Nice Night Out

Yesterday was my last working day of 2007, I know some of you think I don't actually go to work as often as a full time worker should - but...

The Late guys came in two hours later than normal, and Angela and I left approx 2 hours earlier than normal, so I was home, washed, changed and ready to go out again by 16:00.

Amanda's mom had picked up the kids earlier in the day, and was not bringing them back till Saturday afternoon, so a night to ourselves ;-)

Our first stop was Frankie & Benny's where we had a very nice meal - service was a little slow, but the food was excellent, and the place was rammed!

Next - Currys, The Epson Photo 950 has finally been retired, two cartridges are now reporting empty again and I an not prepared to wait over a week for delivery from a few online sources, and pay £11 a colour anymore.  I now have a nice, simple, Canon Pixma iP3500 (£55).  It's installed and a test page has been printed - first reaction- set up/warm up time is slow, but the printer itself is very fast.  No idea on Photo Quality yet, but I very rarelt print photo's at home anyway.

Final stop of the evening, the cinema.  We went to see the new Will Smith film "I am Legend" - really enjoyed it!
From the Digitalspy.co.uk review
Smith conjures up enough laughs, drama and old-school action in this one-man show so that the cinema cash tills will keep ticking over nicely this Christmas. Audiences will lap up the special effects and amazing shots of a desolate New York, but at the same time they certainly won't be thinking of the film's various subtexts after they've made it out of the theatre's front doors. It's a better-than-average blockbuster, which sweeps around some large ideas and interesting themes, but never delves for long enough to make this film a true classic.

Overall - a really nice night out.
