RDO

Normally my rostered day off (RDO) includes running errands whilst stopping by relatives and friends places for a quick catch up.
If I get the chance for some quiet in the day I like to go outside and spend a few hours with my adorable border collies - definitely something I wish I could do more often.
There's something about rain and dirt that they love so much and something about not having pets (especially hilariously filthy ones) inside a rental property that makes it so difficult. Haha.

Today was a bit different though and I was fortunate enough to spend a nice relaxing day and night with the partner (let's call him R). Hooray!

First we slept in until about 10am!
Look at that I remember the days I used to think that was an early wake up and now I struggle to stay in bed until then without feeling groggy with a dash of headache.

Once we pulled ourselves out of bed (and by we I mean myself - I just like to roll around the bed and tangle myself in the doona and sheets and stretch like a cat after a 12 hour slumber) breakfast was had and the teeth were brushed.

The cinema was practically empty apart from a handful of people including the 2 staff members serving at the candy bar.
I didn't take too much notice of them as I had R's full attention.
Not something many couples get whether there's a hobby, house mates, children etc so it was nice for us to be doing something together instead of just errands ☺️

Probably shouldn't mention that I snuck in half a bag of malteasers (probably a third of the price they charge) a packet of Tim Tams (An Australian favourite that they don't even sell so I figured that one was reasonable) and 2 Caramello Koalas?... - which are still in my bag.. For now haha - I felt pretty ninja sneaking them in but I guess it helps there wasn't even a guy to check our tickets before we walked in haha.
It did amuse R that I managed to hide so much junk food in such a tiny satchel as well as the fact I'm never out of any snacks and always seem to have something ☺️

The new Xmen movie was absolutely amazing with the perfect balance of action and comedy, portraying characters rather well in my opinion (still wanted to know when they would introduce the Scarlet Witch alongside Quicksilver but I could settle with what I got)
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good marvel movie - just don't sweat staying for both the credits with only 5 seconds of guys in suits. - spoiler alert?

After leaving the movies we were feeling pretty hungry (our snack supply was low and we needed a more filling fuel up) so we headed out for Pasta Cup and got ourselves the largest tub of our preferred dish. Leftovers for days!!
Pasta Cup throws a few ingredients in with a pasta of your choice; sauces being from a creamy carbonara to a nice red spaghetti bog and everything in between.
It can be on the pricey side rounding about the $15 mark per person but you also get some yummy dipping bread with a tub of fart cheese (Parmesan) and stretches for a meal or two - in my case probably three! Haha.

We came home watched our weekly dose of supernatural and another few shows before I scared him away with the snapchat filters which I have been completely guilty of indulging in!

We showered and now are relaxing while he plays his new game and I type this using my phone because my 5 year old laptop is struggling to even load pages... Oh woe is life haha 😅👌

We will be heading out soon to pick up a mate from work to take him home then returning to our peaceful home again to rest before I leave for work tomorrow.

Any ways if I do end up proof reading and posting this hope you enjoyed my novel telling you just about R and I going to the movies 😋✌️
