One plate. Two massive bits of french toast sitting on said plate.
Guess who ate BOTH those bits of French Toast?
I'll give you a clue. He was six. (And only has two legs... I've no idea if either of the dogs are six. It's possible.)
Those bits of toast where bigger than his face! Serves me right for being such a soft touch and making it, I imagine. Everyone else was only slightly more restrained...
It rained. Again. Although right now it isn't! Amazing.
We had to get a bit of shopping in. Sherlock and the dogs caused some sort of puddle-related chaos, which Mycroft was either victim of or involved in...
Yesterday evening I spent the time following a suspect. There are a number of suspects on my current case, and we get to follow them. More often, for MIT, we watch properties, because we know who we're after, and we want to catch them.
This is rather different, following people to see who they meet, what they're doing, where they're going. Means a lot of thinking on the fly. Sometimes we're on our own, only a radio for contact. It gets the adrenalin going, that's for sure.
Probably be more of the same tonight...
PS. Danger, found this article. Does the bit near the bottom explain why you make me feel so happy? ;)
PPS. Sherlock, here's a picture of a SOCO examining an ESLA lift for you, using a Crimelite 80L footwear torch. Don't say I don't give you anything!
174 comments:
Lovely pics, L! I'm French, and can confirm that your toast look very much like mine. Sherlock's quarter of French blood (if I'm not mistaken) must have nudged his stomach to do the honorable thing! What sort of bread do you use? I usually go for the sort we call "six cereals".
Have a safe night, with or without the adrenaline.
Summer Anon
What does ELSA mean? Is that a real picture of someone you know?
I'm deeply suspicious of the study that came up with those statistics...
Electrostatic ....something or other. Basically, it's a sheet that we use to electrostatically lift dust from the floor, and using a special light we can then see footprints, even when it looked like there weren't any...or something. I may have to find you an expert. I just know it works..not really how it works.
And yes, his name's Chris.
Summer Anon - it's a big bloomer! Just white bread, yours sounds very tasty though. It didn't occur to me about Sherlock's french heritage, I must admit...
Thank you :)
Danger - you do indeed have your 'deeply suspicious' face on.
Although I would more readily believe that people in long term relationships who have enough trust in the their partners to have unprotected sex with them (and who are doing it regularly) might be happier. But I may be biased.
....I can definitely say I have been the exception to that rule in the past.
Do French people even call it French Toast?
Fascinating article, by the way. Thanks!
Excellent q, anon. crap, late, got to run, will hopefully be able to update from work again!
Sherlock, there's a discussion about ESLA over here: http://www.crime-scene-investigator.net/Tinting-Film-Lift.html It's a bit technical, but you and Mycroft can probably figure it out.
Sounds like it mostly has to do with taking advantage of static electricity to move the dust from one surface where it isn't very visible to another surface where it can be seen in the right light. (If you have a balloon, you can make your hair stand up with static electricity, but I'm not sure how well it will work when it's really damp.)
rsf
Thanks, RSF. I was beginning to think I'd have to assign Chris to Sherlock to explain...
And I'm going out. And it's raining. Brilliant!
John? Sorry, I didn't mean to...remind you.
It's all right. I just meant...by the time you weren't happy anymore, I can't imagine there was a lot of trust there.
No, definitely not. But...well, that didn't exactly mean the sex stopped. I mean, it not stopping was a large part of the reason there wasn't any trust. I suppose.
This probably isn't a very good thing to discuss when I'm ehre starting shift and you're there
Yeah. Sorry.
not your fault
I hate he can do this to us
I didn't mean to bring up bad memories. Just meant...the trust is the important part, you know? I mean, you do know, obviously. So I don't know what I'm trying to say. I'll stop now.
Yeah. I mean,
Don't stop. I mean, don't stop...I like talking to you, sort of, like this, when I'm out here. Don't stop that part.
i don't think i make I any sense
Don't think I do either. I love you though.
Sherlock took a print out of that ELSA article to bed and fell asleep cuddling it like a toy. Or a Spider.
