St. Valentine's Day - Massacre!?

Happy St. V’s Day! For font colour, I’ve decided not to use a ‘real’ red. as it appears to be much to0 much like ‘Christmas’ red - and besides - this ‘Cayenne’ (the colour, thusly named, which I’ve chosen) looks akin to blood in colour - and real hearts - bleed - though perhaps, not ‘Cayenne’ - but that’s beside the point.


The point is: Happy Valentine’s Day! - to all those who have love, long for love, regret having loved, have lost love, etc - it is enough to have experienced love in one of its myriad stages/guises to understand that without its pursuit, we are lesser beings. Let our lips meet our bliss and drown in its honey.


My own has had the slightest amount of lemon added to it - just to tart it up - but not at all in a naughty way - more in the sense of adding an ‘edge’ to it - for what and where would we be if not feeling just a bit edgy, I ask you!? And, of course, I hold the wedge, firmly ‘tween thumb and forefinger, applying just the right amount of pressure to release a burst of citric aerosol into the already heady mix of chocolate and strawberry, causing the slightest, almost imperceptible, wrinkle to cross the nose.


Leave it to me to throw a little bit of sour into the mix!


Cryptic? Perhaps - but clearly graspable!


I made a trip to the ’Shoe Room’ today to buy ballet slippers and the like and found myself, once home, to be ever so slightly disappointed in my inability to buy items appropriate for my size - and they are non-refundable/returnable - I’ll have to make do - though squeezing myself into an elastic garment is not my idea of a good time - perhaps I should take that as a lesson for Valentine’s Day - it never pays to squeeze anything too tightly - lest you cut off all feeling!


(I said I’d write here every day - and this is day 2! I’m doing my best…)
