Debs' birthday party on Friday was absolutely fab. Well, Debs texted me during the day and asked whether two bottles of bubbly, three bottles of red and three bottles of white would be enough. (For six people.) I said yes. She then let me know later on that Charles had gone to get two more, just in case. I mean, how could a party like that possibly be bad?

Chocolate Bertrand and Sigmund "Fraud"

The theme was death by chocolate, a murder mystery, and we were all very serious about our roles. In fact, I'd say that we got better and better the more wine bottles that were opened. As Dame Barbara Carthorse I felt very happy to find a reason to wear a nice dress. (I even let the leopard fake fur jacket come out to play! That's when you know there's a party. More is more, as I always say...) During the evening and as more facts were revealed it turned out that my character, who on a first glance seemed as a posh dame and novelist, wasn't quite so innocent and had had some very suspect affair with the chocolatier who had now been found murdered on some cruise. Very Sunset Beach, I like it.

Sigmund "Fraud" gave us many interesting insights about the "fallos" during the evening.

As usual Debs was a great hostess and had made a three course meal. If it'd been my dinner I'd probably have taken up microwave food orders beforehand. Must get better. There's also supposed to be a picture of the amazing the amazing cupcakes that we had for dessert. But we got excited and ate them all.
