AntiValentine2018S

AntiValentine2018S
Love has always been a scarce commodity. I mean real love, not blind lust (nice though it is), or the nature-ordained and equally blind impulse to reproduce and care for any ensuing offspring (useful and pleasant as it may be), or greed (neither nice nor useful). Or sentimentality, ersatz romance, religious fervour, or any other of the socially implanted concepts that are peddled as love. One of our most un-favourite mawk-fest approaches so here we are again with our yearly anti-Valentine carnival. We shall NOT be told when or where or how or who to love! Nor shall be persuaded to buy red roses or Belgian chocolates. We do that all year ‘round if we feel like it. We dance where our hearts find us.
But we would entreat you to love your friends and loved ones, if you’re lucky enough to have any, also all year ‘round and to hell with invented traditions. Look after them and be good to one another. And spare a kind thought for them who don’t stand a chance of being loved, ever, either on February 14th or December 25th or any other time of the year: the Palestinians, the Australian Aborigines, the Yemeni, the Syrians, the Libyans, the Chagosians and the murdered women the world over who will never be able to join the “timesup” herd because their time was cut short by some imbecile with a minute brain, a small dick and a massive ego.
The shindig is free for all, no booking needed. Usual times and places (you know the score by now). Goodie bags at the same dead drops as last year but contents to be a surprise. A free copy of Origin of the Family and a “Well Done Laurie Love!” badge to all attending. Free food, drink and shows. This year the Shoggoths have promised to surpass themselves in the spectacle department. As well as the Bach concerts and poetry recitals etc. they are offering a new variety of tableaux: neither vivant nor mourant, they call them tableaux zombie. They refuse to provide more details but, knowing them as I do, I can well imagine. I can’t wait. :-)

Lovely to be catched-uped by you, missus!
You're very kind to my scribbles.☺ Personally I think in this one I've over-overused the word "or", even allowing for some stylistic liberties taken to ram the message home. But, hey, I'm not complaining, you know...
You, too, have a spiffing weekend.

Reading this gives me a warm glow, and I don’t think it’s just the goulash. I shall be buying myself chocolates on the great day. I have stuck by myself for sixty two years! I hope the relationship continues. I’ll see if I can find any poem roses in the gutter to offer you too, Dol as thanks for such heartening words.

Warm glow? You haven't been anywehere near Windscale, recently, have you?
I buy myself chocolate(s) everyday of the week. Or ice cream, if I feel like a wee change.
I beat you in the stick-by-your-self department by 9 years...babycakes.
Anything you rescue from the gutter will be most welcome and duly appreciated. You're very kind.
Wrap well and stay crazy.
