Valentines Day or....

... Loneliness amplified day for you single people... OR... Prove it day for all you couples.

Who knew St. Valentine had stocks in Clinton Cards and Thornton's?

My advice consists of The Strokes, wine, coffee and not staying still for very long. Less a Valentines tradition as a day to day coping mechanism, but worth trying ;)

Ah cruel realisation

I got a call from my great aunt yesterday, she was "concerned" as I hadn't paid her cheque in to my bank... those who know me will understand why...

I agreed to meet her on the weekend so she could give me the cash instead, lunch she suggests... YES why not, haven't seen her in a while and its always a bad move to say no to a free feed these days.

So, great... lunch and a wad of cash for a Saturday, Saturday the 14th, Saturday the 14th of February... OH NO, you see for the slower amongst you (Like me) what I have inadvertantly done is arranged to meet an old lady on Valentines day in order to have a sit down meal during which she will palm off a large sum of cash to me.... To the casual observer this will look rather dodgy, and like I am some kind of male escort for the elderly.

How do I get myself into these situations?
