Here’s hoping….

(Last year was a very nice chazza copy of Night Owl.)
Ha ha! That dude thinks Valentines Day is for blokes as well.
Cottage in Northumberland
Log Fire
Cooking a meal.
Candles.
Red heart lights.
Lovely!
You smooth old dog.
I’ll have to be back Saturday night though, ok?
Tiptoe quietly as you leave.
This keeps appearing on my fb timeline. Mmm, romantic.

My local solicitor is advertising Valentine’d Day special offer – half-price will writing.
Ridiculous – that grey Aga isn’t in the least romantic.
Me cooking sunday dinner in the nuddy, a rose in every orifice. (Careful with those thorns, Eugene!)
Every grown womans dream.
It’s a strong look, retro:

Ignoring it.
We both agreed that hollow gestures on one day a year do not constitute a strong relationship.
Which using blokes decoding logic means … don’t buy anything, but at the same time make sure you do.
One year, based on this agreement, I came home and presented her with a bouquet of flowers. I was summarily told off. The following year, I did nothing. And you’ve guessed it, I was told off again.
Hope she likes the new matching Oven Gloves, Apron and Tea Towels
Your admirable principle gave me pause. You’re right – hollow gestures should be a year-round thing.
I trust the oven gloves will be the Joy Division type?
I’ve got tickets for us to see Richard Hawley next week (I know, I’m just so selfless!).
Also bought her a large gift bag with miscellaneous small gifts chosen on impulse as I walked through town over the last hour or so…Posh fragranced candle, check. Small notepad with romantic cover, check. Chocolates with lovey-dovey messages, check. Heart-shaped yummy pastry-type thing from Carluccios, check. Er…cute coaster, check. Um…copy of War And Peace, проверить.
Will also be doing the cooking honours on Sunday. Hope she likes buttered toast.
A coaster?
Don’t you think you’re setting the bar a bit high for the rest of us? All the Afterword wombyns will be reading this. Get on-side man.
The coaster has some slogan about ‘the tea of love’. I’m sure it’s not meant to be a euphemism.
So does that mean that she’ll also be expecting a cup of tea?
You haven’t thought this through, have you?
Half bottle of Pink Champers, a box of black black chocolate and the tackiest card I could find in Brighton (Tacky Central). What can go wrong?
Oh, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon all cooked by me in nothing but my Delia Smith pinny. I reckon I could be in on Sunday morning.. .
Unquestionably.
Though once she goes black black…
I’ve got Mrs M a shitload of chocolate.
She’ll be too fat to run away from me.
Result!!
That’s entirely what Valentine’s Day is all about.
In Kazakhstan.
The joy of being a robot: I’ll be powering down midnight on the 13th until the following midnight..
In a private email, Moose tells me he’ll be taking his socks off and putting out his tab.
