Valentines Day - Who's Up For It ?
Did the flowers (didn't pay daft money - NO!), and a card. We usually go somewhere nice but it can be a bit of a faff and a take on. Decided to go with the M&S Valentines dine in for two - Choice of different Starter, main, side and desert plus a bottle of sparkly Brut or Rose plus chocolates thrown in all for 20squid - looks quality too so I'll be cooking that lot for us tonight

Never had to bother, with it being my Birthday
Truth is always new, totally unknown, and unknowable. The mind must come to it without any demand, without any knowledge,without any wish; it must be empty, completely naked. Then only truth may happen. But you cannot invite it.