We'll make a copper out of him yet - cuddling paperwork in bed.
or a super-hero-vigilante-crime-fighter, anyway.
Love you too
...ESLA, not ELSA. Sorry. Now I'm thinking of that lion film.
lions. you've lost me.
this bloke's been in this pub two hours. hasn't drunk anything. suspicious, rightt?
Wasn't there a film with a lion named Elsa? Some time in the 60s? She died at the end I think.
Peculiar at the very least.
no idea re lions
it's raining, so suspect has decided to leave warm dry pub. i think he knows we're here and just likes to make us suffer
you two are so cute, I have conversations like this with my other half when they're at work and I'm missing them and I always thought it was just us.
Look on the bright side, maybe he's gone to do something nefarious that you can catch him at.
this is routinely sensibkr compared to conversation we have at home face to face
positively sensible that should have said. walking typing hard
he's in a house. i think i'm in a compost bin.
the neighbours may call the police as a suspicious man is in a compost bin in the back garden
The glamourous life of a policeman...
I'm jealous of Sherlock - both for having delicious breakfast made for him (although French Toast is a bit sweet, isn't it? I prefer savoury breakfast), and for his metabolism.
That article was both educational and entertainingly written.
John - Born Free?
Lestrade - hope your night is just interesting enough to make the shift go quickly, but not so much as to be anything other than safe (and a compost bin? Ick).
a new smell every night.
I've got something sticky on me. i don;t want to know what it is.
The lion movie was called Born Free. I think it was a tv show in the US for a while, too. I seem to remember the theme song.
L, bins, yesterday, compost today? This new assignment seems pretty hard on the nose!
rsf
P.S. I'm glad Sherlock liked the article. I thought he might, but not quite to the point of taking it to ... well, no, there isn't any way that sentence doesn't end badly, is there?
Great minds, Nameless! Although clearly you type faster.
rsf
i'm not really in the bin, can just smell it nearby.
rsf - difficilt also to find a way to say he takes lots of things to bed with him. sometimes we have to go in once hes asleep and remove items.
found the potato peeler one night. too scared to ask why
I now know why we are having all this rain Greg, it's to provide enough water for you to wash all the bloody awful smells off you ;-)
I hope the night it not too much hard work, I'm guessing you'll sleep through whatever noise Sherlock manages to make tomorrow!!
I hope you manage to sleep John, the empty bed thing is never easy :-(
Born Free, that's the one. Almost as miserable as that otter one.
The article has been removed, lest he drool on it.
Do degus eat potato peels? Because I don't want to think of what else he might have tried peeling.
My nephew's not as bad now, but when he was younger my sister had the same problem. Everything from uneaten jelly sandwiches to soap dispensers to tire lug nuts. Of course, since he usually managed to squirm his way out of bed before the night was half done, the clutter didn't really bother him.
rsf
don't think i smell yet.
am too old for this climbing over fences though
Nothing is as miserable as the otter thing, really.
Lancs. Anon
what otter thing? thought you misstyped other thing
There was that super cute movie with talking lion cubs in it, a few years back...
L - Ring of Bright Water. I think.
Thirdbird - what was that one? Not the Lion King?
i though maybe you meant Tarka.
You like curry, right? Ever tried Tarka Masala? it's like tikka masala, only a bit 'otter...
I groaned out loud when I read that...
"Pride," it was called. Just looked it up on imdb.
Lovely voice actors for the cubs.
:)
feel poss misplaced sense of pride i can make your groan from afar.
Thirdbird - not lions in skimpy gear with rainbow flags though/ i think i missed talking lios, &otters & other lions. not otter lons
Lestrade! That was awful! (And funny. Too bad I don't know anyone I can aim it at.)
I never saw Ring of Bright Water, but I read the book. And the book for Born Free too. Nearly put me off true animal stories forever, between them.
rsf
am out of back garden, for anyone tracking.
stickiness poss blood. not daring to taste, can just see it's dark. think will survive til a.m.
Your blood or someone else's? And if someone else's, what was it doing in compost?
your blood?
