Valentine Roses.

[curiouswombat]

So - 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!

Actually I rather like silk flowers - and they don't make anyone sneeze! But if I'd expected regular sweeping romantic gestures I would have had to marry someone else - good thing I prefer a man who can make me laugh, does a good chunk of the housework, and can sort out all our computer problems!

Then I'm the perfect man -- oh, sort out computer problems? Never mind, stick with the one you've got. :-)
