Well, it looks like Valentine’s is nearly over, for me it most certainly is as I’m currently lying in bed, just out of a nice warm shower, with a gin in one hand, and chocolate in the other and bregrudgingly putting one or the other down momentarily to type these letter-words.

Feeling much better than I felt earlier on in the day, which is a relief. I think that feeling tired, emotional and being at work are a very unpleasant combination and I think that something happened earlier at just the wrong time, which opened the floodgates and was just the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak (I say that as last time I checked, I was not a camel… though I guess things could have changed…. *checks mirror*…. nope, I’m still a Gari-lad… sorry!).

I suppose that today has actually been quite sweet on reflection;  I walked up to Charing Cross / The Strand earlier on my lunch hour to finally pick up a 1st birthday card for my lovely nephew Elliot (who I’ve now nicknamed Elli-Tot – woo, yay me!!)  and all I could see were people being all lovey-dovey, people getting proposed to and hundreds and hundreds of people carrying roses or bouquets – all in all very sweet, very romantic and very much my kind of thing in the right circumstance. 

Got back from lunch to find I’d been sent a valentine’s e-card after all, which was rather unexpected and cheered me up quite a fair bit. Camp Gari surfaced this afternoon and so I had good fun making smutty valentine’s jokes and the like – I am usually in good company for this at work hehe. I even started drawing valentine’s stuff all over my reconciliation work… which wasn’t bestest hehe! Below is a sample of one of the doodles I ended up doing whilst waiting for my reports to run… I have no recollection of doing these, so when I finally called it a day and finished work just after 8pm I was like ‘oh sugar, when did I do all that, and why is it all over my back-up?’ hehe.

Decided to ditch Bridget Jones tonight, there’s such a thing as doing tragic too well and it’s not a catagory that I think I fit into… though it’s tragic that I have to say that and not anyone else…. oh noes, I’m tragic!! Next I’ll be calling myself daggy….. hmmm!

So yes, in retrospect, today has turned out to be an okay day which has had some nice high points, and just the one real low point – so a successful day in my opinion :oD 

Looking foward, I have Sunday and most of next week to fill still – does anyone fancy going for lunch on the Sunday or perhaps doing something during the week?? As Mrs Dolye would say….. “go on, go on, go on”!  

On final note, subscription numbers to my blog are looking good (sincere thanks to everyone who has subscribed!!), I just figured I’d plug the RSS / Email subscription feed a lil more to those of you who look on an ad hoc basis as there’s no harm in doing so hehe!

I am impresssed…. my whole post has now been written and there’s not a sign of any chocolate or gin having been dropped or spilt – yay! More gin to celebrate me thinks! \o/
