You know those Spring days when the sun is shining and it looks glorious outside? Yesterday was one of those. You also know those spring days when you actually GO outside and the wind chill factor is approximately a bajillion and you spend all day freezing to death in your inappropriate clothing?

Do you think there’s a point where I’ll own enough clothing with Cocktails on? At the moment I’m thinking not.

Well, that’s Valentines Day done for another year. Valentines Day is the weirdest of “holidays”. I am a person who will scour the world for obscure things to celebrate. So far this year I have celebrated not only the boring old regular New Year, but also Russian New Year and Chinese New Year as well
