Happy Valentine’s Day 2021

Happy Valentine’s Day 2021! Or as It’s called around here, Michael Day 😂

If you’re new or have never noticed, I have always called today Michael Day. This is some crazy tradition that goes all the way back to around 2006.

For some reason back then I decided for a joke that I would call today Michael Day, which is Valentine’s Day to the normal folk. I always remember going out and buying some luxury jeans, which I then turned into a yearly tradition.

It became stale, and then I decided I would do something different, which usually involved making a meal and cooking food. Having wine, and later champagne and chocolates with a film.

That’s kind of stuck, and that’s what I’ll be doing today. It feels weird having the 14th February on a Sunday, but it didn’t happen too long ago. The last time it was on a Sunday was 2016, and looking back that was the year I made home-made gyros. They were epic!

This year I will have chicken wraps, which I regularly eat. It’s the first ever Valentine’s we’ve had in lockdown (hopefully the last) and it’s also on a Sunday so I haven’t been motivated to get any kind of different food.

I have kept with one tradition though, Chocolate Truffles. I got myself a big box of Charbonnel et Walker Dark Sea Salt Caramel Truffles, along with some Bottega Gold prosecco. This prosecco is so nice and easy to drink. I’ve also got a variety of Lindt Lindor chocolates too.

Then later tonight it’s film time, for my ‘once a year’ watch of Valentine’s Day. It had to be done, it’s the tradition 😃.

I hope you have a good Valentines Day!
