Breakfast, Bowling & Burgers.....A Valentines Love Story

Today started with an incorrectly timed dentist appointment, it was at half past 8, and we all know there is only one time of the day that you should make that particular visit

After a couple of hours to allow the anaesthetic to wear off a little it was time for a Valentines Day breakfast.

My date was a little older than me, a little shorter, not quite as good looking and could probably have done with a shave but hey he's a good mate and we both had the day off so what better to do than go for breakfast and then a movie

The choice of film was 'A Good Day to Die Hard'. It has been panned by critics and slated by viewers, so we knew it was going to be the perfect Bruce Willis production. It won't set the world alight, but is still worth a watch and is an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours

When we were en route to breakfast, a discussion was had that it may appear that we were lovers on way to a romantic breakfast. My mate suggested that in fact it would be obvious that we were having a lads brekkie before taking our respective other halves out later on, so that's what I did

Some people have accused me of being tight in the past, in fact my nickname among some people is actually 'Blackheart'. I wholeheartedly refute this accusation and I reiterated my thoughts on this to Jacqueline as we started our game of bowling.......paid for using a '2 free games' voucher......oh!

Still to make up for the possible show of scrimp, I did the only decent thing a loving husband can do.....I won the bowling

This would be a good time for any unlucky ladies to look away, as I don't want you becoming any more jealous of my blessed wife.
We followed the bowling with a romantic dinner for two...and she could even have had fries with it. She didn't get a free toy, but it was still a happy meal.....'happy meal'.....get it......we had KFC*

The halogen lit dinner was followed, and the evening concluded, by a trip to the cinema (my second of the day for those counting). This time it was to see 'I Give it a Year' a new British comedy.

I would highly recommend this film......predictable, cheesy, even a little crude....is how most people would describe me, and I think this is why I loved the film so much

So my wife didn't get flowers, but instead a wonderful evening with a wonderful man...........Me!

I should probably be off to bed now, since there's still half an hour of valentines day left, wink wink, I'm kidding, she's asleep....stop it

So I'll leave you with a few pictures. An unfortunate spelling mistake, a great offer from Ikea...and a sign of the times

Bye bye for now
