Happy anti-Valentine's Day

And so another Valentine's Day has come and gone. And to a large extend I think it passed this island by, unlike Tropical Cyclone Bingiza, which made landfall from the east earlier this morning. We are largely protected from the most severe rain and wind because we are inland, but I sure am pleased I wasn't on Ile St. Marie around now...

If I were in South Africa I would have celebrated the day with my Valentine-weary single friends for an "anti-Valentine's Day" party, but being here, Anri and I ended up at the Midgleys for some no-love-lost-here COD shooting, and a slap-up meal of beef, veggies and heavenly ice cream for dessert...

I went to the doctor today and came away with some medication and another appointment tomorrow morning for allergy tests. And now I feel drug-induced sleep coming on. Oh yes, and I did receive two cards - from my Grade 9s and a Grade 7...

Any ladies out there who are interested, take note: "I am a man full of love and (good) personality."

  1. That card is adorable. This post oozes of (good) fun.

    I hope you're feeling better soon.

  2. Hmmm... a man full of love and good personality, you say? Noted!

    No amount of money on the entire planet could ever replace the special cards made by those special children you teach every day. Never take it for granted!

    PS. I was referred to your blog by somebody we both know. ;-)

  5. Laughed out loud (notice my intentional use of real words) at your comment at the end. I'm so glad you're up and about in the land of the living! It sounds like a fantastic Valentine's Day.

  6. @laughwithusblog "Laughed out loud" sounds much more powerful than LOL. I like it!
