Dear B...

Happy Valentine's Day

I will be spending today at the top of a lovely hotel indulging in a champagne brunch with B and our two closest friends in Hong Kong.

I hope you enjoy today with your loved ones; whether it be husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother, friend - of of course - yourself. I've spent many a Valentine's Day with my divine sister, and also alone, with a giant popcorn and a great movie. The perfect day. Comedy of course - not romance :)

Also - Kung Hei Fat Choy, or Happy Chinese New Year!

May the Year of the Tiger bring you love, peace, contentment - and plenty of 'pinch me' moments.

Dear Valentine...

Love.

10 things I love about B...

These are not the only 10, just 10 things I am thinking about today... and they are in no particular order -

1. He is a truly gifted cook (who never uses a cookbook)... I don't even bother entering the kitchen most of the time

2. He's funny - always thinking of a joke to say or do, and they are (usually) funny

3. He has cute highlights in his hair, they suit him

4. He is deeply kind and gentle, he thinks of everyone else first, and I trust him with my life

5. He doesn't snore (very often)

6. I never get tired of staying up past my bedtime just talking to him

7. He never cares what people think and does his own thing

8. He tells the most fantastic stories

9. He is boyishly handsome

10. He leaves me little love notes every morning

He's utterly smotherable!

The man I love....

N.B. He is now a fully grown adult, I assure you!

You can always tell a man by how much he loves his dog.

What I wake up to...

So I've been sick this week, and boyfriend-B's been leaving cute messages on our fridge. He leaves crazy-early and does this a lot.

He's a bit romantic like that.

In Sydney, it used to be little notes and flowers on my car each morning. One morning there was a $10 bill folded into a little note that said "coffee is on me today gorgeous". $10 for a coffee?? He moves in different circles to me, but it was adorable nonetheless.

Now that we don't have cars, (or garages, or houses) he's been writing on our fridge. Here's the one from this morning - I love the sprinkle of sunshine!

In other breaking news, Hong Kong is looking magnificent today, so I'm perking up for a flu-free weekend... yay! B is getting his hair done tomorrow (he turns into a princess once in a blue moon) so I'm going in search of a great mountain hike on to escape the smog and stench of noodles.

Actually... I might head off to get some yummy wonton noodles for lunch! Controversial, I know.
