Commissaire Moulin on YouTube. A series which ran from the late 1970s to 2007 (this is a later episode as they have mobile phones). Anthony Delon is the guest star. English subtitles a bit iffy (funny at times), but it's not bad.

Watching Le Commissaire dans la Truffière on YouTube (Eng Sub), an adaptation of a Pierre Magnan detective novel. Quite enjoyable so far, and the commissaire has a nice car.

I got this from Morrison's. Lavender and honey oil (not sure if it's meant for babies or not!). I put it on my pillow and on clothes. The lavender is not too strong as the honey tones it down.

I adored Dr Pasquano in Montalbano. Salvo and he had such a lovely relationship. Sadly, the actor Marcello Perracchio, who portrayed him, died in 2017.
