Cool!
(How has she been?)

Out for lunch, but we didn't bother with the Valentine special menu. Far too sickly.
Elder Son , and family spent most of the day travelling to/from the funeral and wake for our DiL's niece, who died in rather tragic circumstances aged no more than thirty.
I doubt that future Valentine's days will have the same meaning for them.
Valentines Day has, therefore, always been redundant in the NE household.
On many of the intervening years the NE Man, when buying flowers for our anniversary, has been asked if he forgot Valentines Day and is having to make up.
Both were appreciated.
LOL! It probably was, but I didn’t remember what the exact weight was—it was technically 7 point something ounces, and I asked Siri to tell me how many grams are in 7 ounces… my sugar will be awful tomorrow morning. 😳 I should wind down for bed now as it’s 5:36 am here. 🥱 Only a little left of this episode of Paranormal 911… 👻
St Cyril invented a curious alphabet, and the other chap invented the Methodist Church.
The Friday was another crazy work day but our local supermarket was doing a deal on two pizzas and a bottle of prosecco, so that's what we did!
We sent cards to each other and to my dad and his carer (from the cat!)
Blood sugar 271–yikes! If I don’t want to join those ghosts prematurely, I’d better exercise more discipline!
I went to the supermarket on Thursday evening and thought the car park was busier than usual. Then I went inside and realised why. There was a giant red flower display, and many last-minute people deciding which ones to buy.
It showed a man handing a bouquet of flowers to a lady, and saying *Here - I've killed some beautiful things, and brought them to you, so that you can watch them decay...*
I recognise that we get closer to the time where there will be only one of us, I want to have said these things to him, so he knows I have noticed and appreciated!
I was quite happy though to receive a packed of musk sticks (my favourites) on the day!
I kept it for years and never did find out who had sent it - I strongly suspect now that it was my parents but I never thought to inquire and now they're not here to ask.
My children and their partners arranged for a six month supply of letterbox flowers for my birthday in December and my current bunch are at their very best, with pink roses and white scented stocks. Mr Nen and I don't do Valentines ourselves as he regards it as too commercialised. We went out for a meal on Saturday evening after a busy few days away, which was really lovely, and partway through the evening (having been offered the Valentine's Menu as an option and, perhaps, also noticing the red roses in the vases on the tables) he remarked, "Oh, yes - it was Valentine's Day yesterday, wasn't it?"
That would be us. I got a quizzical look from Mr. Lamb when I suggested eating out tonight. V-Day (and our usual practice of eating out on a day nearby) had obviously slipped his mind.
Incipient scenesence has its advantages.
Yes, we were chewing on our Chicken Tikka for hours!
