Bits & pieces

We had a lovely evening out last night.
We went to the Malvern Festival Theatre to see Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap' which is in its 60th year.
It was a lovely, old-style country house murder mystery. A little dated perhaps (it is 60 years old!) but good fun.
Mr B & I had a guess at the murderer in the interval & it turned out we were right! Though with all the usual Christie red herrings, it could have been anyone! *g*
Before the theatre, we had a smashing meal at our usual place - a very superior Indian restaurant *g* - & I had a gorgeous Kashmiri Murghi Biryani (which has prune & pineapple in it): yummy!
The only downer of the evening was that I felt a cold creeping on (Mr B has a beaut at the moment) & I've woken up with it in full force. :(
I saw on the news about Hurricane Gonzalo hitting Bermuda. I couldn't help thinking 'I hope that Gus & Mike are okay' & then realised that they don't actually live there (or anywhere beyond my imagination!) What am I like? *g*
Off to pick up the Budlington now - he had a sleepover at his Nan's while we went out. ♥
Happy Sunday, all!
*hugs*

I love the way that after the curtain-call, the cast asked everyone to keep the secret. :)

Date: 20 Oct 2014 06:47 pm (UTC)I've never actually seen "The Mousetrap", although my parents saw it the year it started (1955) with the original cast of Richard Attenborough and Sheila Sim (who later became his wife) - so it's quite amazing that it's still running . . .
Hope you'll be feeling better soon.