My god night shifts are a worry!
Surely there's a streetlight or something where you can get a better look at the stickyness! And maybe take a sample, if it it's someone else's blood, so you can go back with a warrant later?
rsf
streetligt too orange, just makes it look dark. think the wall had glass on top. glad i'm wearing dark jeans. nothing in comppot except compost don't think. didn't check.
your blood then? not going to nag but I assume you'll have a doc check it out as soon as you can ;)
HM
Well...try not to bleed too much. Where are you now?
I trust there's someone on the team who can cover while you find a place to investigate properly and apply soap and water and a sufficiently large bandaid. I'd hate to imagine John venturing out into the rain to find you before infection sets in. (And I take it that whatever happened, it's a small cut, or you'd know very well if it were blood.)
rsf
err..following suspect through quiet bit of london that i won't broadcast?
think he's going home.
Does it make me a bad person that my first thought wasn't "I hope it's not Lestrade's blood" or even just "I hope it's not blood" but "you've got unidentified sticky stuff on you and you were going to taste it??"
Anyway, now I'm past that, I hope it's not your blood. And if it is, that it's not too much of your blood.
Nameless - hope not, because my first thought was...He's found a body in a compost pile?
following suspected terrorists, not murderers, remember. at least, not the sort put bodies in their own(or friends) compost bin.
Nameless - only because i'd sniffed and it didn't seem too horrible. don't just taste everythign i find.
think it was slow ooze, mainly now wiped into jeans. am certain will sirvive long enough to return to good Doc.
hate following people home, bit obvious
Actually, my thoughts tended toward "he's averaged about 8 minutes between comments tonight and now he's mentioned blood it's been HOW long?" But "ew" at the mention of tasting anything after discussing compost, yes, must agree Nameless. That was not good.
rsf
just how do you sleep when he's out John? (mine did boring not at all dangerous shift work)
I'm not going to say anything other than, don't work too hard, stay safe, and get the blood checked when you get chance Greg ;-) I hope morning comes soon for you :-)
not the sort put bodies in their own(or friends) compost bin.
You never know with some people.
Anonybob - I don't, much. I mean, I try obviously, and should try at some point soon, but it doesn't generally go well.
John - thank you, good to know I'm not the only one :-)
Lestrade - can't believe you sniffed it, tbh. It could have been unidentified compost ooze. Or unidentified compost corpse (less likely, as you point out). Either way - ugh.
Stay safe for the rest of the shift.
promise will return to check compost for bodies.
you should sleep. looks like we may now be tucked up for long night. hope someone brings coffee
L - I don't suppose the budget would stretch to having an apartment near the suspect's house for you to go to if he seems to have noticed your existence? Less suspicious if you seem to be a neighbor.
John, yes, you should probably sleep, since you'll have wideawake boys in the morning. But I can see why you'd rather not. I didn't want to leave the computer just waiting to find out what the sticky stuff was.
rsf
I never did either John and like I said he did boring stuff.
I think I spent most nights texting him and on the internet trying not to think about going to bed ;-) I hope you manage some sleep or that Mrs Hudson is in a position to entertain Mycroft and Sherlock for part of tomorrow so you can catch some sleep together :-)
so you can catch some sleep together
That sounds nice.
L - all right. I'll try. Call me and say goodnight first if you can?
O.o Blood? While I'm glad that your nights have been incredibly wet (and boring) thus far, I think I fretted less when your paperwork was keeping you from your bed (and John).
You do have a partner or two out there with you tonight I hope??
-A from NW
rsf - no. budget has no stretch in it.
Am now in car. sticky stuff was blood. not much. have created makeshift bandage.
there are murray mints but no coffee yet. J, I'll call. to tell you to go to bed :)
A - yes, partner was nearby in car, ready if suspect got in vehicle.
other are tailing other suspects.
Not so happy that it's your blood, but at least you've got backup nearby and aren't needing the immediate attentions of a non -John doctor.... Speaking of partners in cars ... any chance they'll trade places with you, now that you've been injured on duty so to speak?
-A from NW
Yeah we swap now and then.
I've been sent to bed. Good night, everyone...
I'm sure you're supposed to say I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BED or something like that John ;-)
I hope you sleep ok
Night gorgeous. See you when you wake.
Does it make me a bad person my first thought was, "hope you're up on tetanus?" I think scrapes, bumps and bruises are the part of any job that's somewhat physical, but a cut from a compost heap... Ugh.
I'm also a bit of a germaphobe, so that's probably just my paranoia speaking.
I'm glad to hear you've got a car at least to warm up in, even if the budget can't do any better than that. A makeshift bandage, though? Is the cut in that awkward a location? I hope the first aid supplies extended to some antiseptic, anyway.
May the rest of your night be blood-free!
Good night, John. Sleep well!
rsf
Seconding the hope for some sort of antiseptic!
And that you manage to dry off sufficiently--even if it's only to get drenched again on your way home, L.
(That French toast looks wonderful! Oh, to have a metabolism like that... :))
Not too bad at the mo. Almost dry, no rain.
Sounds like a major improvement, anyway! How's the bleeding?
Typical Saturday, finally signing on just in time to say good night.
Add me to the chorus that envies Sherlock his metabolism - I have a five year old who can eat like that...especially when it's things like French toast and pancakes and waffles...
I hope the rest of your night is quiet. dry and free of any more bleeding, Greg.
For some reason OpenID isn't verifying that I exist right now, so this is imachar not really anon...
I hope you're back home now, L!
Have a lovely morning, guys. :)
Mm. Home sleep sleeping. John and Sherlock satisfied will survive small cut
I hope you're still sleep sleeping, L!
Did you help John with Lestrade's cut, Sherlock, or was he able to manage by himself?
It wasn't very big and was on the side of his hand and John said it didn't even need stitches but I wanted to do them anyway but he wouldn't let me so we cleaned it and stuck some tape and a bit of a dressing on it that John cut up and I hope he wakes up soon.
What are you and mycroft up to Sherlock? It must be hard when lestrade's in bed but I hope you've found something to entertain you :-)
I hope you got some sleep John.
Awake. You can be loud now
Maybe another nap later, L?
It's a good thing Lestrade didn't hurt himself enough to need any stitches, Sherlock, but I'm sure you'd have done an excellent job if needed. (It's very important for a doctor to know what's necessary and to always do no more than that--which I bet John told you. :)) And good job on letting Lestrade sleep even though you wished he'd be awake!
(And now I'm off to a tai chi workout at the main dojo--have a great afternoon!)
Err... potentially another nap. Depends how I feel I suppose.
You feel good to me...
I suppose if your shift finished at 6, you've probably had almost as much sleep as a normal night by now?
Yeah, had about 5-6 hours. Sherlock and Mycroft are helping prep some dinner, then I think we'll take the dogs out. John and I might jog.
I'm glad it was just a small cut, even though the side of a hand is awkward. And now I'm wondering how doctors practice doing stitches before they actually do them on people. Maybe Sherlock can practice on Spider.
I bet Mycroft and Sherlock are a lot of help with getting dinner ready, since your hand is probably sore. Did they choose the menu?
Have a nice run. Does Mycroft run with you two now? I know he's tall enough. And what does Sherlock do while you're running, ride his bike alongside? (Can you jog as fast as Sherlock can ride his bike? Or is it still too rainy for bikes?)
Can you tell I'm dodging doing anything useful? You can? Right. Time to go do useful things then...
rsf
RSF - I think it's various fruit that gets it in the shorts as far as practice sutures go. Bananas and stuff all get stitched up. Sherlock's sutured bananas under John's tuition already.
Mycroft's run with us a couple of times, and with just John. Sherlock does indeed ride his bike, although he wants me to make a moose, not run. He can ride faster than we run, but stays in sight. Plus now the dogs are with us too, they chase between all of us.
Dinner will be veg and pancetta-wrapped cod. All prepped, just needs cooking.
Pancetta wrapped cod sounds tasty. I might get ambitious enough to go to the store with that kind of incentive.
I seem to remember a mention of bananas with sutures, now that you say that. (Although I have a mental image of frankenbananas at breakfast.) It sounds like good hand-eye coordination exercise whether it goes on to people or not, actually. I'm pretty sure I can find curved needles. Maybe I'll let some of the library kids try their hand at it.
The run sounds like quite a calvalcade when Mycroft and the dogs are home. Excellent exercise though, even if there are still puddles for Sherlock.
Will you be tackling the moose after supper?
rsf
I hope you had/are having fun whatever you decided to do this afternoon!
(I wasn't sure when you got to sleep, L, because of when you posted.)
(Errr, I meant "commented". :))
RSF - it is tasty. And easy. Wrap the cod in pancetta, seal in a hot pan, chuck a bit of brandy over it whilst sealing, then stick it in the oven. Personally, I like a decent amount of black pepper on the cod before wrapping.
RR - was in bed asleep not too long after 8, spose
That's pretty fast to fall asleep after an adrenaline-fueled night, really.
Did you all go for a run/ride in the end?
It really wasn't adrenalin fuelled, and positively boring for the last few hours.
We did. Sherlock discovered the joys of cycling through puddles for maximum splash, and the dogs did some of their favourite sport of shaking-all-over-people.
I'm not sure whether to congratulate or commiserate about the boring part... :)
I dunno, all the splashing sounds pretty fun to me! :D
How long do you keep it in the oven and how hot an oven? I can definitely get the pancetta and cod, no problem. And it's got to be better than another night of takeaway.
rsf
Erm... about 200C, preheated, and about 8-10mins? You just need to watch for the fish to be cooked through - a little crumbly, almost. Depends how long you seal it for, how big your cod is, and how much pancetta you wrap around it (Sherlock likes a LOT. Sometimes I cook it for 15 mins.)
A bit of fresh lemon juice after cooking can be nice, too.
Otherwise, new potatoes, fresh veg, anything you've got goes well.
Sorry, I don't have a recipe, although I'm sure they exist, so I don't have exact times or anything!
Ah, the magic "you know what cooked protein looks like" method of cooking. I can do that. I just like having a ballpark to start my experimentation.
Thanks!
rsf
I might try making this tomorrow, speaking of good things to eat:
http://titlisbusykitchen.com/archives/cheesecake-raspberry-white-chocolate
You don't even have to bake it, you just mix things and put it in the fridge.
That looks lovely - I'm sure you'll find you have assistants keen to help too!
And hope tonight goes well L - mind how you climb walls/fences and hide in bins/compost heaps.
I don't have any opinion about recipes with bacon, but I have very strong (and strongly positive) opinions about raspberry/white chocolate/cheesecake. Yummmmmm! (It would probably put me in a sugar coma, but what a way to go! :))
That looks good. I used to make a banana and dark chocolate one like that - all mashed up, but keep me away from that biscuit base when you're mixing the biscuits and butter and it's hot... I could eat the whole lot, before it hits the cheesecake tin...
John - one of my favourite recipes is for lime cheesecake (it's better than it sounds), because every time I make it, it turns out just like proper cheesecake. And so many of my attempts at cooking don't quite turn out how they're supposed to (I attempted to make golden syrup oatmeal muffins today - they turned out as golden syrup flavour sponge blobs), it's good to know I can make something proper :-)
Lestrade - warm buttery digestive biscuit crumbs... mmmmm.
You could make biscuits from biscuit crumbs and butter and chocolate and make them in shapes and they would be good.
You could call them "biscuits plus"!
That sounds good, Sherlock. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use Titli's method of making the crumbs. Ouch!
rsf (who is adding to the shopping list now)
Sherlock - we could. And then I'd end up the size of a house.
Right, all booked on, now to go and take over... it hasn't rained yet today, but given I'm now going out, sorry to anyone in London, I expect the heavens will open shortly.
Have a good night, L. :)
A good night would be wrapped up in John on the sofa/in bed. But I shall try not to have a bad one...
Miss you, Danger. I'm cold. Which is ridiculous, as its July.
Miss you too. This summer is ridiculous generally.
Mmmm. Where are you taking us all on our holidays? - somewhere with sunshine, please ;)
Greece? Spain?
It's hitting mid 30s, low 40s in Southern Spain and Italy. Greece is a bit tricky, what with their economy collapsing... apparently you have to pay in cash, and take Dollars, just in case. Mind you, Spain probably isn't much better! Who cares, when it's sunny :)
Spain sonds easier then. Or maybe Portugal, I've never been there. Have you?
Why do you have to take dollars to Greece?
Nope, never. SOrry, was doing handover.
Anon - because the Euro was so unstable, and Greece seemed like they might pull out, they said to take dollars, or pounds sterling at the least. But it might have got better since I heard that.
A Not Bad night will do. A No Injuries night would also be good. :)
You have court tomorrow, L, right? Do you get a day off Tuesday, at least?
(I've no personal knowledge of Spain or Portugal or Greece. England is the only country in Europe I've been to, so it all sounds interesting to me. :))
Yeah, get home, change, get back out to court, hope it doesn't take all day, go back home, sleep, then on earlies on Tues and Weds, then off.
That sounds like a pretty Not Good schedule. I hope you get in and out court quickly at least!
Would that be the American dollar? Or the Canadian? Australian? Eastern Caribbean? New Zealand? Surinamese? Tuvaluan? Namibian? Liberian? or one of the other 12 or so dollars? 'cause I imagine you'd have a tough time getting some of those in England. ;)
- Currencially curious anon
Ah, American. That's the sort of thing that drives Mycroft mad...
Lack of specificity? Or anons who ask annoying/cheeky questions?
-CCA
Lack of specificity because you assume everyone else will make the same assumptions you did...
holiday? really? :-)
Somewhere sunny will do you all good even if it is only a few days :-)
Court in the morning sounds like a bit of a pain Greg so I hope the night's work doesn't leave you too worn out. :-)
I'd suggest Boston for your holiday, but you'd probably melt. How about the Azores, or Cape Verde?
rsf
AnonyBob - trying to get them to go on holiday that I will go on for a few days... not easy.
Might go quiet a bit, I'm driving for a bit tonight.
Danger, call me before you go to bed, if you want?
Greece is lovely, but I'd worry more about the plumbing than the economy :-p
Hope you have a just quiet enough night, and that court tomorrow is quick and painless.
Maybe Mallorca...
L - I will, thanks. Probably quite soon.
My t'ai chi instructor is going to Mallorca with his family in a week or two--they've been going for several years and love it there! (First they're going to Munich to visit his wife's family. :))
Whenever. might have to put you on speakerphone, so you might get bits of police radio cutting in. but they can't hear us, don't fret ;)
wherever it is, some privacy would be nice. and no crime :)
Sure it won't be like when Poirot or Miss Marple go on holidays, with dead bodies turning up wherever you go?
Ha! It's so true, they always do!
But you're probably safe. I mean, the bottom of a lock would have been a perfect place to find a body (in Christie-land), and nary a one did you guys turn up!
I have to go to court tomorrow, too, Lestrade -- jury duty. Here, that means I may or may not actually serve on a jury, so possibly I will be dismissed tomorrow. But there's no telling how long I'll have to wait to find out.
Hope your evening of surveillance is neither too boring nor too exciting. :)
ryo
They better not!
About to go to bed, but decided to mention that I have come up with a Cunning Plan B when it comes to Moose. Just in case you're still stuck.
http://rabidsamfan.livejournal.com/543299.html
You might need Mrs. Hudson's help with the sewing part, but I think Sherlock would have fun with the papier mache.
And now I just need to find something else to while away the insomniacal hours.
rsf
I don't know how long courts likely to take Greg but I hope you get a nap at some point or at least a bit of sit and relax time :-)
Last week of school Sherlock? I hope you learn some interesting things :-)
Have a good day John, you to mycroft.
