Hmm, just returned from the cinema. Didn’t know it was Ice Cream Day, if I did I would have had some for sure. Than again it says National Ice Cream day, and not International, so it would not have mattered anyway lol 😂

I went to see Transformers. I have already posted a review for it. While it certainly wasn’t as bad as quite a few reviews made it out to be, it certainly wasn’t a great movie either. But, I still enjoyed myself enough to make it worth a trip to the cinema 😊

I will bookmark your review to read later. I’m getting a bit ambivalent towards the Transformer series now. It’s getting a bit repetitive.

No frosty paws here, Kim. We have most of the regular flavours though. I quite like pistachio, but rarely eat any. I don’t dislike the product, just those pointless ‘days’!

And now I’m hungry! They sound amazing Jen! We don’t have anything like that near us, but there is a dairy in our town that has phenomenal ice-cream. My favorite has always been pistachio. And they have a driving range out back so after you’re finished eating you can burn off a few calories!😁

My husband loves pistachio ice cream, and it’s so hard to find. That’s amazing that you have your own dairy that makes it there, wow! And that’s even more awesome that you can hit the driving range afterwards, how fun!!
