Dinner at home with Angelique and Aubrey.

It's Jerome's birthday. A small celebration is ongoing in the cafe, which is decorated this evening with black and white balloons.

Night chores.

My favorite time of the day has come again: an evening shower, and then off to bed with Hercule Poirot. Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle is murdered only halfway through the book; the first half introduces characters, is devoted to exposition, and sets the stage for an incredibly complex and highly undoable crime.
