Apparently it was valentines day yesterday and according to Bokker I could have posted for the Vox hunt "Show us love." And for Qotd I could have posted "Who or What do I really love?" Obviously I didn't post about either of these things and posted about a video of cars in Paris, or Top Gear!!!! as Bokker put it in a most outraged tone.

NB for both the Vox Hunt and Qotd yesterday of course I would have posted about Bokker, but she knows that so I didn't. And i don't see me appearing on her blog in answer to those questions.............;-)

Although if Bok had watched the below video all the way through she would have seen it's conclusion is a most romantic meeting of the car driver and his lady on the steps of the Sacre Couer at dawn.........awwww, how romantic.

An earlier post by my lovely girlfriend Bokker started me thinking on the way we behave as we progress through our lives in relation to those who care for us.
When I was a teenager I did not even have the slightest inclination of the way my family; my mum in particular, felt about the mischief I got up to and I certainly caused some trouble. The way they felt did not even enter my mind.

In comparison now I will always - well maybe not when I see an abandoned building with a fire escape to climb - think about how my actions will effect Bokker. This is an awareness that has only developed in my current relationship and I imagine will just grow stronger when I have my own family. Particularly if Bokker were to be the one to stay at home and look after the children and I become the sole breadwinner.

I would then be in a position where the risks I took would have to be carefully considered and the knock on effects of my actions would have to be premeditated so that they would not damage those who love me. I hope my past actions have not already caused such damage.
