Well yesterday was Valentine's Day....I love it because I take the opportunity to do something for Tony and our kids....I used to make Nutella sandwiches with WHITE bread which was a taboo mostly in our home even now...as it was always wholemeal or seeded....nourishment and nutrition was most important.....lollies was a once a week thing as well. Papa and Grandma need to remember this as the lolly drawer is mostly full with special treats for the kids....not always a good thing when their parents want to cut down on their sugar intake ....but I will blame Papa for that one as it is always he who buys them...and usually me who eats them !!!!! Anyway back to the story I would cut out little hearts with the bread, put in little treats and sometimes a note...telling them how special they were to us......Now as big kids...I have carried on the tradition...but Yesterday I took over a bottle of Patriti a loaf of white bread and a jar of Nutella some lollies for the kids in a lovely little carry bag......I have so much fun doing this I also send them a special ecard.....
For Tony and me he came home with my favourite licorice and some Magnums and I gave him a card...we went out to Hans for tea and then to the movies and saw True Grit...which I did enjoy but would have more if I could have understood Jeff Bridges...who was the main character apart from the young girl who was brilliant...Jeff, well I understood half the dialogue he mumbles and it is impossible for me to follow...put me off seeing him again because this is the second movie he has mumbled through...but he played as a drunk in both movies so maybe that was the problem.....When we came home we were so pleasantly surprised to see our door full of love hearts....Thanks Vanessa, Brendon, Jacob, Ady and Maya....we loved it and will keep it up for a few days...
It's always the little things that bring me the greatest joys. We then took Hector for a short walk and it was time for bed........Wonderful day.
