Had a bit of a drains issue this morning. Toni had a shower and noticed that the water was draining out fast enough and was causing a mini flood in the bathroom. Turns out we have a stupid drainage system in our shower. It's stupid because you can't actually get access to the full waste pipe without some major deconstruction so it's impossible to try and stick anything down it if there's a blockage. I resorted to using a combination of 1 part baking powder to 2 parts white vinegar for an impressive bit of bubbling. Two kettles of hot water later and things seemed to be flowing better. Hopefully it will last!
Breakfast was consumed at a respectable 15:00 as we couldn't be bothered to forage around for anything in the house. A large omelette for Toni and a Burger Tall Town for me hit the spot.
Once we had returned home Toni noticed that our back garden has been invaded. We have a triffid style penis plant lurking being a large bush! Or something like that!
A nice cup off tea and feet up and it was time to watch Iron Man 3. It's a lot darker than the first two films but still classic Iron Man nonetheless with some humour lurking in unexpected places. Fantastic film, really, really good!
So coming up soon we have Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier not to mention Avengers 2. To top it all off I have just found out that there are plans for Iron Man 4 and 5 as well as Avengers 3. Marvel are really on a roll now. Oh, and The Wolverine is out soon too! Geek heaven! Gah and I forgot Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Guardians Of The Galaxy! Not wanting to miss out on the DC action we are planning on going to see the latest Superman reboot Man Of Steel soon. There is also the upcoming Justice League film to look forward to not to mention rumours of Wonder Woman, a Green Lantern reboot, The Flash, Aquaman and Suicide Squad too. Plenty there to keep the DC fan happy, let's hope they all get the green light.
Being on a bit of a comic book roll I decided to drag out Watchmen next. It's quite weird being reminded of a time when the US/Soviet nuclear war threat was a genuine concern for the world. That stuff seems like such a long time ago now. Watchmen is a fantastic film though and great adaption of the comics. Speaking of which, I'll have to dig out my copy and read it again!
...and so we rolled on. We finished our day with a lovely prawn curry and another comic book related film.
Green Lantern was our final destination. The boys had returned by this point and Sam was totally disgusted that I wanted to watch it but we did anyway. I might be going against popular opinion here but I actually like this film. It could have been a lot worse but could also have been much better. Perhaps they can rectify things if the rumoured reboot actually happens.
