Stop at Micro, the little offshoot of Alpha Mega Supermarkets. Large display of Valentine cards as we walk in. Don't seem to have been reduced in price. J asks (me) if they know the day has past. Worse, in the refrigerated display case there are Valentine cakes with cream piping. Must be at least three days old. Also unreduced, although that's not their least appealing quality. 

Also stop at Maris Studio, newly opened in December. Owner artist Maria Aristidou is engaging and the shop funky and fun. Images not exactly original - Mona Lisa, Ellen Degeneris, Peter Rabbit, etc - but work in coffee, and occasionally tea, intriguing. Would it last well?
