In all the facade of "lets make some money", comes yet another day that stops everyone in their tracks to dip hand in pocket and spend the sort of money that may have been better spent on more important stuff.

Oh, LOVE is important but then so is having breakfast, lunch and supper. Cant remember a special day put aside for that, well not yet anyway. I don't sound grumpy and left out and thus want to knock this day, this Valentine's Day to pulp because at the end of the day it happens to be LEAP YEAR (February grace us with one extra day this year, 29 instead of 28) Whoopee!!!

In the LIB (well perhaps not in the title, but somewhere in the organisation at least) of Women's Lib it stands proclaimed that on LEAP YEAR Ladies can hunt their hunters rather then being hunted, as during any other year (when February do not have that extra day) 

So it stands to reason that here I would have the opportunity to track down and hunt my man for a change. Common sense put paid to that exciting idea when it occurred to me that I do not have a man I would like to hunt down, at least not anyone that had not already been taken that is .........

So once again I have only myself and my company to be with on this red and white, flowers and wine, chocolates and teddy-bears day of days

Valentine's day indeed.

I convince myself that it cant happen every year so mayBE next year, V-day will be special for me too .......
