curiouswombatSo - I was going to make a post that said that, much though I love him, my husband doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. I mean my Valentine card was an e-card sent five minutes before he came to bed in the early hours of this morning, and it didn't have hearts or flowers on - it had a Friends of the Earth squirrel!
Only when I got home from work tonight he had actually bought me some roses. Not real ones, but a rather sweet little silk arrangement of red roses in a red pot, with little silk red hearts. How romantic is that? Actually probably not very - I guess they will have to last for the next fifteen years or so - I think it was about that long ago that he bought me one red silk rose for Valentine's Day - and reminded me about it every year since until I think it got thrown out last year, as too tatty to keep!!
Still - the silk ones are beautiful - and are a much more lasting token of love! I might even take you all a picture of them.
Then when I logged onto LJ someone had sent me an anonymous virtual rose - you can see it on my info page. S2C says it wasn't him - so a big THANK YOU for my virtual rose to you - you know who you are! Even if I don't. What fun - a secret admirer!

It's still a sweet gesture.
