Although we've been together for almost five and a half years, my boyfriend and I haven't really been on too many dates so it was lovely when he asked if I fancied going shopping, to play mini adventure golf, to the cinema and for a bite to eat.
We went shopping first for new bras (a necessary evil for me, unfortunately), some make up, and some body bits. It was a lot less painful than I thought because he complained so little because it was a date day instead of me dragging him around Boots for hours.
Then we went mini golfing. I'd been to this place a couple of weeks prior to the date with a friend for her birthday and it was absolutely heaving with kids, families, couples, friends, pretty much every type of social gathering was there. When we got there for our date it was pretty much empty apart from maybe 3 other couples. The place is huge, indoors, and very winding so the holes are very spaced out. Because, in their words, the golfing establishment are "sound like that," they gave me and my boyfriend (and anyone else who played that day) an extra course for free. There are two courses: Swamp and Volcano. I was most definitely better at Swamp and beat my boyfriend 50-55, however I obviously lost my touch because he got 48 in Volcano and I got a whopping 60. I'm not going to lie either, I was a pretty gutted and might have had a teeny tiny pout about it.
I quickly got over that because we then went for a bite to eat, bought some treats and headed up to the Odeon to watch Let's Be Cops. It was hilarious. Honestly, i'd go back to the cinema right now and watch it again if I could. The two starring guys (Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr.) are also two of the starring roles in New Girl (if you've been living under a rock and didn't know that) and I love New Girl, it's definitely one of my favourite shows, and like a lot of actors, such as Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Jim Carrey, Leslie Mann, Charlie Day, and so many more, they are very familiar. I mean this in the sense that although they are playing different characters, they bring something to the movie that makes me comfortable watching it because I feel like I know them as people (not in real life, but as TV people) and I think that's lovely. Some actors are never similar in a role, like Johnny Depp, but I love it when I watch a movie with an actor/actress and they're just, well, familiar.
After an amazing day, I got home to some really distressing news. I found out my dog had gone missing while I was out. I got home at about half past seven and she'd gone missing at four. All I could do was cry. Thankfully, a man walking his dog saw her and carried her around the neighbourhood asking if anyone knew where this little Yorkie belonged and luckily, a little girl and her group of friends knew someone who owned one. Unfortunately, they didn't know she was mine. They took her to the sweetest elderly couple's home and asked if she was theirs. The lady was a bit upset as she had just had hers pass away a couple of weeks ago but she took my dog in nonetheless, fed and watered her, and even walked her around the street twice to see if she belonged to anyone. About twenty minutes after I got home, a woman knocked on the door and asked if I was the girl who'd lost her dog. My mum knew the little girl had given the dog to someone but didn't know who, so we just had to wait until she got home at eight o'clock. At my door was the little girl who took me to the lady's house. I was so shaken when she answered the door with my dog that I was uncontrollably sobbing again and so was the lady to see that i'd been reunited with my little love. The next day, I dropped off some flowers and a thank you card for being so wonderful to my precious chicken (nickname, haha). I am so grateful to her.
If you ever do lose your pet, please report it to the RSPCA in case someone else reports them, even if they're chipped (like mine) and have a collar. If you find what you think could be a missing pet, please call the RSPCA. Also, try you hardest to find someone to take care of them instead of leaving them to wander the streets unless they are acting viciously, in which case call the RSPCA and tell them you think a dangerous animal is wandering about.
This post definitely took a turn for the worst, apologies about that, but I thought it was important. So, thanks for making it this far!
Love,
Eloise
