My weekend

Although I didn’t really do much I had a nice weekend.

I had a nice meal with April, Steve and Jenny on Friday in Wimbledon. We were supposed to go to the Dog and Fox, a recently refurnished non-smoking pub / restaurant in Wimbledon Village but their new booking system didn’t have Steve’s details so we had to find somewhere else. This was annoying as we’d already been stung for the best part of £40 on 8 drinks!

Steve and I had a couple of pints each whist the girls had spirits with a mixer. We were a little late so I only bought the drinks for myself and April. G&T plus a Peroni on tap. £8.15! I’m sorry but that is ridiculous. It was a nice enough pub but come on… there’s no justification to charge that amount, other than your customers can probably afford it. I for one will never go there again.

On Saturday, April cooked me a lovely dinner before we went to the cinema to see Spider-Man 3 (SCMR 17: 64 / 100). I felt the film was not bad at all, in fact exactly what I wanted. Spider-Man is pretty much the gayest of super heroes and parts of the story did wind on, but overall it was not bad and did have one of two funny moments.

On Sunday all I really did was go to the shops and watch a bit of sport on TV. And of course watched 24 which is all coming to a head. Can’t be many left can there…

Yesterday was similar to Saturday where I didn’t leave the house except to go to the cinema, this time with Steve to see Shooter (SCMR 18: 68 / 100). Mark Wahlberg was good but the role didn’t really need much acting. The plot was pretty much a modern day Rambo which can only be good…, the film was overly long which is never a good sign but the action was good and that was why we went to see the film. Again there were a few laughs thrown into the mix which made parts of the film quite light hearted.

Ta-ta for now
