On the 12th of July I went to Leeds to see Six with my mum, Sam, Jodie, and Mel. We have had the tickets since last August or something ridiculous like that. I have obviously seen it before but my mum hadn't, and wanted to. We had originally booked to go with Jac, but then she wasn't able to make it, so Jodie asked her friend Mel instead. I had met her once before but not for long, so it was nice to see her again.
Lee and I went to my mum's first and we had some lunch with her and my stepdad, and then she drove us to Leeds. We parked close to the theatre and walked up the Grand arcade. It was when the weather was stupidly hot so we were already sticky and sweaty, but never mind. Sam and Jodie were in the Cosy Club having some lunch, so my mum and I walked down there. I've never been in before but I quite liked it. My mum and I had a drink as we had eaten. Mel arrived and had a drink too. Then, just before 4pm, we headed to the theatre. It was stupid hot in there, old buildings suffer in the heat!
They had two showings of Six that day, as it's only short, and we had booked to see the earlier one. The place was absolutely rammed and as my mother said, mostly with women. And young women, too! The show was really good, as it always is. The Anne Boleyn appeared to be from Huddersfield or somewhere close which made her accent absolutely hilarious. I enjoyed it, and when it finished, my mum said 'Absolutely fabulous!'. So that was good, I was glad. She would see it again!
We had finished a bit earlier than we thought so we were early to Zan Asian where we had booked to eat. It didn't matter because it wans't very busy, so we got a table upstairs. It was SO hot in there and the air conditioner was like snowing? And not working great. Never mind! I ordered a blue cocktail - love me some blue shit - and we ordered food. I had Penang style grilled tofu which came with veg and peanuts on, and was yummy. The whole restaurant is Malaysian and I would like to go back and try more dishes. I wasn't sure what to get for mains but ended up going for Rojak Mee, which was tofu in a peanut sauce with noodles. It was nice but the noodles were a bit soggy for my liking. Still, it was good to try
After we had eaten we all just said goodbye and my mum drove us back to hers. Lee came to pick me up a bit later and then it was home time!
