#make 2017 better

I know this year has been pretty bad for near enough everyone in some way or another. But I have been thinking, maybe we should think about the good times we’ve had too and share those times with each other, I know it won’t make up for everything and it’ll be more individual pleasures rather than the shared pain. But I think it will help go into 2017 on a positive rather than come out of 2016 negatively.

So mine was Valentine’s Day, 2016 has been the best Valentine’s Day so far for me actually. So after some gift giving in the morning, my girlfriend told me she’d planned for us to go to Birmingham, we first stopped off at forbidden planet and she treated me to some Deadpool comics. After that we had a lovely meal at Five Guys (and a cheeky Krispy Kreme for desert) we hopped on a bus to go bowling (I’d been thinking about going, mainly because I watched The Big Lebowski quite a lot, which is a movie my girlfriend can’t stand, that makes it even more special that she’d plan it. Just as a side note). So we had a couple games, both of which we played badly, but still had a great time. After that she took me see Deadpool in the IMAX and we both loved it, much more romantic that 50 shades bullshit the year before (you can read my thoughts on that film further down my blog). Anyhoo while we were there we also were also able to plan our next date night, which is another positive day of 2016.
