The last day (for me) off work; the boys have another day before lessons commence; but still it was yetanother non day. 

She had already announced her intention to WFMH (M = my) on Monday and then decided that instead of getting up at the crack of dawn, She'd make a night of it.

Once in, Ialready had a card at the ready and managed to knock together a chicken thingy from Sabrina Persiana author - her recipe is with pork, but I used chicken and added curry powder, garlic, paprika, thyme, scotch bonnet, half a dozen tomatoes and some all spice. 4 hours later.... mmmmmm! Oh and a choc / pear pudding - the squidgy one. Not quite the Valentine's Day youd ideally want but when all said and done we got to spend time together, so I'll mark that up as a win.
