valen-whatnow-tine?

All you need is love,
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need.


So love makes the world go round? Indeed since the times of Petrarch's struggles with his overwhelming love for Laura there seems to be more art made, more poems written, more songs sung, on the topic than any other imaginable.
Forget about the heartache it can bring because today is love day. Love a lub dub... Now call me cynical but I'm actually quite opposed to the whole notion of Valentines Day; I think if you're really in love with somebody then you ought to let them know through small, thoughtful everyday things, or express your affection those times when you get a resurgence of your passionate emotions, and not just because Hallmark says you should spend a lot of money buying x, y and z on this specific day to show how you feel.

But in the spirit of things... isn't it lovely?...


and then for the lovely loners of us:
