Yeah, I always fancied being Han Solo.
And I've found my very own Princess Leia!
And now, a post isn't a post without Danger with something hanging out of his mouth... I don't even know.
We had a lovely ride up to Cambridge today - well, lovely except for the weather on the way up. Danger got a good education in wet weather riding. Then the weather improved, dried up, and the ride back was great. And we even did useful things in the middle!
We were late back, so Mrs Hudson fetched Sherlock. He's been glowering at us all night. Not a happy little boy. I did fear this might happen, now I get to spend more time with John. But it's one of those things he'll just have to get used to.

...What am I doing? I don't even know either.
Hee! Well, the hair is okay for Leia, but the costume is all wrong... :D
(I always preferred Hans Solo to Luke, myself.... :))
Sherlock--I assume you're in bed now, but if/when you see it in the morning, just remember that more time off for Lestrade might mean he sometimes gets more time with John, but it can also mean he sometimes will have more time with you, especially on weekends and evenings. And if you want alone time with either John or Lestrade, you can ask and I bet they'll work that out for you.
No clue! Being amusing :)
I'm just putting Sherlock to bed. Well, I'm following him around, making sure he brushes his teeth whilst he does his best to be in a bad mood with me and persuade me he shouldn't go to school tomorrow.
I genuinely have no idea in that last one. I'm not sure I even remember it. I do remember trying to balance buns on my head though.
And both of you - it's Han Solo, not Hans.
Heh!
And how is he managing with the bad mood? (I already know how the not-going-to-school bid is going. :))
Oops--you're quite right! :)
That's what I said...um...honest!
well, going on the shirt, the timeline, I think, involved buns indoors...booby buns outdoors, and then this?? I don't know. Must have been some party :)
I'm so glad you haven't got out of the habit of putting strange things in your mouth, though...
If John had a theme song, then, going by the pictures here, it would be titled "Fun with Food," don't you think?
:D
Yeah, I always fancied being Han Solo.
I read that as "I always fancied Han Solo", and I thought, "Yeah, I don't blame you" :-)
The photos are... special. The second one in particular.
Poor Sherlock; life's tough when you're six.
Well....yeah, that too, Nameless! Out of all of them, it was Han for me. Luke was too whiny and wet, Chewbacca was too hairy, and the Princess was too female :)
Isn't it though? Poor kid. He's perfected the art of stamping up the stairs though, about 5 years early for his teenage years.
about 5 years early for his teenage years
Well, he wouldn't want to be caught unprepared. :)
In all fairness, I well remember the frustrations of being "too young" and the Unfariness Of It All. It really wasn't fun.
John - ...That must have been some party. ^.^ I'm... sort of surprised you're still standing upright and unharmed. Are those skewers you're playing with there?!
Greg - For me, R2D2 and CP3O were the funny ones because half of me is the "fussy mother hen" and the other is "omg omg the sky is falling!"

Agreed on all counts, Lestrade (although I did have a bit of a soft spot for Lando, too, despite the cape).
Perhaps, if you really lucky, Sherlock will be bored of stamping and glowering by the time he hits hits his teens?
... yeah, I don't think so either :-p
Does the long, wet ride today mean you didn't get your quota of exercise today, gents? Perhaps you'll have to be extra vigorous tomorrow.
The expression in the first pic is very sweet, (although not as sweet as the one of you on John's blog).
As for the second - I hope it doesn't give the degus any ideas.
John, what were you drinking? Because I want to avoid whatever it was at all costs. :D Kidding, kidding. Those are seriously some very prime photos L has of you.
Sherlock's not had really much time with anyone that he feels is completely dedicated to him - no wonder he gets jealous of any time John spends with you, Lestrade, and not with him. Not saying that he shouldn't learn that adults need time together without kids sometimes, but he's only had it two ways, it seems: All or Nothing. And he's probably still insecure enough that he's afraid he'll go back to Nothing.
On a totally unrelated note, we may have settled on a name for little man's hamster: Luna. Because she's only up at night, and that her cage is under his light-up model of the moon that hangs on the wall.
And he's probably still insecure enough that he's afraid he'll go back to Nothing.
That sounds uncomfortably likely, mazarin.
Luna! Perfect name.
Well, hopefully he'll learn that he can't get rid of us that easily.
He seems to have cheered up a bit this morning.
Yep! And also, good. ;)
Mmm, except I think he only cheered up because he'd hidden my bike keys before he woke us up this morning. Can't find them anywhere. Luckily the spares were in our room, so he didn't get to them. Think he thought it was a good way to ensure we didn't get up to anything without him today.
Danger is now biking around London. I'm at the builder's merchants looking for rubber washers.

