Superman and Size 12

I went into town today to have lunch with Maggie, Helen and Wendy; Libby couldn't make it for the very nice reason that she is at a 50th birthday party in France. It was great to see the girls and we had our usual exchange of news and chatted and laughed. Life has not always been easy for us but we always support each other. After lunch I went shopping for a very important item. I had decided that if I managed to lose some weight I would treat myself to a new pair of size 12 jeans. Well the day has come that I was pretty sure that size 12 would fit me, so I went into Marks and Spencer's, chose a pair that took my fancy, and guess what - they did fit! Hooray!
In the evening David and I went to see Superman: Man of Steel at Hamilton Vue cinema. It was in 3D so we were issued with special glasses. I have seen so many 3D films now that I don't even notice the difference. David and I both found the film to be rather mediocre. It retold the story of Superman's birth and and early years leading up to him starting his job at The Daily Planet. But it changed lots of things about the story and needed some very lengthy explanations from the ghost of Superman's father to shore up the plot. The action sequences went on and on - I mean there are only so many ways that one character can slam another character into a building as they both fly through the air. I wished that we had gone to see Hangover 3 instead but David said that it wouldn't be appropriate for him to see it with me!
