Up at eight to get the 9.30 bus, which as usual was late, in fact it got caught in the traffic on the A52 because of two lots of roadworks, one just outside Holme House that we knew about, and one just before Gamston Lock that we didn't.
We got into the city at 10.20 am. And got to the cinema by the skin of our teeth. We waited for Sue and Pete, who were late because their bus was late too. While we waited Kev went and redeemed the free tickets we had ( one set a gift from friends, the other free from Sky) and then we went up to see Stitchhead. Kids animation, but loosely based on Frankenstein ( very loosely!) But funny and entertaining. We enjoyed it. This was the first time we'd been to this version of the cinema since its been taken over by Vue. I was impressed, the cinema as a whole was clean and refreshed decor, the seats were very comfy, reclining and with really cushioned padding. There's a big improvement for me as they have hand rails up both sides so I dont have to sit near the front anymore because I can't climb the steps.
Not many people in, and thankfully none of the kids were screaming.
We came out and caught the tram down to O'Neil's only to find the kitchen was closed. We then went to The Roebuck for lunch. Can't say its changed much, mega busy and the food was a bit meh. Won't be rushing back there anytime soon.
We left Sue and Pete and went to Sainsbury's to get some bits and bobs, walking down to Broadmarsh bus station to get The Cotgrave back home. We got back around three.
