In 2008 I left my regular job, returned to my roots in Cornwall and began a new life as a writer. I use this blog as a jotter, to have a think about the world around me. Wry smiles, enraged outbursts, laughter and tears: the gang’s all here ...

VD Again
It's here. The first of the year's Megacorp manipulations, as we're induced to demonstrate love and affection for our partners by purchasing hopeless junk.
Valentine's Day - To Do List
Garage
Petrol for shopping expedition.
Bunch of flowers.
Supermarket
Chocolates.
Card with badge, song and arse-clenchingly embarrassing message.
Useless doll.
Fluffy four-foot tall toy animal in lurid pink.
Restaurant
Book table for two (early-bird). Not Indian.
Or instead, maybe the thing to do is have a competition to see which of you can find the most pathetic or stupid VD gift. You'll still have to spend a bit of money on rubbish, but you'll have a great laugh presenting each other with the item you've chosen. I guess it's important to get agreement on this wheeze with your loved one .
