Satuday was National Cinema Day so of course we had to join in on the fun. It was a gloriously sunny day and I was going to do a "double header" by going to see a film in the afternoon and then on to The Equalizer for a 9pm showing. But it was such a nice day, I felt it would be a shame to spend it indoors during the day in a dark cinema. So I went and met up with the Friends of the Grand Canal instead and picked litter. And after that I sun bathed and read in the garden.
The neighbours across the road had set up a lemonade stand to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis so I also visted this and enjoyed a lovely glass of refreshing homemade lemonade and had a chat with neighbours. Such a nice thing to do in the neighbourhood and for such a worthy cause.
And then when Ciaran came home, we decided to go to Farmer Browns in Rathmines for a burger before we went to the showing of The Equalizer.
Farmer Browns was busy but we got a lovely table half in and half outside which was just perfect. Food was great and it all felt very relaxing. We are both not drinking until our holiday so I just had a Coke Zero which Ciaran had water with our chicken burgers.
And then after dinner we walked slowly up the road to the Omniplex for the film, stopping off in the foyer to get some popcorn and a drink. I had booked the tickets a few days ago and had them on my phone - so convenient!
The cinema was packed and I reckon that there was probably only one or two tickets not sold.
Denzel Washington put on a great performance and I really enjoyed the film. And then to top it all off we had a lovely walk home in what was still very pleasant weather at 11pm.
Just a perfect day I think!
