Present, cafe, Venom and Bella Italia

To celebrate Sam's Creation Day there was time off work. We kicked the day off giving Sam his present, a full collection of Beefeater cow plates.

He loves the one of these that we have so we decided that we'd get him a full set that he can take with him when he finally decides it is time to move out to his own place (and no, it wasn't a hint!).

We then headed to Miggi's, picking up Jade en route, to enjoy a lovely breakfast. We also had fun playing Zombie Dice while we waited.

After the foods Jade went off to do her own thing and Toni, Sam and I headed to Bexleyheath Cineworld to go and see Venom. We hadn't heard good reports about the film but decided to give it a go anyway.

I am pleased to report that the film was pretty good. It was visually stunning and Tom Hardy was great as Eddie Brock struggling to cope with the existence of the symbiote Venom. I have no idea why the film was lumped in with the likes of Catwoman and the Fantastic Four reboot as it was way better than that. It carried a little of the expected Marvel humour (despite this being a Sony film). I would advise you all to ignore the reviews and give Venom a shot. If you do then make sure you stay to the end to get not only a hint at what's next in the Sony Spider-Man villains films but also for a fun segment of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (an animated film due out in December).


After the film we popped into Bella Italia for a Creation Day meal that was absolutely delicious.
