Hi everyone!
I told OH he wasn't to buy me flowers for today as they always charge too much, but he ignored me. A dozen long stem roses have just been delivered. I did enjoy receiving them :-)))

Hello all
I got nothing for Valentine's Day!! Well, 15 years or so ago, I got a card. For years I dug it out and displayed it just for fun. See these Scotsmen - they don't have a romantic bone in their body...
OG- you are a brave soul to even think about choosing a gift for a teenager. If I don't get a hint from their Mum I always opt for a gift voucher. Amazon is always good.
AQ- hope that you feel better soon.
Everyone - thanks for news. I'm wondering about GEORGE.
Morning all:
Heather: I'm sharing with you - and everyone else - the white roses I woke up to find this morning (I love white flowers and these are almost David Austin-like). Heaven only knows how OH smuggled them into the house; I suspect they spent the night in his shower. Please do something Really Nice for yourself this weekend and make a note (for next year)to send yourself some flowers, then claim ignorance when your OH asks who sent them.
George: Heather (and now I'm sure others) wonder how you're doing? Hugs to you. :-)
Hello All - Happy Valentines Day to Everyone, pleased to hear about the lovely flowers that some of you received. It is a long time since I have had a valentine card or present but when my husband was alive we always gave each other cards and presents and usually went out for an evening meal. One year I gave him a dog! we had a Dalmatian already but my OH was always saying that he missed our Boxer dog and when I saw one advertised for sale in the local paper I thought it would make a nice present for him. We called in to see her on the way to the Restaurant, then talked about it all through the meal and called into the owners on the way home and said that we would like to have her. We took her on the following weekend on a three week trial to see if she got on well with our Dalmation and also on the understanding that the owners could have her back if they missed her too much, they had not really wanted to part with her. Both the dogs got on really well right from the beginning, they were both 18 months old and about the same size and had years and years of happy lives together, so that was a very successful Valentines Day present!
After two days of unaccustomed gardening I feel quite tired today and have done nothing much except some ironing. Did not sleep very well last night as I had a very aching shoulder and it is not much better today.
Annette - loved the picture of your epiphyllum, they are beautiful flowers are'nt they? I like the sound of your white roses too.
George - I am also wondering if all is well with you.
Margo - Hope that you are feeling better .
Enjoy the rest of the day everyone, especially those having a romantic meal!!
RITA - ironing+aching shoulder= more ache in shoulder. I hope that tomorrow, you will take it easy!
Ha ha ANNETTE, I'm loving the white roses!
