The Day Started With A Power Cut,

to be fair we had received a letter from the electricity company a few days before,


which we are now guessing was the notification that it would happen, just a shame we could not read it and I was in the shower, really I kid you not! the fault or maintenance procedure was it appeared on the transformer outside our house,

 he is in there somewhere,

 in the afternoon we were off to Central Festival, 

after parking the bike in the hell hole we made our way to the cinema and bought our tickets, then a look over the bay,

 the sky was more than a bit overcast,

but at least all of the rain had cleared the air so we had a good view, the film we were going to see was Riddick: (Rule the Dark) or some call it Riddick 3, we really enjoyed the previous 2 in the series and this was just as enjoyable, mostly action, too much of it at times as things happened so fast it was difficult to see what was going on, but still a great film is you are a Riddick fan, 

 after the film we decided to eat at the MK restaurant, the restaurant is situated on the floor below the main restaurant area,

 we started with a soup dish,

 then the large plate of crispy pork, duck and red pork,

 along with a few other dishes,

 and a beer,

 Diana also ordered a noodle dish as well as some crab dim sum, but a raspberry slushy instead of a beer,

 at 6.00 in the evening all of the staff at MK dance to the company song,

 it seemed quiet strange the first time we ate here and watched it, but now we almost look forward to the show,

after returning home we decided to watch Dark CityJohn Murdoch wakes in a hotel bathtub, suffering from what seems to be amnesia, as he stumbles into his hotel room, he receives a call from Dr. Daniel Schreber, who urges him to flee the hotel from a group of men called The Strangers, so many questions, why is there no way out of the city? why is it always night? this is a surreal film that I really enjoyed, a much more sinister than Brazil  and a lot more frightening than The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, I loved it, Diana did not, so to round off the evening a few more from Cheers, then for us we were off to bed.
