Tonight’s trip to #MidsomerMurders has been preempted by the French Open Tennis. My murder fix will be satisfied by a visit to Foyle’s War (not bookshop) with the excellent Michael Kitchen.

Saturday night in the suburbs. Young men noisily torture V8 engines and newly repaired gearboxes on straight stretches of roadway. while across the hallway, Number 16’s taste for fish soup is onto its fifth straight evening.
