All Day at Chermside (or aka We had a movie Date!)

Easter Monday Holiday was a day that we got to spend with just ourselves. Between Uni, Moffat & the kids, we really cherish these days! So, we decided to go out for brekkie and then I would get my nails done while Dean had a browse around our favourite shopping centre.

Well, we had a delightful brekkie together at Toscani's - which is not overly great, but a good staple. Our choices from the menu (Mediterrenean Breakfast & Mixed Berry Pancaked) were just fantastic, though. Plus, we had really nice coffee's - Hazelnut Latte for me and A Kahlua Cappucino for Dean.

We ended up tooling around all the shops just browsing at nothing. Well, ok. Not nothing. Toys for Hunter and Poppi. Partially because Hunter has obliterated his little trike, partially because we started out looking for pressies for Janine's little one and then got distracted. And of course, we had to pop into Kikki K. We always have to go to Kikki K. (Judith-Ann should have never introduced us to the joy that is Kikki K products.)

But, what was different this mindless trip (besides the fact that we were there ALL day) is that we had a little unexpected movie date! We went to see 300. An Australian actor, David Wenham, narrates and is a lead character in the film.

We both like the historical epic-type movies, so needless to say, we loved it! Highly recommended. Well, not recommended if you have an aversion to blood or violence. But, then again, if you did have such an aversion, our review of a movie about a war would be pointless.

Ah well. :-)

We saw 300 a couple weeks ago, and I agree - it was fantastic!! Glad you guys got an unexpected date! :)
