Avengers & Party snaps

Hello, lovely people! This afternoon, after an unsuccessful attempt to make a doctor's appointment (he's not in today - sob sob!), Mark and I went to see Avengers Assemble. Despite going for the 12.40 showing, the queue was huge!! We made it just in time, after the adverts had started, for the 2D showing - we both find the 3D a little pointless and expensive.
I have to say it was awesome! Definitely worth a watch, and although a long film, it manages to keep you entertained for about 95% of it. The other 5% is down to it not being as comfortable as the sofa at home ;) My favourites in this were Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Mark Ruffalo (Hulk). Has anyone else seen it?? What did you think? :)
Psst... For anyone who hasn't seen it watch out for the bit where Hulk punches Thor (soo funny!)

Last Saturday (28th) was Mark's mum, Sandra's, 50th birthday party. It was held at a venue called the Ship and Mitre in Liverpool, the room was lovely and intimate with dark wood. Here are a few photos from the night.
