Optimism

Going to need a bigger candlestick if we're murdering someone this weekend.

This weekend sees our next 'big experiment'.  Neither ourselves nor the Murder Mystery company have done a 'weekend' murder mystery - spanning Friday evening through to Saturday night.  A lot of work has gone into this and lets hope it works.

The other scary experiment is that, having failed to find external caterers who will bother with a group of 10 guests, I, rarely the cook here, will be cooking a 'posh' chicken dinner for most of them.
