Tonight's telly was S1E3 of Murder Case: The Digital Detectives, in which we learn that there's not much point deleting your messaging app if the person you were messaging doesn't, thus giving the police a pristine copy of the chat in which you confessed to stabbing somebody

And then I started reading Robert Hutton's new book The Illusionist, about Colonel Dudley Clarke who was largely responsible for some of the most successful deception operations of WWII. A great read so far, and he's hardly got started yet

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

A sunny start again, with just a few wisps of white for scenic effect. It's expected to turn windy before too long though, and a bit cloudier too, which is roughly what happened yesterday as well. It's going to be a relatively warm one though, being up to 10°C already and expected to reach 18° later; the barometers are down a tiny bit though at 999/1007mB

I poked my head out of the bedroom window to get a few lungfuls of fresh air and admire the scenery, and hark! what was that distant rumbling? Not thunder over the Ganges, but bins! For it is bin day, though of course I don't have to trundle these days, as the management company people take care of all that

Morning all

A rather wet dog walk earlier meant we didn't even manage 9km.

Morning all

Blue sky, with minimal wispy fluff visible. There's a touch of frost on some of the lumps of moss on the roof that I can see from my office window. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 18 expected. Set to get a bit cloudier as the day progresses. Barometer down a smidge to 1014 mBar.

Today is also bin day here but I have to trundle my own receptacles. Recycling today.

Morning. At last.

Tuesday apparently unless I've slept through it and it's Wednesday. No, the clock says it's "Tu".

Damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

Chilly in here at 13.8 deg (before I turned the fire on), much the same in the kitchen & leanto.

1003 mBar, 29.62 in Hg, 752.3 Torr, 14.547 psi, (down from 1007 last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of September 2019 there was patchy cloud for NF with rain forecast, whereas WTFH was back from his hols & a previous client was enquiring as to the availability of his services, and I was irritated by some loudmouth in the computer room in the library.

It must be said that I'm feeling just a tad odd this morning, but not nearly as odd as I did last night: I've never watched the clock on the chest of drawers with quite such fascination previously, every time I nodded off a bit & woke with a start. Most peculiar.

Veronica Mars S1 E21 "A trip to the dentist": the investigation of the missing time at the party (no involved).

The Mentalist S3 E1 "Red sky at night". The continuation of the cliff hanger.

The Mentalist S1 E16 "Bloodshot". WTF?

Scotland Yard "The Case of the River Morgue". The stolen body one.

Maigret has scruples S13 E2. The one about the Belgian model railway enthusiast who's afraid of being murdered by his wife.

Denplan. Or rather, whatever the dentist replaced Denplan with.

Lunch has been a chunky cod fillet fish finger bap (wholemeal) with red sauce. Dead nice; haven't had one of those in a while

[WTFH]

Somebody in North Devon has been cutting heroin with something very bad. At first it was a one-off reaction but the numbers are rising.

Guess whose wife has spent most of the day fielding calls from clinical directors in the area wanting to make sure their teams know the requirements of naloxone/flumazenil to be administered.

Scary stuff (and if you know anyone who dabbles, tell them to be VERY CAREFUL)

Update: it's nitazenes. In THC vapes, tabs, etc. The heroin users are probably the best informed and least likely to be a problem, but it's the recreational users/festival goers who are going to be hit this year. 6 grains of the stuff is enough to kill you, and it's coming in from China.
