I wish I could find the words to express all these little bits of knowings, feelings and ponderings that light up in my mind but it's not a skill I have ever mastered. My valentine's evening was postponed until Saturday 16th when we had microwave curry (from M&S, so it was very nice), chocolate cake and I chanced a wee glass or two of Merlot. I've rarely touched the stuff since the R-word but I refuse to wimp out totally. What would we do without love, eh?

Sometimes (especially very ill times) the little connections are like small, protein-rich meals - sustaining in a way that is very difficult to explain. A small encounter like this can really hit the spot.

I bought daffodils and the shop was having a power cut and the woman seemed so pleased to sell me daffodils and to tell me how she needed her lunch and was flummoxed by the power cut.

You write so beautifully.<br /><br />And what's more, you said pretty much what I was thinking I might want to say, today, if I could get myself round to posting, Blogstasi or no Blogstasi – only you say it better, fuller. But if I would have written, it was going to be about friendship, also, rather than romantic love. Imagine my startled delight of recognition, when I saw you'd written about friendship. <br /><br />Did I ever tell you we (igloo-land) never used to really celebrate Valentine's Day, when I was a child? And then while I was gone, they started to, only they call it "Ystävänpäivä" – Friend's Day. People say, <i>hyvää ystävänpäivää</i> to each other, or send emails or texties. And although the unbearable advert men are doing their best to get us to buy our friends a BMW or a box of heart-shaped something-or-anothers for ystävänpäivä, I do kinda like the general idea of having a day earmarked for celebrating friendship. Yea verily. <br /><br />So you know, Hyvää ystävänpäivää, <b>Signs</b> my dear ystävä. I am happy and privileged to have you as my friend. <br /><br />x<br /><br />(Oh and. I mean no disrespect to the dude – he does a grand job, methinks. But misheard lyrics are just something that I find tooooo funny.)Anna MRhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xJWxPE8G2cnoreply@blogger.com
