Love To Love In Gov'

And so the year rolls round. The Christian calendar is now ably marked by the Muslim shopkeepers of the Govan Road card shop.

Let's follow 2010's progress - we're a bit late in starting, but will begin with St. Valentine's Day, February 14th.

The window is suffused with red; furry hearts, teddies, and red, red roses with plastic raindrops on the silken petals for the one you love. There are cards of every size for wife, husband, girl/boyfriend, my fiance(e), someone special, even one for your mammy??? Rampant commercialism goes beyond it, again.

Always a good month to buy your calendar and diary as they drop to at least half price and you've only missed 4 weeks or so.
