First Time In A Long Time...
Sep. 26th, 2014 11:38 pm11:14pm: I've been to a movie. But it was a good choice what with Colin Firth been in it, also I got to have a small popcorn, yummy! Oh and the two for one deal, too, so I got to go with Mum.
Anyway, it was any rather good movie, although Colin Firth might have been channeling Mr Darcy a bit too much at the ending. However...I do love Mr. Darcy so that's not a real downside, LOL. Although I wasn't entirely sure what the message of the movie was meant to be, but then maybe it didn't have one, not all movies are deep an meaningful and all that. It was set in France, although there was only one instance of a person speaking French in it! But then as Mum pointed out a lot of English and American people holidayed in France in the late 20s which was when the film was set.
So yes, an enjoyable evening to add to a successful day what with having to pick up Dad from his doctor's appointment and taking him to Aldi before heading to the library. However, I think I need to hide Dad's advice about putting the parking break on when stopped at traffic lights for a fair amount of time, because my legs hurt now. Although, I guess that could be because that time o' the month is coming, damn hormones.
Also, I'm not actually reporting from the parental abode because a cleaner is coming there tomorrow at 8:45am and be damned if I'm waking up that early on a Saturday! Plus I bought some stuff at Aldi - including a mop and bucket that would have been quite hard to get home on the bus which was the original plan. So Mum kindly went via the parental house for me to pick that up before dropping me off here at the Granny Flat.
The only thing I haven't done today is have a decent dinner, bit late for that now though, so instead I'll just do the Memes and wrap this up.
Follow Friday Four Fill-Ins
The statements:
1. I was 8 years old when I first starting writing stories, good times, good times.
2. Green grapes are my favourite fruit.
3. The extra daylight is my favorite part of summer
4. Reading helps me relax.
The (Other) Friday Five
1. Have you ever finished eating in a restaurant, and you realized you forgot your wallet? Thankfully no! I have arrived at a restaurant and stood in line only to discover just before being served that I've forgotten it, and that sucks.
2. Have you ever eaten something that you thought you wouldn't like, but found out that you actually liked it? Well, I have been to an African restaurant and a Thai one where I found I quite enjoyed the food, much to my surprise!
3. How do you handle an obnoxious diner? I'm relieved to say I've never encountered one.
4. Would you tip differently for fabulous service and marginal food or marginal service and fabulous food? Well, as an Australian it's not actually necessary to tip, although it is polite, but I'm not what you'd call a big tipper. I probably would tip in both those situations, I only wouldn't if the service was really bad or the food tasted like crap.
5. How often do you go out to a real restaurant? I am poor and quite boring so not a lot. Like...once every three months, maybe less.
Righto, the Friday5 seems to have disappeared for good, which is terrible! I really liked that one, but there's not much one can do I guess.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Goodnight all!
