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 had been wondering how it would go. And you guessed? Heh, well done! When I saw it, the cast asked us not to tell anyone the answer - did they do that to you?

The restaurant sounds worth knowing about - I have been to Malvern once or twice, but have not come across it.

Sorry about the cold - yuk!

They did - & so our lips are sealed. *g*

This is the restaurant:

Yeah, I think Mr B is taking his husbandly vows a bit too far & sharing everything with me - even his cold! LOL

Bus has been duly kissed & send one back! *mwah*

Eeep! I hope you both are feeling better soon!

We put on The Mousetrap when I was in high school theater--one of my favorite plays that we did.:-)

Thank you!

We'd never seen it & had purposely kept spoiler-free over the years.
I love the way that after the curtain-call, the cast asked everyone to keep the secret. :)

Thanks, H.
I could've done without getting a cold right now - I have such a busy week! Never mind - I shall soldier on (with many kisses from the Budster! ♥ )

What a lovely evening! I'm not a huge Indian food fan but I like the sound of your meal. Love a bit of Agatha Christie. (Currently reading a Dorothy L. Sayers - Clouds of Witness.)

Sorry to hear about your cold. Hope it goes away soon.

This particular biryani isn't very hot - just really tasty. Yum!

Ooooh - Clouds of Witness! I love DLS. I did a complete re-read a couple of years ago & loved it. I also have a lot of audiobook versions & love to listen while I'm baking or sewing.
*hugs*

It was lovely.
The play was a little 'of its time' but very charming. :)

Haha! You're obviously reading too many detective stories!!

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.

*hugs*

Yeah, we were saying how when this was written - 60 years ago - it was probably the first time that particular plot idea had been done! :)

How marvellous that your folks got to see Lord Dickie & his wife!
