We celebrated Easter by having a dinner picnic on Bondi Beach. I had been cooking dinner and we decided last minute to take it with us, rather than eating and then going out. Chicken adobo is not the ideal picnic food, but we made it work.
What a pleasant surprise it is when you find a gift card that still has money on it! We found a movie gift card we forgot we had, so we went to see Fast and Furious 7. Michael enjoys the movies on a basic level - they're far-fetched, but entertaining all the same. I enjoy them less, finding it incredibly hard to relate to anything about street racing/fancy car culture. So these people spend all their time and money on cars? Why is that fun? I like Jason Stratham, but why does he keep showing up in every different country these people go to? Anyway, one thing I did appreciate was how they dealt with Paul Walker's death during the production of the film. We looked online afterwards and found that he had only shot half of the movie. For some scenes they had to completely create/splice new footage by using old footage of him and some of his brothers. Spoiler alert, there is also a heartwarming moment at the end where they do a short montage and dedicate the movie to him, which is touching even if you don't like car movies.
I'm glad we went the cheap Easter entertainment route rather than paying $40 a piece to go to the Royal Sydney Easter Show again.
Happy Easter!
