I'm not sure anybody in an actual relationship does Valentine's Day.

There are a few hopeless romatics left in the world John. I have never forgotten to surprise my wife on Valentine's Dat (33 year streak) and she has never rembered that we celebrate it.

Missus is in UK, so I should be free. Wasn't it chocolate related items that derails last attempt? Risking i for day notoriously associated with Chocolate

count me in if you have the room - we don't do "that day" either. I could probably set up a zoom link for you to send, using work's version which seems to not have issues and can deal with the number of heads. I use it for strata meetings with no problems . . . . . .

Mrs W and I have never been concerned about That Day.

I'm in. May have to buy free time with extra flowers and chocolates.

If it's Valentine's Day maybe we should read something warm, fuzzy and lovey-dovey like A Girl in Time or The Golden Minute by noted romance author <checks notes> John Birmingham... 😇