Anonybob
RSF - Thanks. Moose-making will commence ... probably tomorrow, I suppose. Although I can honestly say I've never seen a dolly for stacks of chairs in my life. Maybe it's an American thing? We just drag them. Or sometimes you get special sort of sack truck, like this:
http://handle-it.com/Sack%20Truck%20For%20Moving%20Chair%20Stacks%20small.jpg
Also, there's a massive amount of health and safety the school has to consider. But we'll get there.
AnonyBob - nobody does. Court is a law unto itself ;) as long as I don't sleep through being called...
And try not to yawn loudly when in the witness box. Anyway hope it goes well L and that you do manage to get some sleep.
Interesting. What you call a sack truck I call a two wheeler. I have seen similar things used for chairs, now and then, but in places where you have to set up a lot of chairs and take them down a lot variously shaped dollies are more my experience. (Google images of "chair dolly" gives you lots of shapes.) You might try checking the school or hotels -- or the custodian/janitorial people at the Yard for that matter.
I suppose any kind of dolly would do, if you put it under a stack of three chairs. I know the stacks of chairs would hold a six year old's weight, because I've seen my twelve year olds on my chair stacks plenty of times. (right before I kick them off.) Might want to tape the chair legs together for extra stability, but even without the dolly you'd still have a stationary moose big enough for Sherlock to sit on.
Good luck with it! (And court, too!)
rsf
I'm hoping I'll be done soon...pleasepleaseplease let me be done soon.
Certainly no one can say you haven't asked nicely enough! (I hope you're done very soon...)
Sending cyber coffee your way Greg ;-) I hope you're home for some rest at some point :-)
Hey Ryo, I'm at jury duty this morning as well. Wouldn't it be funny if you were somewhere in this big room with me while the TV drones on endlessly.
Greg, hope we all get to be done soon. pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
Well I'm finally free. Even a mouthful of abuse from the accused's family didn't penetrate my aura of utter tiredness.
Now to bike home in the rain and fall into bed. Sorry Mycroft, John, I'm fit for nothing
Yikes! Drive safe...
Sleep well!
rsf
Home and asleep on the sofa... I'll have to move him to the bedroom at some point but he looks so peaceful.
He did look tired
Why is it that the sofa is always the most comfortable place when you're tired?
I hope he's not grumpy when you have to wake him John and that you can both get an early night to catch up tonight.
Not grumpy. Moving to hopefully allow Sherlock's velocity to be reduced by putting more doors between us when he welcomes me home...still bruised from his welcome this morning.
Ah, but isn't it nice to be loved so enthusiastically? :)
the day Sherlock want's to shake your hand rather than sit on your knee you'll miss the bruises!
I hope you got a bit more sleep although not so much you can't sleep tonight.
Aww, poor Lestrade. He does have a bit of a thing for that sofa, doesn't he?
Nameless, I'm not sure it's the sofa he has a bit of a thing for ;)
That would be funny, kholly. I finally got my court assignment, but I don't have to go there until this afternoon. There really has got to be a more efficient way to do this.
ryo
I have a soft spot for the sofa... but it is what generally sits on it that I'm more attached to :)
Ttid - Sorry, do I know you? I sort of forget that people reading this might be people I actually bump into sometimes.
A couch sounds really inviting just now, but I'm not sure how much sleep I'd get on one with large dogs in the vicinity. Or did Mycroft keep them from snuffling in your ear?
Glad you got a chance to rest, though. I'm seriously considering getting a hotel room with AC for tonight, just to see if it would make a difference.

Just happened to see you, Greg. You've got a face I wouldn't forget.
Heh. You make that sound almost sinister.
Lol didn't mean to sound sinister!
Hey, I'd like to think you wouldn't forget my face either, Danger - also for entirely innocent...oh, well, okay, not THAT innocent... reasons :)
Your face, and all other parts of you.
you need the option 'not at all I'd rather spend every minute with the dangerous doc and my two wonderful boys' in you poll.
