Muffins on Valentine`s Day

Tonight my dear Trude made supertasty chocolate muffins to her ”husband” (that would be me) :) I am really happy for this clear token of her love! Hehe, a little extra fun is needed when you`re sitting indoors all day. You see, today we were strictly told to stay home due to what now just goes under the term “the situation”, and this can easily become a bit boring after a while. This whole week we`ve had instructions not to leave the neighbourhood from the afternoon and out, but today we have been extra careful. It`s been three years since PM Rafik Hariri was slayed, and hundreds of thousands of Lebanese took part in a protest rally in Beirut today. In fear of riots the government had decided that today was a public holyday, and all schools and public offices were closed, as well as many private shops. We were not the only ones who stayed at home, even though many went to the streets to participate in the rally. I woke up this morning to hear shooting outside, but hopefully this was nothing more than one of the Lebanese ways of celebrating a successful speech etc. Inch Allah.. Anyways, I want to wish all my friends and everybody else a cozy night filled with LOVE! Big hug from Beirut!
