I'll let you all know where your response came on the pink-ear-o-meter that John has, once I'm home tonight. If he doesn't kill me. Still, the reason I'm posting this now is because I won't see him for a few more hours, and this way I'll die laughing, at least!
Thank you, Harry, for my lovely Christmas picture of John. It's on my desk next to the other one...
He looks rather triumphant, doesn't he? Although I don't think it's the most flattering of cuts. Not that I'm any expert ;) Nice figure under that gauzy bit of...whatever, though.
Anyway, guess away, and be glad you're all out of pillow-throwing range.
Three days of freedom after today - culminating, on Sunday night, with us all taking Mycroft back to school on the bikes. Sherlock is desperate to show everyone how grown up he is by going on the bike.

That is the best photo so far, I really hope we're going to find out why on earth John let it be taken ;-)
Oh no...
Oh yes.
I like the purple bit where it goes from black to purple.
School play? Costume party? (I'm boring, I know. :))
I hope you close in on your suspect today, L, and that you, Sherlock, Mycroft, and John, are having a good afternoon. And hooray for a lovely three-day end of school-holiday holiday!
How did Harry get that? She wasn't even there!
The color shading is nice, Sherlock! (Although a blouson is nearly always a mistake, style-wise. ;))
Very fetching. Something to slip on between shoots whilst underwear modelling?
You weren't any of the events from which you now possess pics of me.
SH - I like your theory.
It looks very grecian inspired to me. And you've said he's a God. I think the conclusion is obvious. This is John in his alter-identity. Apollo? Mercury? Apollo seems more likely to this humble commenter.
(And both you and RR are correct, that cut flatters almost nobody)
Drama production of Shakespeare (modern interpretation) at school/uni?
Tina
The style isn't very flattering on anyone, but I do like the color, and the top half is very nice, it accentuates your shoulders. ;-P
Was this Army or before? If Army, I'm going to guess fashion show? If medical school... Triple dog dare?
If medical school, what were you about to do with that fist that you look so happy about? Hard to guage your age...you look quite youthful though.
After medical school.
Lost a bet?
About to make a music video?
rsf
Looks a bit too pleased to have lost a bet, RR.
So...with that window design, was this one of you forays to Egypt?
I'm not sure I should say. I should just leave your curiosity unfulfilled...forever.
I'll ask Murray
Won a bet? (The outfit being a part of said bet?)
I'll ask Murray
You don't understand the magnitude of that threat...
Maybe I'll post about it tonight.
Maybe I'll post about it tonight
No no John, it should say
I'll post about it tonight and put you all out of your nosiness ;-)
My thought process was:
'i wonder if Murray was there and knows why Danger was dressed like that...'
'Ah, hell, even if he has no clue, once he sees the pic he'll make up a brilliant story, regardless!'
There's no threat quite like that of asking an Army buddy about the past. Good luck with that, John.
exactly!
Are you making those cookies, Sherlock?
Danger - well, it's asking Murray or asking you :) I think he may be more entertaining...but who will be more truthful?
I'll try to be both, but he's almost always more entertaining.
Sherlock is indeed making those cookies. Mostly by himself. The kitchen is coated with chocolate.
Are you coated in chocolate?
Mycroft is...
Mycroft is a VERY good brother.
Oh my, you guys, I didn't mean to send Sherlock on a chocolate spree when I posted the recipe.
zeph
Don't worry - between me, John, Mycroft and the dogs the mess won't last long. Although John won't believe there's chocolate behind his ear that needs licking off...and he's moaning my leather jacket's too cold for me to grab him and try to get it...
Well, you are welcome then, I guess. And chocolate is such a pesky thing, it gets everywhere ;)
zeph
Although John won't believe there's chocolate behind his ear that needs licking off.
And was there any? ;)
I hope the dogs didn't get too much chocolate.
Did Sally have any theories about John's picture on your desk?
RR - Are you doubting that I told the truth??
Anon - No, they tend to hoover up around the floor, but I doubt they got much. They're so huge that they could probably eat a whole Dairy Milk before it was poisonous to them anyway! (Not that we'll try.)
I'm afraid I didn't really put it on my desk. But she did see it on here and say she thought his outfit was more tasteful than my miniskirt. Some people have no taste!
You did not actually tell us that there was chocolate there, you know--only that John didn't believe that there was. So I asked. ;)
Ah, so you assumed I was trying to lick fictional chocolate from him?
It is not outside the bounds of possibility--and low calorie, too!
Have to agree with everyone else - a blouson is not a flattering look, even on a young Dr Hotson. Nice colour though :-)
Lestrade - have you found all of the chocolate - or are you going to have to wait until later to check more closely, just to be sure?
Are the biscuits tastier than John? or have you not been allowed to try either yet this evening?
Nameless - I'll have to check later, obviously. Full body search.
Hey, Sherlock, you should read this:
http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/01/kissing-uses-all-34-muscles-of-the-face-infographic/
I only said you might take your jacket off first...
I read that link's url and somehow expected it to be about elephant facial muscles.
But i was warm inside it ;)
I thought he might like a bit of science... although how many years do I add to my life kissing you in the morning, if a husband gains 5yrs kissing his wife?? Mind you...if you're going to start wearing dresses...
If I started wearing the dress in that picture, it might take years off both our lives.
I really have no desires to see you in a dress. Really.
