Valentines Day

Happy Valentines day guys!
I just adore the fact that there's a whole lot of love being talked about today.

I looked up some traditions for the day to see what I could learn, check out this wealth of knowledge:
In the 17th century a hopeful maiden ate a hard-boiled egg and pinned five bay leaves to her pillow before going to sleep on Valentine's eve. It was believed this would make her dream of her future husband.
It may also leave her with seriously breath in the morning.

About 3% of pet owners will give Valentine's Day gifts to their pets.
Now I am very much a dog kinda girl but this is as sad as getting excited over an anonymous card that was actually sent by your Grannie every year.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
I'm thinking if you see a magpie you get someone who worked for Enron, if it's a seagull then he'll probably be a politician and if it's a dodo then you get the perfect guy!
I feel sorry for the woman who just got pooped on by a pigeon in Trafalgar Square as I reckon that she's now getting an estate agent!
