Would you like a glass of Chateau Gizzy?

Mercy, MrsLN, such supermassive gorgeousness should be illegal.

Oh kerrrumbs, I just know I am going to burn the dinner today.

If you do the slideshow through the archery photos, it's like a little animation - Cupid in action.

I know the sun is not yet over the yardarm but I'm going out now for my hot date with Colin The Gardener so will leave you with a little gift (pre-loved but fun nonetheless). In fact, I was watching this earlier, purely for academic purposes, when my mother rang to tell me she wanted Colin for her toyboy. .

Testing testing...!

Hi Mrs LN!

Have fun with Colin Maud!

I like it, DSS!!!

At least your Mum didn't want to share our Man, Maud, be thankful for small mercies. I hope you have a wonderful time at the movies.
Or are having, if you have already gone.

Am I that obvious?

Was actually browsing a site of Latin phrases for inspiration and came across that one with some background info. My reasons for picking it are completely unrelated to Lucas, believe it or not.

I would have gone for the Greek myself, nice location.

Hope you are okay btw. Have been thinking of you.

Oh DSS, that is a fabulous name, I thoroughly approve.

And OMG indeed about that archery photo, Maud!! Wasn't so keen on the second one - too hairy - but the arms, ooooh, he had the arms of a young Gene Kelly in that one. And before you think I'm crazy check them out

Hope you have a great time, Maud!

All ok here thanks, Massive!

And a belated

Is anyone getting spoiled or spoiling their 'significant other' (boak) today, or are we all too grown up for that?

I would have gone for the Greek myself, nice location. Oh, yes...

And I'm totally with you on Gene Kelly, Twigs

I don't get the 'gone for the Greek' comment...?

Is anyone getting spoiled or spoiling their 'significant other'

Depends what you mean by spoiling, perhaps, DSS, but no to either anyway.

No wonder I spend so much time on here.

Thanks for the Valentine vid, very nice

There is a Greek quotation in a very interesting location, Twigs, think Spooks 7.1

I would have gone for that for a name change, in other words. But was joking.

DSS, nothing major for V-day. We have a nice meal planned and some pink Fizzy Gizzy but that's all. I did feel guilty though - we never do presents for V'Day but DrTwiglets bought me the Sylvester audiobook - we had a not-entirely-legit copy that didn't work very well so he bought me the proper one, bless him. But I didn't buy him anything as I didn't realise he'd changed the rules on me!

Oh, I get it now, thanks!

We haven't even done cards (my suggestion). To me it's just not romantic if you're doing it on a prescribed date along with everyone else.

That's nice Twigs. I don't think my DH will be adding to my Armitage collection any time soon!

No, I got a card and a cupcake,thats me done for another year

Well, we are extremely romantic, Twigs and DSS because Mr Massive did his usual trick and forgot. He always forgets prescribed dates of all sorts. Unless it's a list of footie fixtures.

But I am used to it anyway and so have no expectations. He's not a bad sort, believe it or not.

So, we call you Dum now?

The abbreviation is a bit of an issue - neither Dum, nor DSS really does it for me tbh.

Perhaps Spiro?

Ooooh, I am sorry about the DSS, then

An absolutely genius addition to the archives, even if I do say do myself...

Brilliant find, Spiro/Spero. I was hoping there would be a new one for this year.
