While I love to think of myself as a hopeless romantic, I didn’t take Janis out for dinner or bring her flowers for Valentines Day. While I did bring her a few of her favourite chocolates, she appreciated it more that I did ‘normal’ things. Janis is a practical person. As is important every day to show my love, I did my chores such as making sure the dishwasher was empty. As a bonus I brought her a lunch in bed as we had slept in very late. Then I went out to the shop to work on a small project which has been languishing for years as we decided how to tackle it. The vent grills in the ceiling of the living/dining room area have been missing since we built the house some years ago. Janis does not appreciate surprises, so in the last few days we had settled on a final design and I did up a test panel to make sure all was good. Today, I fired up the router to create the actual panels at long last. They brought an appreciative smile to Janis’ face and she rewarded me with a lovely butterfly kiss. Happy Valentines Day!
