In Between Days

Tuesday.

We had a lovely day. 

We went into the city, to meet Sue and go to the Cinema to see The Bride. 

First we nipped to M&S, I wanted some of their good leggings, while I was there I bought that tomato red cardigan I've had my eye on for a while. They only had one left in my size. So I thought if I don't get it now I won't get another chance. It will look great with black trousers and my denim jacket, or over a nice black dress. I've also ordered a black fleece poncho/cape that should come Thursday. I was in need of something I can wear while its this mix of chilly then warm later days,and will carry me through autumn too. Nice plain black leggings and either boots or trainers. 

I am going to thin my wardrobe down a little more, I will basically have just a core of separates that can work together. So a few more things need to go. 

Anyhow, on to the movie, it was brilliant, a completely different take on Frankenstein and his Bride... I loved the fact that the actress who played the Bride also played an unhinged Mary Shelley too. Very clever. I'd say unless you're a purist, you would enjoy this take on the classic horror we all know, it takes a good nod to movies in that genre that have come before, Young Frankenstein, The Rocky Horror Picture Show as well as the black and white Boris Karloff version. Skillfully intertwined with a dash of Bonnie and Clyde. A serious dollop of feminist uprising themes and sprinkles of tongue in cheek humour in the dance routine number. Definitely "putting on the ritz" don't let the critics put a dampener on this movie and put you off, it's worth every minute of the two hour plus run time. All three of came out of the screening entertained. 

Afterwards we went for a late lunch in O'Neil's, Sue and Kev going for the steak sandwich and I had the rump with pepper sauce and fries. This is my weekly treat day, and even then I didn't go mad. I didn't have anything sweet, and just wine and pop to drink. 

We got the bus almost as soon as we left the pub. Sue only had to walk up to her bus stop near Soulville Steakhouse. 

Kev did the washing once we got home, we only had the one bag, so it didnt take long.