No offence to anyone who likes slapping a dress on...but dresses on blokes I like really doesn't do it for me!
Ha. You have nothing to worry about, believe me.
I have plenty...but I'm glad that's not one of them.
Anything in particular?
Nothing out of the ordinary. Mum and work, mainly.
That's probably more than enough.
Sometimes feels like it. Still, three days with my three favourite people now, right? How much time will be allowed to spend off the bikes by his lordship?
I'm sorry life is out of balance for you Greg. Enjoy the time with your boys and try and do a bit of ignoring of the other stuff, it won't go away but it might look like less bother after three days of fun and laughter :-)
If he gets his way, none I'm sure. There w will have to be done form of compromise.
I don't know where the done came from.
We'll have to find some places to go, maybe? So even if we bike there, we have a few hours off :)
Did you wear that sock on your head all day? ;)
have you put it back??
Don't know what you mean.
Although I will say you're rather easily distracted from people putting things on your head...
I wouldn't say very easily... You've been fairly distracting, what with insisting I still have chocolate behind my ear.
It was Mycroft who put it there.
Well, you guys are certainly brightening my evening! :)
(I'm sorry your mum and your work are currently stress-producing, L--I hope your three-day break will help there.)
...I don't know whether to believe that or not...
'Grassing up' your partner in crime, Lestrade? I would have expected more loyalty.
I may have to have my people 'deal with' you.
uh oh, someone's in trouble ;-)
Ha. If his 'people' are Sherlock and/or Anthea...you're in serious trouble.
And someone's put that damn sock back on my head, how many times am I going to have to remove this thing!
The real question, John, is have they turned it the right way out?
That is actually rather frightening, coming from you, Mycroft.
Although you didn't have to admit to being my partner in crime...
Danger, to be fair, it's a new sock - the one that's been on my foot all day today, rather than the one that had been on my foot all day yesterday...sockhawk2!
Nameless - it is, at least, right side out.
L - that is not a 'new' sock, that is a newly sweated upon sock, which is not better than yesterday's sock!
Well, I took it off hours ago, when I got home. It's probably reached the slightly-crispy stage now, rather than the 'damp' stage.
I'm honestly not sure if that's better or worse. It's not a question I've had to contemplate up to now. At least not in regard to socks going on my head.
no nameless the real question is why are Greg and Mycroft being conned into believing John doesn't want to be distracted rather than post the story of the picture ;-)
I'm sure he'd rather tell the story... but I really need some sleep, so even if he does, I won't see it until morning.
Which doesn't, of course, mean you fine folks shouldn't wait up to hear it...
I rather fear waking up tomorrow completely buried in socks and pot plants and things...
I think i'd much rather go to bed with you than explain that photo.
Don't think you're getting out of it though. I've got three days now to pile socks on your head until you talk.
Unless you'd rather I took it down and never mentioned it again, which is fine too.
I was only kidding.
Sleep well both of you :-)
I don't really mind, I'll do it tomorrow. After I steal all your socks. Or at least all the dirty ones.
I'll just find other things to put on you :)
C'mon, bed, my....coughnumber.... of mugs of coffee today are clearly not helping me stay awake.
How about if you put a motorcycle under me instead? I'd prefer that. And it isn't sweaty or crispy.
Bed sounds wonderful.
I can think of better things to put under you. Can't guarantee they won't get sweaty though...
I sense I'll like this idea better than socks...
I would have expected more loyalty.
No honor amongst pranksters... *shakes head sadly*
We've had pancakes this morning and now the washing is done and i tidied my room we're going out on the bikes!
Have fun, Sherlock! ... and everybody else who's going.
Tina
How lovely, Sherlock! I hope you--all four of you--have the best time!
That sounds like a great start to a day, Sherlock. Have you picked where you're going to go on the bikes, or are you just going to go until you stumble across someplace interesting enough to stop?
rsf
We've found a cosy pub to stop for lunch in.
If Sherlock doesn't stop blowing bubbles in his soup he'll be walking home.
John wants to try it too. You can tell just by looking at him.
He is a bit of a hooligan. Been riding the streets half the morning with a sock stuck to the top of his helmet like a right tearaway.
There is no sock on my helmet! I'm sure I would've noticed.
It fell off. Or maybe it was never there. Only your pillion would know...
My pillion stuck a sock to my head last night! At least I can be sure it wasn't a succulent this time.
He's a naughty pillion.
Or maybe I imagined the sock he taped to your helmet before we pulled away from the parking spot earlier...
...They're both grinning at me now, looking eerily similar for not being related by blood.
Well, then, you might as well try blowing bubbles in your soup! (How does one do that without a straw? *decides to have soup for lunch*)
It's nice to see that you're taking your "bad influence" duties so seriously.
Or not, as the case may be.
Currently teaching sherlock the words to 'Lola' so he can sing it to John with me.
Sherlock charmed the bar lady into giving him cream and ice cream on his chocolate fudge cake by telling her about our dogs - in comparison to her dog, which wasn't even there - based on the dog hair stuck to her tights.
Excellent, Sherlock! (Both things. :))
Oh, that was very clever, Sherlock - what did you notice about the dog hairs that was different to Phobos and Deimos?
I saw this and thought of you lot

I have no idea why ;-)
I hope your evening is treating you all to rest and fun.
