The Murder Mystery

Today is 30%'s birthday.

TP has arranged a Murder Mystery party for this evening and much of the detail and invitees have been kept secret from 30%, so it is very much a semi-surprise party.

I was out of the house early this morning, as I was shooting with Bubbles and Ben at the Cotswold Shooting Ground at Childswickham.  The shoot started really well and my score card was looking quite reasonable until we shot the last couple of stands. They were incredibly challenging and my score suffered badly. I ended up with 46/80 ... at least I got over 50%.

Back at home I caught up with the Birthday Girl, who was hosting visitors ... Mummy Sheila and Mr & Mrs Tweedy.  Coffee was consumed and news was exchanged.  Mr T was an absolute star and, having given me some LED strip lights a couple of weeks ago, he handed over a set of connectors that he had specially ordered to make their installation straightforward ... he is wasted on his god-awful wife!

In the afternoon I walked the dogs before returning and helping with the preparations for the party.

The Murder Mystery was loosely themed on a 1920's house party and I played the part of Bebop Badoo; a jazz pianist with a gambling problem. 30% played his wife, Booboo Badoo; a Jazz singer and songwriter.

The whole evening was incredibly funny and everyone made a huge effort to get dressed up as required by their character. The star of the evening was TP's friend Matt M. He was playing the part of the Butler and went to collect the pizza order from the Deliveroo driver, staying in character the entire time ... The Deliveroo driver was not impressed!

It was a very late evening, but 30% absolutely loved it. She has claimed that it is one of her best birthdays ever. Hats off to TP for organising and hosting the event. He did a super job and we are both very proud of him ... he even baked a birthday cake.
