There's Been A Murder...And It Be A Mystery

On Saturday my flatmates and I attended a murder mystery party our friend Danny had written. Since he didn't know us when he wrote it, we didn't get parts so we played as actors. I went as Dina Mite, Caoimh went as June Facepunch, Sophie went as Silver McStabsqwik, and Mags, who had a role, was Scarlet Monroe.

It was a lot of fun! It was great because everyone actually dressed up. Usually you get a lot of slackers but everyone put a lot of effort into their costumes which was awesome! We didn't stay too long after the mystery was solved (until about 12:30/1) because we were all really tired and we were meeting Sophie's aunt for lunch the next day.

Her aunt lives in the town of Penicuik which is about 10 miles outside of Edinburgh. We had a lovely three course meal of melon and cherries, a sausage casserole with rice, peppers, apricots, carrots, and mushrooms, and for dessert we had strawberry and blackberry crumble and strawberry trifle. It was all so yummy! It was wonderful to have a home cooked meal and it felt so homey in her house with its little gas fireplace (there was heat! it was so warm!). We then went on a walk around Penicuik House. I took some pictures with my phone for the first time. I'm really pleased with the quality but the colouring is a little off and I couldn't get it to zoom. I'll have to play around with it more.
