Thanks to Inspector Clouseau and Miss Marble, the suspect was arrested and charged. At the trial, the suspect claimed to be insane but the judge decreed that there was no sanity clause. Case has been referred on to the Old Bailey

The Old Bailey hearing didn't last long as the accused refused to say what had happened to the sun. Judge Jeffreys said in his summing up that if it was in his power he would sentence the accused to be executed.
The accused has been deported instead to Erewhon

Erewhon in particular

"Erewhon" was a book written by Samuel Butler first published in 1872 as a satire on Victorian England. A fictional country vaguely based on the writer's experiences when he was working as a sheep farmer in New Zealand and did some exploring in the interior of the South Island. As you realised, that's just an anagram of nowhere 
My father had a large number of books and I remember noticing that he had a copy of "Erewhon", not that I ever read it.

Not often that you see a llama on a motorway in the UK. Very short clip of this (the llama was escorted to safety but it's not known how it got on the motorway.

Love the look, as the Llama pulled away from the officer, as if to say ''Who the heck are you?''

Talking of llamas, Jeff Minter, a computer games developer, is known for his love of llamas and called his company Llamasoft. His games would often feature llamas, camels & sheep. He made a series of games with Mutant Camels in their titles:

Not sure about the animal fetish, but it doesn't appear to have done him any harm does it...the man's a millionaire 
I'm not familiar with any of his games...are you El?

The only one of his games I attempted to play but gave up on was called "Attack of the Mutant Camels" on an Atari 8 bit computer. That was released 40 years ago. There's a clip of that on Youtube but I don't think it's worth watching unless you are a dedicated fan of his games (I think there will be quite a sizeable number of his fans even after all this time).

Nah, I'm okay thanks
There was another male found dead in our local river yesterday 
The last one was in November last year... just a few feet away.

Sad news, Slim 
Years ago, a man I very slightly knew was reported missing. He was a vulnerable adult. I think he lived in a council owned property with one or two other vulnerable adults. ( don't think that could have been regarded as sheltered accommodation though. I was one of those who spent some time searching for him in case he had got lost and didn't know where he was. There was no sighting of him. A couple of weeks later his body was discovered in the river. The river is several miles from where he was living. It's too many years ago to be sure but I think he might have had a fall out with one of the others, walked out of the property and just kept on walking until he got to the river, I don't remember if he had been drinking or not.

That's pretty neat
A good way to involve children, and I suspect, a good few adult males to the world of historical structures

Thatâs fantastic, thanks El 
England has just beaten Ireland in the cricket test match. Ireland had a better second innings than the first and were able to get a lead over England. So England had to bat again. They only needed to get 11 runs to win and managed that in 4 balls in the first over. So must be one of the shortest innings ever.
