Date night

in thoughts •  5 years ago 

Good company, a couple of drinks, great food and a movie spectacular happened last night...No, not Netflix and a packet of corn chips...We went out!

Last night my wife Faith and I went to see the latest instalment of Star Wars. It was a pretty special event as we went to the same cinema that I saw the first Start Wars film in in 42 years ago. You can read about it by following the Star Wars link above if you like.

We went for a meal at Lucky Lupita's a Mexican and Latin American restaurant-favourite of ours. We enjoyed some pretty very good food and I had a couple of drinks, some gin concoction containing gin, apple schnapps, hibiscus essence, lime and lemonade...It was nice, if a little fancier than I would normally drink.

After dinner we took a walk along O'Connell Street for a half hour before heading back to the theatre for the movie which was very good in my opinion. Don't worry, I'm not going to give any spoilers.

It was a fairly late night as we ended up hitting a café after the movie for a coffee and cake [we shared a baked apple cheesecake slice] and headed home around 1am.

I entitled this post date night but we don't really have a date-night-ethos...Every night is date night in my household, just the same as every day is Valentines Day. Life's too short to do that sort of stuff occasionally. Well, that's our take on it anyway.

Today we are off to have lunch with a friend of ours in the city. She's working but has a 90 minute lunch break so ample time to eat, talk some shit, and get back to work in plenty of time. Two of our vehicles need wheel-alignments and balances also so we'll drop them off, go for a walk and then come back to get them...It's all about multi-tasking.

Later that night...Well it's new years eve...We're heading over to my mum in-laws for dinner and to hang out with her. We typically don't go out on new years eve...Too many wankers out there. Besides, it's just another night to us...Doesn't mean that much at all.

Anyway, there's another update on our freestylin' week which has rolled out well. What's happening tomorrow? Couldn't tell you...That's the beauty of freestylin'...Anything can happen.

Sounds lovely, those gin drinks sound very refreshing. I don't like New Years eve anymore, I prefer to stay home then be in bed for 5 past 12. :)

It's unlikely I'll be awake at 12 tonight. I don't see the point. Besides, I'm going hiking tomorrow, early, so want to get enough sleep. NYE means literally nothing to me.

Its boring now, i would rather sleep :)

True dat.

We're having some friends over; the girls don't know it yet, but the lads are going to smash the new Mortal Kombat for a few hours. If they don't want to see disembowellings; they'll have to take their gossip into another room.

Haha...They'll probably gossip about you guys! Oh well, you'll not know...You'll be mortal-combatting. Have a good one.

Sounds like you had a good time. I also enjoyed the movie when I watched it.

I was happy with the story, acting and special effects. Solid 9/10.

Yay for freestylin XD

Glad you had a good night out :)

Yep, was good!

Howdy again sir galenkp! I like the sounds of that gin concoction! And the whole night of course. lol.

It was a nice night and the gin...Not a bad drop. As a person who drinks only a little I tend to savour and enjoy each drink I have a great deal. Had two that night...Both that gin concoction. Want more too.
