Tonight we are not going off to a romantic dinner for two, but rather out with a group of Matt's lab mates. When Matt inquired as to the lack of Valentine's plans, most responded that their girlfriends/wives had no interest in the holiday.
Even in strolling the market today, while references to Valentine's could be seen, there was no mark-up in the cost of flowers. Not even for a dozen, long-stemmed, red roses - they were still just €8.50 (compared with $50 to $100 in the US delivered).
Unfortunately, this also means there are no heart-shaped Reeses' in stores. I just hope they still have Cadbury eggs at Easter.

Sounds like my kind of celebration.
Have a happy Valentine's day dinner.
Hope you have a good evening out.
In Europe we would bring flowers home every week, just a simple bouquet from the market, but not here, you hardly can pay for them and they are not half as nice.
I forgot how much I love the flower markets there, your photos are great..sigh! In England Easter is as big a holiday as Christmas and people get out of control with giant chocolate easter eggs...and they have cadbury eggs year round...makes up for the lack of Reeses!
