We didn't bother with valentines day, decided it was a load of commercial claptrap (or as the wife put it so much more eloquently, it's pandering to a capitalist society)! My excuse is that romantic gestures are for all year round so why should Feb 14th be special (although if a dozen red roses, a large box of chocolates and a cuddly toy had come my way this might have been an altogether different post). Having said all that we did enjoy a nice meal, a bottle of fizzy wine (left over from the PhD celebrations, not bought specially for the occasion) and curled up on the sofa in front of the telly.
Talking of last nights telly, I was getting prepared to rant all about last nights edition of 'Holiday Showdown' and the bloke that thought that homosexuality was the root of all evil but also thought it perfectly acceptable to take his kids on a shooting holiday, shooting pigs and firing the biggest gun in the whole of Texas. Fortunately after he got to know the bisexual couple who took him and his family to San Francisco his opinion seemed to change somewhat. So he has been given a reprieve. Or perhaps I'm just in a good mood.
