V-day vignettes
Bf's brother called me on V-day eve to ask if I could recommend any good places to go for dinner on V-day. I came up with a list, prefaced and end-noted with the warning "But I don't know if you can get a booking now though...."
As it turned out, he couldn't get a booking at any of the places I recommended as predicted, so was thinking of booking a non-descript (and moreover, lacking in my seal of approval, gasp!) Thai place.
Our conversation went something like this:
Me: Were you going to be picking your gf up from work for dinner?
Him: Oh, no, she's not working tomorrow!
Me: Oh! Then why are you rushing with everyone else to get a dinner booking?? You could just do lunch instead!
Him: Oh yeah...but I thought dinner would be nice...
Me: Oh yeah, dinner would be nice...
Help, I'm losing my sense of romance and trading it for a sense of practicality! This is what almost 5 years of going out will do for you.

After a lousy track-record of terrible V-days we're starting to get it right! Went for dinner last night (albeit a last minute decision- we were supposed to have a picnic in a National Park until the weather clouded over and it got kinda cold) at a cosy little bistro. We exchanged gifts. It was nice. But considering that the last time we went out properly (like...on a date date, as opposed to just eating out somewhere because we happen to be together at the time) was when he got back from the UK about a year ago, maybe my standards are dropping!
Hope you had a nice V-day whatever you did.

A National Park?
You know, for the past week, I've been wanting to take a stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Who knows why.
I don't think I've been there since.....primary school?! No idea.
But .... I must be getting of age.
This could have all been one comment.
But what the hell.
It makes you feel popular.
