Mowing the heart


Mistresses around the country were peeved that Valentines Day was a Sunday this year.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, men are more likely to send flowers to their mistress than their wife but of course they can't send them to their home. So, as Valentines was a Sunday, florists had a quiet Valentines this year.

Well we had a quiet one too. I don't have a lover on the side so it made no difference to me, besides I work from home so even if it had been a weekday and I did have a lover, I couldn't have received flowers.

I mowed a love heart in the snake friendly grass for Simon.


He said he had thought of mowing I Love You in the grass for me but then I beat him to it so he had no way of honouring our love. That's ok.

I spent the first few years of our relationship being romantic and resenting him for not. Then I became listless, still resenting him for being unromantic.

Now I've decided I'm just going to be romantic in my own way and do it because I want to and try to resent nothing at all. Because at the end of the day I love him and he loves me and he's lovely, so things could be a lot worse. Better to do it without creating dramas.

He's just a head on his shoulders kind of man.

Who's making a feature film later this year.

Which happens to be a romantic comedy.
