I have to go shopping tomorrow and I don’t want to. This never happens, I always want to go shopping, always.

I have not been well all week and I still don’t feel 100% so I would rather just stay lounging around the house to be honest — I don’t have any money to spend on any thing for me any way so it’s not going to be much fun.

But I need to get some Valentines day gifts — a card for my fiance and a card and gift for someone else.

It’s not how it sounds, there are no romantic intentions there — it’s just as part of a ‘Secret Cupid’ type thing we do.

Oh well, hopefully I can get what I need quickly and then head straight home

My Aunt is a real artsy type, always has been. We were catching up recently and she told me she was really into ‘Rock Tumbling’ at the moment and she and my uncle had had a row about how much she had spent on her Lortone rock tumblers — I just looked blinking at her for a few moments because I had no idea what she was talking about.

Turns out that it is basically putting rocks into a machine and shaping and smoothing them. She made me one to show me, it’s a little blue heart and it is very beautiful — it’s so smooth it actually looks more like glass than stone!
