Valentine's Greetings

Wishing Everyone a Sunny Valentine's Day

If you'd like to learn something about a completely different Valentine than whoever the saint was who gave name to this day, I propose a visit to the Valentine's Day post at my blog Through My Spectrespecs, about the 16th century Benedictine monk and alchemist Basil Valentine. 

Some people say that love is all about chemistry.

Others might say it's all about alchemy!

Valentine's Day

It's really not fair to let Valentine's Day fall on a Saturday, when no post is delivered! Here's a special Valentine's quote for anyone else who didn't get a card today:

(Picture from Harry Potter Wiki)

'Happy Valentine's Day!' Lockhart shouted. 'And may I thank the forty-six people who have so far sent me cards! Yes, I have taken the liberty of arranging this little surprise for you all - and it doesn't end here!'

Lockhart clapped his hands and through the doors to the Entrance Hall marched a dozen surly-looking dwarfs. Not just any dwarfs, however. Lockhart had them all wearing golden wings and carrying harps.

'My friendly, card-carrying cupids!' beamed Lockhart.
