The Date

You know, we haven't had many official dates. The sort where the boy comes up to you and sheepishly asks if you're free tonight and you make him sweat cos you know you won't have many opportunities in the rest of your life to have that kind of power over the man....
Anyway, my husband wandered into the kitchen the other night as I prepared curry (a lovely veggie korma) and asked if I would like to go to the cinema with him - he's so cute sometimes!! Well I said yes, cos I like spending quality time with my man - have I mentioned how cute he is?
[If this was anyone else I'd cynical and say honeymoon period.]

The plan in the became to scoff the curry at high speed (easier said than done) and then head down the road to the cinema (the one we have to pay for you know! Tsk!). The movie of choice was Marie Antoinette and for the first time in a long time we had to queue to get tickets. However, the nice thing about LeisureWorld in Southampton is that they have a Ben & Jerry's cafe :-) All I can say is 'Core Sundae' - well actually I'm going to say more than that. We had a large sundae to share. We got 3 scoops of ice-crean (we went for Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Phish Food and Fossil Fuel) filled will with hot chocolate sauce, covered in mini-maltesers and then topped with whipped cream. Yyyuuuummmmmmmmm!!!

At this point I have to say that for me the sundae was the high point of the evening. I was not that impressed by the movie, I found it slow and I'm not sure what the point was. Were they trying to show Marie Antoinette as completely vacuous or did I miss some underlying message? Anyway, I wouldn't be recommending it to anyone but the sundae was super!
