Love love…
the annual over-priced, over themed, over booked day of love has passed.
Yes i am an old cynic about it and i do subscribe to the view that the anti-valentines folk evangelise. In that you don’t need to have one specific day a year to tell your other half that you love them. But it is nice to have a little bit of gift giving on the horizon in the bleak, grey winter days. My daughter got a valentines card from a young admirer at school, she is EIGHT! Nevertheless she was dizzy with excitement of it all and had marvelled all day at who it could have been and it sort of made me realise that those days when you awaited valentines from an unknown admirer have long passed (which is a REALLY good thing). But remember those? I had forgotten that whole aspect of valentines.
Apparently in America it is a HUGE event and the idea of an anonymous card would have the receiver thinking that the sender had merely been absent minded and not signed it. How different things can be.
This year we went for TEA and CAKE..Our theme and i think it was a pretty good one…and ever so slightly middle-aged!
the daily shutter..its unusual…
I am usually the last mum to nursery..you know the type…sweeping in at the last minute trying to eeek out those final minutes of kids free time. 🙂
Toady i had a little bit more time as i had met a friend and run a few errands and so i went and parked near the kids nursery and had a quick stroll in the sunshine. Nice to have the sunshine back and the snow gone now.
I love the little white picket type fence gateway that this church has so had to take a few pics. Looking at it I can picture the ladies and gents of years gone by in their sunday best heading to church.
Its a beautiful little setting for a church…but then that isnt what makes a church is it? An impressive building and a pretty gate?
No i think its the people, i think the people are the church..a bit like that little kids rhyme..here’s the church, here’s the steeple..open it up and there are all the people!
the park…daily shutter…
A rare moment when it was just me walking in the park. Well and the dog….
I changed the white balance on these images for that creamy, muted tone. But then it was that kind of day anyway…
the daily shutter….the cone of shame…
yes..it comes to most male dogs..well..not all…but he had ‘that’ operation. Suffice to say im sure he is feeling very miffed about it. He was pretty chipper going into the vets and even the pre-med they give him didn’t kerb his bouncyness…then fast forward to the evening and he has a big old hangover, has a cone on his head and is wondering what he is missing…
average night out for some eh?
To add insult to injury..today at his check up, i grassed on him and said i thought that if he tried really hard he could probably give “it” a good old lick…Which promptly got him upgraded to a bigger cone…
sorry pal 🙁
