Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines!!

Got some flowers last night. Apparently I don't like red flowers (??) so I got some orange and yellow roses. Very nice. And, very lucky for hubby, no flowers no chocolate for you:)



We have decided to stay home tonight. For the first time in years, we are not going out for a meal, instead we are having a take out, probably Japanese. I tried to remember the dinners we had on Valentine's day in the past. Last year we went to an Italian restaurant across the road from Nancy and MArk in Cologne, the year before it was either a steakhouse or Sushi, or we cooked. Not sure. I know the first Valentine Gavin and I spent together in 2005 I had booked him at the dentist. And he cooked lasange for me afterwards. Year after that we went to Daitokai in Cologne and spanked 200 euro on Japanese food and wine. The years after that  are a bit of a blur. In Germany Valentine day is not so commercialised yet, nice. It was never a big problem making a reservation or just popping out for dinner, and it was never particulary busy. Over here there are set menues and it is super busy, shops are filled with sweets, chocolates and all sorts. Have to admit I have no idea what Valantines in Sweden is like. Probably somewhere inbetween.

Time to wake the sleeping beauty. Unfortunately she is still struggling with a cold. She now sleeps around 9-10 hours a night, such a blessing. She is definitely not feeling to well at the moment, she never sleeps much during the day (cat naps only) but today and yesterday she has slept unusually much. Poor baby. HAve to admit, I am enjoying the silence a little.
