Happy Valentines Day!

Yes, it's that lovely, overly mushy and commercial day of the year again. I hope the silence from the male members of this blog today mean that they are out treating their beautiful wives to a special evening.

As the single member of this crew I am left to hold down the fort. And so I present to you the most romantic story that I've heard in a long, long time.
The embracing male and female skeletons, which are estimated to have been buried 5,000 years ago, were unearthed last week in Italy. The chief archiologist on the dig was quoted as saying,
"It's an extraordinary case," said Ms Menotti. "There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging - and they really are hugging," she told Reuters news agency.
"I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites, but I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special," she said.
I don't know about the scientific excitment that this is causing but it certainly makes my romantic heart go "awww".
Now go enjoy your chocolate and flowers!
**check back later for a Grammy round-up . . . who won and (more importantly - to some) what they were wearing
nothing quite says love like a skull and crossbones.