I am not going to say what I first thought when reading that...
Heh! Well you can't accuse him of passivity or over-dependence, anyway... (Probably has them on him.)
Is a builders merchants like a hardware store?
(Meaning, he probably has the keys on him. And that he doesn't wait for someone else to solve his problems. Although talking would be a better first step... :))
How's the plumbing going?
He did have them - which is what I suspected too, having searched the obvious places. And he's now scowling at me over a slice of cake because he's been told off.
Plumbing went well, tenants have a loo that flushed properly again.
Builder's merchant is a place you buy things for the construction industry - from aggregate to weddy, plumbing parts to paint. Hardware store implies more things useful around the home, I think?
Can't be too upset if he's eating the cake. :) AND it's the weekend--no school for two days!
Congrats on the successful flushing fix.
Ah! We call both things a hardware store, I think--but we have one of those construction/handyman/building superintendant-type stores around the corner here. Very intimidating. (And then there's Home Depot, which is a huge chain that is both, plus--I don't know if they have any stores in the city, but there are two of them nearby in New Jersey.)
So what are your big weekend plans?
What is a building superintendent? We don't have those.
Not sure about weekend plans. Might go for a swim tomorrow, if Sherlock wants. And I'm working on Sunday.
A building superintendent (super) is the person in charge of maintenance and repair in an apartment building--I think it's New York City law that every building over a certain size has one in the building or in a nearby building. They take care of small repairs and housecleaning and sidewalk cleaning themselves, for big jobs they call in contractors. In a really big building they might have a staff. I bet you just call them something else.
Swimming, huh? I guess you're ready to give those piercings a public airing, then! :) ... It does sound like fun, though.
We're supposed to get 1 to 4 inches of snow between late tonight (early tomorrow morning) and midday tomorrow. Swimming is not the first thing I'd think of!
Yeah, we'd call them a caretaker. Although nowadays they might actually have a made up job title like building manager or something. They'd be responsible for repairs/cleaning of communal areas, maybe if there was gardens or a carpark they'd tend to/clean that too. No idea if you have to have one in big buildings. I don't think so. They definitely wouldn't clean pavements :)
Piercings are healing well enough to cope, I think, yeah.
:) Have fun! Assuming Sherlock wants to go, that is.
Just seeing the title of this post made me grin. ^_^
Lando was quite handsome and I rather liked the cape (being what, ten? and having a dubious sense of style), but Han and Leia were the best looking. I must admit a soft spot for Luke's friend Biggs, though. (http://images.wikia.com/starwarsofthecaribbean/images/c/ca/E4_BiggsPilot_Big_6.jpg) for reference, as I know not everyone is an enormous geek.
(I saw the first movie--the REAL first one, not the "first" one from those we'll-pretend-they-don't-exist prequels--22 times, during it's first three releases. That's in the theaters, it doesn't include home viewings on VCRs or DVDs. Shhhh, don't tell anyone. :D)
Awesome. I'm too much of a youngun to have got to the originals, so I've only ever seen them on VCR/DVD, though I did go to the prequels in theater (the third one twice >_o because my Dad didn't want to go alone, which then led to him poking me for making snide comments at the screen). I'm a huge fan of the expanded universe novels and couldn't understand why Lucas didn't go to those for material as they were far better written (most of them, discounting New Jedi Order series, which reeked).
I'm too much of a youngun to have got to the originals,
Rotten kid.
:D
Not my fault! I was raised well and geekily on Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, superheros, and Star Wars though.
