I make no apology for the fact that this is one of my all time favourite tunes - it just so happens to be aptly named bearing in mind that it's Valentines Day!
ABC - The Look of Love ...
Released in 1982 from the album The Lexicon of Love - what an album - remember Poison Arrow, Tears Are Not Enough and All of My Heart? (obviously I'm addressing that question to those of you who, like myself, are slightly more long in the tooth!) I had this album and it's disappeared ...
Ok so the video is a bit weird but I just love this track, it takes me right back to my (very) early New Romantic times and always makes me smile when I hear the opening sax ...
We don't really do Valentine's Day me and the hubby but I was rather surprised when he arrived home yesterday with flowers (I did point out that it wasn't Valentine's Day!) - a nice surprise it was anyway! Maybe there's romance in the old dog yet - or maybe it's because he has several football matches coming up that he wants/needs to attend! So in return I've bought him a couple of Buds, some sausages and profiteroles - what more could a man want!
Spot the dog snout at the bottom of the pic having a sniff - always trying to get in the act isn't he?!
We're staying in tonight and cooking our sausages! What are you up to?

My hubby arrived home tonight with a tub of Laura Mercier body soufflé - we dont do valentines either , but I wont say no to the odd present every now and then! I think he realised what a rubbish time it's been ! Tonight I'm in bed by 8.30 catching up on my blog reading! x
ReplyDeleteBless you Claire, you must be exhausted - hope everything is ok xx
DeleteFlowers and champagne for me. Offered to take me out but I said no- overcrowded and mediocre food. We'll go out tomorrow evening instead.
ReplyDeleteLove ABC, they are from Sheffield, my home town and I often use to see Martin Fry around the City Centre in a long coat. He was beautiful!?!?!
Don't blame you Donna - and yes I've seen old Martin around now and then! xx
DeleteWe're not big romantics either. And the Grumps is under instruction not to ever buy me flowers on Valentines day - but he can the week after when the prices go back down. If he wants to ... if he remembers.
ReplyDeleteI have pointed this out to the hubby in the past Sue but he seems to have forgotten on this occasion! x
DeleteLovely flowers, the colours are so pretty! X
ReplyDeleteWe only go as far as buying each other cards, we don't really believe in buying into the hype that is valentines day. Hubs did take the day off and we stayed in snuggled on the sofa watching The Bridge. but that was more related to the weather than the fact it was VD lol! x
ReplyDeleteAh gorgeous Jenny! I got some gorgeous purple & red tulips & a gorgeous antique cake stand I spotted in a local shop! Hubby bartered them down Tunisian style & brought it home in a Tesco carrier bag! Lol! Its all good! Ax
