Summer Party

Tonight was the summer party at Zenrinkan. It was a lovely party, but it was also a little sad because it was Ryan's farewell party too.


We had a pot luck style dinner. Hiroko made some yummy quiche, cottage pie, guacamole, hot dogs and salsa and people brought many other dishes, such as corn, jelly, biscuits, rice and so on.

The evening started with an ice-breaker where everyone had to find someone who fitted the description on their paper. Then we had an evening of entertainment with many songs and recitals.

There was also a quiz all about Ryan, and we learnt lots of new information about him!

Finally, everyone joined us for a dance with Ryan. He taught us a short dance and then we all danced together. It was a lovely end to a lovely evening.

An evening of gore!

Tonight we had our second Murder Mystery Night at Zenrinkan.

The waitress

This time the setting was 1920's India. Everyone was sitting down to enjoy Elizabeth's 21st birthday party, when the body of a young Leuitenant was found on the croquet lawn.

The weapon

As the evening went on it was found that more and more people had a link to the dead man. Some would get money, some sent a secret to the grave, some had been spurned in love, but all of them had a reason for revenge.

I won't tell you what the answer was, but I will tell you that our investigators did a fine job and sentanced the true murderer.
