I continue my study of Jonny B from afar. His behaviour is certainly peculiar, although not necessary criminal.

• He has his cess pit emptied. (There are no bodies currently stashed in there.)
• He experiments with home-made explosives in the form of a can of microwaved soup.
• He travels to London to meet with some old contacts, consumes a kebab his waist-line can barely afford, talks about bingo and goes home.

I wonder whether I have done the right thing taking this assignment. If the pace of life around here got any slower, it would have to start going backwards.
