Rendezvous

It was another busy day at work today. However I have taken tomorrow (Friday) and Monday off for my annual leave as a kind of Easter break, so I get a four day weekend.

This afternoon I managed to get a couple of free tickets to a preview of the 3D film Coraline. I'm actually really glad about that because I originally saw the preview advertised in a magazine that I got on Saturday, but when I went to get the tickets they were all gone. However, I was a member of the magazine's weekly e-mail list and they had another set of tickets so I meneged to get a couple. I'm looking forward to seeing the film. It's based on a novel by Neil Gaiman, and I am a big fan of his work.

After work I went out to Rendezvous, a Chinese restaurant, with my parents and my brother and his girlfriend who are both up from London this week. We had crispy aromatic Peking duck to start, followed by egg foo yung, chicken chow mein, chicken satay, quick fried mixed seafood and a prawn chop suey. It was a really nice meal.

When I got back I watched an episode of The Wire.
