The delightful Ms James and I spent a wonderful afternoon full of excitement last Thursday. I booked a half day off work (thank god for flexi, it’s amazing!!) We met down Cardiff Bay cinema but it was too early to book any tickets. We headed off for food in Strada. This is one of my favourite places to eat and they were doing a lunch time special as well. Ms James and I both went for the Risotto Fungi, it was delightful and tasty, it was cooked perfectly and cream, lovely and filling.
We got back to the cinema and booked our tickets, however we were too early to go in so we had to wait around. With that the lure of the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream got us and we were drawn in. I had Fairly Nuts which is a caramel ice cream with a praline almond cluster and caramel swirls; I have to say it was very yummy. Whilst getting out Ice cream I managed to glance around only to see an ex boyfriend standing there with his date. Ms James and I deduced it was a date and a second one at that as there was a certain level of familiarity about it but not so much as he was sure what to do, this made us laugh. He was doing his nervous head scratching thing too, and kept waving his one arm around her back but not touching her as he seemed unsure whether to or not. Also he had made an effort and she looked like she just rolled out of bed and put on the clothes that just happened to be hanging around, maybe not that into him. She seemed normal enough though. We stood back and laughed, I am sure he must have noticed me. I would have thought that would be quite a bad thing to come across, you’re on an afternoon second date with a girl and bam there’s your ex in the same queue for the refreshments. No eye contact was made so didn’t have to say hello or acknowledge him, which of course I would have said hi, no need to be rude bwhahahahahahaha.
Our entertainment filled the time before taking our seat in the cinema. We went to see the Muppets and were quite pleased that there weren’t many people in there. I have to say this film was brilliant and we loved it. It was a really good feel good film and you left feeling happy and joyous. It didn’t even bother us when a child was running around the cinema with flashing shoes on. We weren’t even the odd ones out in there having no children with us; there was an old couple there too which was sweet to see.
We left the cinema in high spirits and thought we would enjoy our afternoon more heading back to mine and opening a bottle of the old vino. Still very full from our amazing lunch we didn’t feel like any tea (MISTAKE NO.1). After seeing our way through that bottle, we thought this is a really lovely evening lets pop to the shop and get some more wine (MISTAKE NO.2). On getting to the shop we see that the wine if on offer RESULT and decide to buy two bottles. We get them back to mine and put on a bit of Iron Man 2 in the background just purely to drool over. As usual our conversations end up quite random, but that is what we love and we start making wild plans.
All of a sudden it’s half 11ish (I am guessing as I am not quite sure), and the two extra bottles of wine are gone (MISTAKE NO.3). I say good bye to Ms James and remember I must go to bed; I have work the next day (MISTAKE NO.4) and are driving up after work to see the fantastic Mr Bus. Well with all those mistakes its no wonder when the following day came I didn’t feel so chipper and thought I would feel rough all day so armed myself with a can of coke a coffee and a sausage and egg mcmuffin. Much to my delight my hangover was gone by 11am woop woop and I enjoyed a fabulous weekend with Mr Bus.
