FEBRILE FEBRUARY

Month of love

- – Living

It’s February and time for artistes to release new songs about love or loss. It is also that time when expensive chocolates go on sale; hotels offer the best prices for a five course meal; and shopping malls blind us with paper hearts and glitter confetti – and tempt us with offers we simply can’t refuse.

Perhaps nothing really says ‘I love you’ more than a new pair of ‘his and hers’ silk robes...

In other words, the pressure is on!

Cupid has his arrows flying around and if you haven’t been hit by one as yet, don’t fret… because there’s a way to spend this month of love.

Sip a glass of Cabernet, Shiraz or Merlot; indulge in half-price Guylian chocolates and take a look at the fun activities happening in the world, which you can enjoy from the convenienc­e of your armchair!

Our American friends are gearing up for an epic month of sport. The NFL’s popular Super Bowl is scheduled for 7 February in Tampa, Florida. Get ready to watch the country’s famous wide receivers, linebacker­s and quarterbac­ks fight for the Super Bowl 2021 title.

As intense as these matches may be, they’re not the only thing people love about the Super Bowl.

The competitio­n’s half-time show is one of the most viewed telecasts around the world with musicians taking centre stage to celebrate the games and their favourite teams.

Another fun activity to watch live on the internet is the famous Yukon Quest – a 1,000 mile internatio­nal sled dog race that’s considered an epic winter sporting event, which takes place annually on the first Saturday of the second month. So get ready to catch the adorable fluffy huskies running through the snow on 6 February.

If sport isn’t your thing but you do enjoy the glitter and glamour of Hollywood, the 78th Golden Globe Awards is worth tuning in to. The celebrated show will air on 28 February and be conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wake up early to catch the prime time telecast, and see which of your favourite actors and movies make the cut this time around.

From cute puppies to crazy performanc­es by our favourite artistes, February has something for everyone – whether it’s online or on your flat screen. So cosy up and celebrate the month of love!
