    its like eastenders with a seasoning of police work FFS.
    that bloody neurotic woman, and the fact that any feckwit can just wander into and around a cop shop unchallenged.?
    It's a cop soap according to Bochco et al.

      Too much today

      Still drizzling here. Apparently it'll carry on with little to no interruption until at least this time tomorrow

      Still, I daresay the trees are appreciating it

        There has been rain for much of the evening so far, of varying levels of enthusiam.

        Currently watching BBC Two - Horizon, 2020, Pluto: Back From the Dead, Pluto: Back from the Dead all about how interesting Pluto really is even though it's no longer one of the kool kids of the solar system.

          Tea has been M&S non-chunky breaded haddock, with chips and beans. Very tasty

          Those non-chunky fillets are a bit on the small side, though. There's three left, and I'm thinking of seeing if I can snap one in half to make two meals out of them

          Still, as I had buttered sausages for lunch, I don't suppose I needed the extra calories this evening

              It's one of Mr Burton's later epics where the booze had taken its toll.
              Lots of 3 litre granadas and Triumph 2000s, plus Harry Andrews, and rather a lot of lovies who are highly regarded today.

              Not to mention many who aren't.

              The Medusa Touch (1978) - IMDb

              Jeremy Brett, Derek Jacobi.

              Oh, and it features a 747 flying into a London office block.

              I'd forgotten that bit.

                I've read a few of PVG's books. They're good; he had a knack for dreaming up quite unusual situations then making them play out in a convincing manner

                Centre Point, to be precise. Predicting 9-11 back in the early 1970s

                Tonight's viewing here was ST:TNG S4E15 First Contact (TV Episode 1991), which is quite a good one; followed by S1E6 of Hanna.

                It's back to raining rather than drizzling here now

                Goodnight all

                    Morning all

                    Overcast out. Ground damp but no active precipitation at present. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 20 forecast. Rain expected for much of the afternoon. Barometer has dropped to 1011 mBar.

                    First coffee being drunk. Croissant ready to go into the oven when it's warmed up.

                      Morning denizens

                      Seems to have rained for much of the night but it's stopped now. The forecast that it would continue throughout the day has been rescinded, replaced with the possibility of more showers this afternoon and evening. Totally grey sky, with the weather app claiming it's foggy, and 16°C at the moment
