Day 316: Happy Valentine’s Day.


 Whatever the day had install for you, hope it was a good one?  If you didn’t get any chocolates think of the calories you don’t have to burn.  If those dozen red roses didn’t quite make your place, I wouldn’t worry about that either, just think another allergy free day – yahoo.  They will be on sale tomorrow anyway so you can buy yourself some.  Well, that is a very cynical look at the day, isn’t it?  Before you ask, yes did get a beautiful card and showered with love.  Lucky enough to be showered in love ever day and kind of see today as another money spinner.  Maybe the meaning got lost a little along the way; who gets the bigger bouquet is king of the office etc.  Look out if the poor husband hasn’t even sent any, no desert for you Mr for the next while.  You could spare a thought for the Saint that this day all started for.  Saint Valentine, patron of lovers, who was believed to be murdered on 14 Feb back in AD270.  The Roman Emperor Claudius II at the time renounced all marriages and engagements within the army.  He didn’t want emotion clouding his men’s judgement in battle.  However, St Valentine ignored his request still conducted marriages.  Unfortunately he was found out and sentenced to a very horrible death.  It is rumoured he left a note for the jailer’s daughter ‘Love from your Valentine’, supposedly the first Valentine card.  So for those who didn’t get anything today, enjoy today’s photograph, it is calorie free.   Don’t forget to shower people with love everyday – that’s free too.
