Valentine's Day - Bah Humbug

 You will be unsurprised to know that Mr Glis and I don’t “do” St Valentine’s Day.  In the dim and distant past, we may have exchanged a card but that was an awfully long time ago.  And it’s not because I lack romantic notions; it’s just that I don’t believe February 14th is the time for them.  Like so many other festivals, Valentine’s Day has been overtaken by modern commercialism, and that is Not A Good Thing.  Now, it’s all about tasteless, grand gestures with the concept of a simple, affectionate love-token sent to your special person, consigned to history.
