The most romantic day of the year has come and in Gibraltar it is no exception. This year I left some of the planning a bit late but it turned out to be a nice day anyway. Our first gift to each other was in the early morning when she gave me a box of chocolate letters which spelled Love with I thought was very nice and I gave her a Swarovski box of chocolate which turned out to be filled with Lindor.
At about 11:00 I got a phone call from a very excited girl to say how nice the flowers were which she had gotten at work! And even though she told me not to get her any flowers the night before, she was still happy to get them.
At lunch the plan was to get her gifts ready for the dinner but when I got home our dear pet Buttons was not feeling too well and had not eaten the whole day, poor little guy so I spent my lunch break trying to make it feel better. In the end I had to call the vets to have him checked out.I left work early to take Buttons to the vet and to be honest it went quite well and he was not as sick as I thought he would be, he just had a fever. The vet gave him an injection and some anti-biotic to give to him once a day.
Anyways, we went back home to get ready to go out and also to exchange gifts. My girlfriend went first and gave me mine. I had been a bit curious about it as she had locked herself in the spare bedroom to wrap it up the night before and it took quite a while until she came out. She still amazes me with how original her gifts can be in and in this case again she outdid herself. As she has been helping me to write this blog she has given me a box that every blogger needs - filled with items such chocolate, note pads to write any new ideas down and even writing books. It was my turn to give her gift and it was not as big as my one but she got a Swarovski necklace with a small red, heart shaped pendant.
>We got ready and left for dinner which was going to be at Nunos in the Caleta Hotel. For those who do not about this restaurant it is a Mediterranean restaurant with specialty in Italian food. We were shown to our sea facing table so we could enjoy the view. The food was really good especially, the courgette soup which my girlfriend, Nadia, suggested it should be on the menu and not just an aperitif. The pasta was lovely and quite filling with the sauces that accompanied it, I had wild mushroom sauce and Nadia had 4 cheeses.
Time for dessert came and I decided to go for the cheese board with some port and Nadia had the brownie which was amazing and the vanilla ice cream that came with it just made it perfect.
What a nice way to end a lovely day by having an excellent meal and to enjoy each others company after it at home.
