00:07 It's just knowing that you're still in love with each other.
00:10 Yeah, it's a nice way of celebrating isn't it.
00:13 Life's all a bit crazy at times, so I suppose even if it's just one day to say I love you, that's nice.
00:19 Cook meals and things.
00:21 Yeah, we always like to have a meal in really don't we.
00:24 Cook each other a meal and have a box of chocolates, a moody night.
00:30 Yes, we celebrate it. We normally go out for a meal, my wife and I, and give each other a greeting card.
00:39 The day in itself I think goes largely unremarked.
00:43 I think it's a beautiful day for couples to show their little affection.
00:48 That's like bringing flowers, chocolates, who doesn't like it, everybody does.
00:52 And yes, I have had my share of Valentine's Day and it's been good so far.
00:57 So yeah, I think everybody should celebrate and show that little bit of affection to your loved ones.
01:02 It doesn't have to be a partner, but family, friends, anyone you want to show the love.
01:09 We always celebrate it and as it's been said, your partner or loved one, you still care.
01:14 Normally we'd have a drink and some sweet together, don't we.
01:19 Yeah.
01:20 We don't actually celebrate it, although this year we're going to go abroad.
01:25 So that's how we're probably going to celebrate Valentine's this year, which is a bit exceptional.
01:31 Otherwise we don't really do it.
01:34 I celebrate it personally, yes. We will be going up for some PJ's, Merican Diner as well.
01:40 I don't go out, I just eat at home.
