A date with a mate.....

Today I had two dates. The first was with my old lady friend. We both went shopping. Thankfully she was feeling up to going out today. We had a lovely afternoon. 


I got home at 6pm and a few minutes later Kristian and the rest of the gang arrived. It was straight into the kitchen to make dinner. I had a quick dinner planned so by 6.30pm everything was ready. After dinner I left the kitchen mess for Kristian and the kids to clear up and went and got ready for my date with my mate - Laura H.  


We had planned to go to our local cinema to see "The Help". Laura was coming to pick me up at 7pm - the film started at 7.30pm. Now there is something you need to know about our local cinema. There  is usually, on a good night, 15 people there, so when Kristian asked us if we had reserved tickets we looked at him like he was a crazy man, shook our heads and laughed saying "Kristian it´s the local cinema, on a Tuesday night in November!!!"  and off we went.


Well, what a shock we got!! Driving past the cinema there was a queue right outside the door. We both started to scream! Where did all those people come from? There is NEVER that many people in our local cinema!!! We were in a panic - WE HAD, AFTER ALL, NO RESERVATIONS!!!!


We quickly parked the car and ran over to the cinema and stood for about 20 minutes in the queue before we finally got in. We asked for two tickets. "Do you have a reservation?" the lady asked. You know our answer!! "Oh I don´t think we have any seats available!" You should have seen Laura and I - talk about disappointed, it must have been written all over our faces so the lady decided to check to see what she could find. She found us two seats but they were in the very front row! We didn´t care, we were desperate so we took them.



What a brilliant film!! Totally loved it! Totally me! Totally recommend going to see it! Can you tell that I totally liked it?


While we were out at the cinema Laura´s daughter was here visiting Leah. We thought the film would finish at about 9.30pm but when we got out of the cinema the time was 10.15pm!!! We couldn´t believe where the time had gone.  Once again we were screaming and running, this time it was to get home to get the kids off to bed! Once at our house there were no long goodbyes. Laura and Mia were quickly out the door and Leah quickly got ready for bed. 


It has been a really great evening! (Thanks Laura!) 


Oh yeah something very important to report...When we got out of the cinema this evening we discovered that there was ice on the windscreen - I think that´s the first night frost. Winter is coming:-)
