Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today is our third anniversary. Or, perhaps, our eleventh anniversary. We went through our Civil Partnership three years ago today after what Ethel calls “an 8-year courtship”.

Unfortunately, I still feel like hell, so we didn’t celebrate too much. I sat in the chair in the living room drinking orange juice and watching things like “Unsolved Murders”. I didn’t shower until 6 pm (I felt so slovenly…) Then we went to The Well and had our Valentine’s Day dinner. Home for some decaf and tiramisu.

Then we listened to some Ella Fitzgerald singing tunes by Gershwin, which really set a lovely tone for the end of the day.

In honour of Valentine’s Day, you must read this blog post by . It says exactly what I would like to say about marriage and make sure you’ve got a Kleenex handy.

In other news, I have finally gotten my ISEB Practitioner’s Certificate in Software Test Management. I did OK (did not get a distinction, but that’s OK) and now have three certificates to hang up on the wall. Now I have to make sure that everyone knows I have it (change the CV, add it to LinkedIn, etc. etc. and so on and so forth). Took ’em long enough to mark it, but that’s OK.

Tomorrow it’s Eucharist, then lunch with our friend , who is down again from Edinburgh with a picture of himself in his new kilt. He does not yet have the courage to wear it as the Scotsmen do.

As our own dear Queen might say if she had a Valentine’s Day televised message: “A very heppy Vellentaynes Dey to yew awl,”
