DCI Morose @inspectormorose.bsky.social · 3hHaving gotten home at 10.20pm, and not had dinner, I talked myself into cooking two duck breast portions I had, and made mash potato. It looked nice, but I made a little sauce out of the duck meat juices/fat, plus some soy sauce, garlic red wine and balsamic glaze. It tasted better than it looked. 000
DCI Morose @inspectormorose.bsky.social · 4hJust home now, from a 2-hour badminton session. I think I won about half the games I played, but it’s easy to lose count. This is two nights in a row. Last night was the usual place in Chippenham, but tonight was further afield in Melksham. 010

DCI Morose @inspectormorose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Aaaaaaannnnndddd we’re back! All it took was a whole new router and an inordinate amount of configuration. It’s much needed though. I had clients and colleagues mentioning that in the mid-afternoons, my “tethering from the mobile” seemed to drop out a lot. 100
DCI Morose @inspectormorose.bsky.social · 23/09/2026ARRRGGGHHH! Work was super-busy but OK. Finished at 7pm (instead of 5.30pm), only to have the household internet go tits-up.
