefully remember the answer.

I hope you all have a truly wonderful Valentine’s Day.Xxx
