Valentine's Day
Today, as you will know, either a result of buying a present or having to deal with the rage of a woman because you didn't buy one, is Valentine's day. If you didn't know, I suggest you stop off on your way home and buy something, or else you may be spending the evening in the hospital.
Ele and I decided that because Valentine's is just a stupid commercial thing designed purely to make the greetings card people money, that we wouldn't buy each other cards this year. I made the gallant point that I love her every day of the year and don't need a special day in which to show it. In any case, our anniversary is a far more significant event. Fortunately, she agreed.
So I was shocked yesterday when I received an email from her asking me what I was getting her.
Apparantly, although we are of the opinion that it is commercial nonsense, and that we weren't buying cards, she was still expecting a present. Worse, she had already got me one which meant there was no chance of talking her out of it. I had to goto the supermarket on the way home.
In there I noticed that there was an aisle that had one side dedicated to Valentine's products. On the other side of the aisle were vacuum cleaners. It reminded me of an email I had received from a colleague.
I got my wife a new belt and a new bag for Valentine's...
... now the Hoover works a treat!
Be warned - do not try this at home!
