Bizarre Valentine's Day
Yesterday we went over to the house of another couple for dinner with the offspring in tow. I knew about this so far in advance I'd semi-forgotten about it and at no stage did I put the date together with the Saint's Day and make any kind of connection.
The Fat Bastard and his mate went off and shopped and I took the offspring round when the meal was almost ready ... a full chinese menu starting with Crispy Duck followed by a selection including a beef/mushroom dish, ribs, sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein, a vegetable stir fry, rice etc etc.
We watched a bit of telly, including the highlights of the third and deciding match in the finals series between the Aussies and the Sri Lankans at the Gabba (which we won, naturally; oh what an aberration was the summer just past).
Eventually we packed up and came home ... I had one or two things to do before I went up to bed and as he passed me on his way upstairs he wished me a Happy Valentine's Day.
How bizarre is that?
Well, all things considered I would have to say that one a scale of 0 - 10 it is a moment that scores a big fat dozen.
