Valentine's Day
What a load of nonsense Valentine's Day is. I'm not just saying that because I'm a perennial singleton. I think increasingly more and more people are cottoning on to this fact anyway. It seems now to be little more than a theme for journalists to write lifestyle content around.
I don't really remember many Valentine's Days apart from the one where I went to see The Muppets* alone during half term and wiped away tears in the darkness surrounded by children who were enjoying it on a different and altogether more healthy level. Life's a happy song when you've got someone by your side to sing along. The Muppets are right, like they're right about most things. It's easy to believe in other people, but at some stage you've got to believe in yourself.
It did amuse me today when I noted that the three guys in front of me in the queue at Waitrose at 6pm all had bouquets of flowers in their baskets. Cutting. It. Fine.
*People are very sniffy about the sequel, "Muppets Most Wanted". I thought it was fun. Although it's reasonable to suggest that a Siberian gulag shouldn't appear in a family film.
