Although DH and I don’t normally ‘do’ Valentines Day he did come in\u00a0 this morning with a bunch of red roses, which\u00a0was pretty unexpected therefore, and all the nicer for that.\u00a0 He learned from chatting to the florist that they were grown in Ecuador and shipped, which is amazing,\u00a0but roses do grow perfectly well here – we have some (not red) in our own garden.\u00a0 Out on the beach the past couple of mornings, too, the ‘engravings’ have shown more of the Valentine Day theme, so I thought I’d wish all my readers a happy day wherever you are, and\u00a0 regardless of whatever you do\/don’t do about Valentines Day -and share these pics with you\u00a0. The beach is interesting, being in itself\u00a0a constantly\u00a0changing chart of the mood of the people who use it to loll, walk, sunbathe, swim, run, jog, ride bikes and motorbikes on, make offerings or discard rubbish on (often\u00a0intertwined imho – it can be hard to tell.)<\/p>\n

I can’t\u00a0 believe that as I was about to photograph this in the top pic,\u00a0I stopped and talked to a friend who came along, and in chatting a while managed to blur the outline of the heart on\u00a0it\u00a0– took the pic anyway…. and in the one further down with big lettering ‘Gaby te amo’ means Gaby I love you – several such declarations on the sand this week.\u00a0 It’s not just this week, but there are just more than usual.\u00a0 There were one or two dead chooks yesterday, so although the offerings have eased off a bit, they will appear from time to time.\u00a0 Avagoodvalentinesday as they might say in\u00a0 AUS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
