Day 125........a brilliant-fun movie on $5 Tuesday.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

It was a surprise, when Emily Blunt burst into song at the beginning of 'Into the Woods' because I didn't know that it was a musical. Several times during the movie, I wanted to clap because the song had been so good but I managed to remind myself, just in time, that I was sitting in a movie theatre. I won't put any spoilers in here but if you like a good giggle and an even better song, go see these very fine actors who were not afraid to be over-the-top in their performances........especially Chris Pine.
An added bonus was that the movies only cost $5 each, in that theatre, all day on a Tuesday so only $15 for three-yippee. (that's less than a tenner in Scottish money)
Ali says that it was her schools musical theatre show last year. I have never heard of it but if I get the chance to see it as a stage show, I will not hesitate.
After the movie, we were all a bit peckish and went for some food, after stopping in at one of the stores I needed to return stuff to. Fortuitously, the store was just up the street from the movies and we knew that because we've stayed in the area a couple of times, on vacation. I also went into the St Lawrence Market, which is full of yummy deli-type counters and I thought that I may be able to get a steak-pie for todays dinner. No luck  there and subsequently no luck at the places I tried today, either. Seems like steak pie is not a big thing here in Toronto. I have had to go with a Chicken pot pie but it will be yummy. I am also going to make some Mac-cheese because Andrew is keen to taste the new improved version. He can take some leftovers home for tomorrow.
We had planned to go to a mall, on the subway route home but found the Photo-store in the downtown Eaton Centre and so didn't have to go to the Dufferin mall. We had an hour to kill whilst the photos were being developed (it actually took an extra half hour) and luckily it fell in with Andrews break, at Adidas so he popped over to meet us in the foodcourt. We had already eaten but happily sat whilst he stuffed down what looked like a rolled up pizza.
Heading home, I decided that i'd try Costco, to see if they had any steak pies. The girls went home and I enjoyed my solo jaunt, even if it was flippin' freezing and I had no luck in the steak-pie department. I thought about buying beef but couldn't find pastry in either Costco or No Frills and so I didn't. No Frills looked like the locusts had been down the 'pop' aisle and there was no Sprite Zero or Club Soda to be found. There was hardly any 'pop' of any sort on the shelves and I came home with some Sunny D (which the kids loved as a treat when they were younger) and some iced tea.
Jen and Andrew don't drink, so the only alcoholic beverage that needed bought was the wine for me. Cheap night tonight. It would be even cheaper if I was in one of my 'dry' spells-lol.
So, the only thing to say now is that I hope that you all stay warm and safe, if you are out and about this Hogmanay. Those of you, in Edinburgh, will be getting started soon with your celebrating. Enjoy and I'll let you know how this quiet day and night of mine goes...........
.......next year.
Much love is being sent out to all of you, as this 2014 comes to a close.
