Wicked for Good - Cinema night

Normal day’s work — nothing much to report. I got dinner on the go earlier than usual because we were heading out in the evening.

Once Tash was home and ready, we made our way over to the Vue at the Kassam, meeting up with Mum and Charlotte to watch the second Wicked film (Wicked for Good). There were only about ten people in the whole screening, and even the car park was practically empty — I don’t think I’ve ever seen it that quiet before. Feels a bit of a sad state of affairs for the place.

We really enjoyed the first Wicked film, and this one was just as good. Really well put together, beautifully performed, and just very, very enjoyable overall. All of us loved it. Made me think we should make the effort to go to the cinema more often — especially when it’s only about £6.50 a ticket.

Said our goodbyes afterwards and headed home, where we watched another episode of Mr Mercedes, the Netflix series we’ve just started. Really getting into it, but only just realised there are three seasons of ten episodes each — so we’re definitely in for the long haul!

Reflections:
A simple day overall, but a really nice evening out. It’s easy to forget how much I enjoy going to the cinema, especially when it’s quiet and you can properly sink into the film. And it was good spending time with Mum and Charlotte. The little routines — dinner early, a film, then an episode of a series at home — end up making a day feel surprisingly satisfying.
