Murders and 1-0 away wins...

Last Saturday, for Halloween, we participated in a murder mystery evening at Rachael's new flat. Set in the Hollywood scene of the 1950s, we all came dressed in various movie-related garb. I was a matinee idol who was filming an Arabian movie... I was very Lawrence-ish. Andy was Robin Hood, Griff was a badly dressed director, Paul was dressed as a sheriff (for the western he was starring in), Rachael was in Japanese-stylee, Marla, Becky, Fi & Louise were all sort of dolled up, 50s style.

It was a great evening. Louise was the eventual killer. I nearly guessed correctly but changed my accusation at the last second.

Last night we went out for a meal and a movie to celebrate Mum's birthday. We went to Thai Balcony, which is a lovely place. I had Stir Fry Chicken with Chili, Garlic and Basil. Unfortunately, there was no Chili... so a bit of a dissappointment for me. Everyone else loved their food though. We then went to see Finding Neverland at the cinema. It is a very good film. Touching, funny, emotional with great performances - especially from Johnny Depp. It's not really my sort of film... but very good nevertheless.

Also last night, Liverpool beat Deportivo la Coruña 0-1 in the UEFA Champions League. It's a great away win that really helps Liverpool's chances of advancing to the next stage of the competition. The goal was an own-goal by Deportivo, but apparently the Liverpool performance was excellent. Good news indeed.
