We saw a return to Autumn today with wet and chilly weather and this stopped Keith and I from going for a walk. Instead we sat and planned our weekly menu and then went to Tesco to do our shopping.
At 3pm we picked up Sophie from university and went home to get ready for our trip to the cinema in Milton Keynes to see The Martian in 3D.
Sophie had previously read the book so she was very excited about going to see the movie, especially as we'd booked to see it in the 4DX cinema. We had a good trip along the M1 and arrived in plenty of time for the film. Keith treated us to popcorn and sweets and we were soon settled into our big, comfy seats.
I have to say we all thought the film was stunning and the special effects from the seats, the wind machines and the 3D were amazing. I loved the storyline of the film and the nail-biting ending. We all agreed it had been well worth the extra to see it in the 4DX cinema. I just wish we could go every week, especially as there were several films I wanted to see, including The Walk, Everest and the soon-to-be released, Spectre. Getting up close to Daniel Craig would be wonderful!
We had planned to go straight home after the film and have a pizza at home, but it was almost 9pm so after much deliberation we decided to give in to Sophie's pleading and head for Las Iguanas. The restaurant was busier than I imagined it would be but we were shown to a table straight away and Sophie ordered a Mojito to celebrate!
We had a lovely meal - the kids shared three Tapas dishes, Keith had half a chicken while I went for a deliciously spicy chilli with rice and soft tortillas. Sophie and Mike both enjoyed desserts but Keith and I were too full to appreciate anything so we just sneaked a couple of bites of our daughter's Churros dipped in chocolate. It was very late by the time we eventually arrived home but we all agreed it had been a fabulous evening!
