I'm off work on Thursday and Sunday. Giving up one day in an attempt to salvage a few of my hours back for next week, when I'll be doing the school run. It's going to show me just how few hours pass between sending Sherlock off to school and getting him back!
Just read a 'fact' (I have no evidence) - 'Sarcastic people are more creative'... thoughts?
Anyway, yes, Thursday, was going to take John out to meet Ella - our dance teacher :) Have a chat about what sort of thing we want to do. Should be fun. Or mortifyingly embarrassing. Or both?
And then ideally I'd like to get to the pub and play some guitar.
I can't stop thinking about John being away. I'm kind of excited - I mean, it'll be a challenge, fitting in work and keeping Sherlock entertained. But in a good way. I'm not sure I'm prepared for how much I'll miss John, though. Even thinking about him not being around at time like right now... just gets me right in the chest. Which is horrifically soppy, right? Been on my own plenty. But... yeah.
Finally, can't really let this post go without mentioning that the Commons passed the bill on same-sex marriage today, meaning it will now move to the stage of discussion by committee. And this has been pushed through by the same party who brought in Section 28 (although it was a minority of their members who actually voted for it) - hard to believe how times change.
(If anyone's confused by the Commons, the Lords, divisions, lobbying, the whips - just ask. I can't promise to give any sort of understandable or even accurate answer, though.)

'Sarcastic people are more creative'
From all the evidence I've seen I'd say that was very true ;-)
You won't have time to miss John most of the time because you'll be running around like a nutcase but he'll be there on the end of the phone at those moments when you need him. Its not he same I know but its something :-)
The fact that you will miss him and he will miss you and more importantly that you will tell each other that is really rather amazing :-)
Should be fun. Or mortifyingly embarrassing. Or both?
I think both, yeah.
I'll miss you too. It's only a week though, and Sherlock will keep you busy. Well, not even that, really. I can probably make it back late Friday.
We're only going to have a chat - pretty much. I mean, we're going to her place, so she said she'd give us an idea of what sort of thing she thinks we could do :)
I know it's not even a week... but I don't want you rushing back if you're tired or anything. I mean, it'll be a long ride, and you've not really been anywhere much on your own.
Who's going to warm my feet at night? ;)
Bed socks? :)
We'll see. You'll have to get Mycroft from school on Friday either way though. There's no way I'll make it home in time for that.
No worries. I'll either take a car or get Mrs H to keep an eye on Sherlock while I get Mycroft.
Probably the first, given the amount of stuff that Mycroft will have for a week here.
Yeah... It's silly to worry about going, right? You and Sherlock will be fine.
...dunno. What sort of things are you worrying about?
You may return to find not a single sock in the flat the right way in and not huddled in a ball under the bed...
Heh. I wasn't worrying about socks.
I don't know. Nothing specific. Just don't want anything to happen.
Right. I don't know. I mean...I'm sure it'll be fine, but until we can see into the future, can't make any promises.
Yeah. I know.
You can tell me, anything you're worried about. I won't be offended. I know leaving Sherlock with me is tantamount to leaving two kids home alone. Except one of them can reach all the dangerous stuff without a ladder ;)
It's nothing like that. Just formless, illogical worries.
...Well. I am mildly concerned about the socks.
I think some of the worst worries are the illogical ones. There's no making them listen to logic.
Yeah. That part's always irritating.
We'll only be on the other end of the phone :) And we can skype, if Sherlock teaches me how...
True. At least I'm not leaving for the internetless hinterlands.
Well...Birmingham..so almost ;)
Mycroft just sent this:

It's weird that I can practically pinpoint our flat.
Better than where you got sent...
Oh... That's amazing.
Wow!
You can look at that, Danger, when you're away...and when there's an even brighter spot, followed by a plume of smoke... you'll know where we are ;)
you should stop winding your fiance up Mr Lestrade ;-)
Never, AnonyBob - it's what I live for!
It's true. The gleam he gets in his eye is pure happiness...
that's just the gleam whenever I see you, Danger.
You have an amazing talent for making me feel better, you know. Thanks.
And you me.
Bed? Time's a-wasting, Doc. Need to get my fill of you while you're here (no giggling at the back there, I know how you read that!!)
And they know how you meant it too...
By all means.
How very dare you.
Hmm. You know I have no defence against your smile.
I just ate a cereal bar tougher than my bullet proof vest.
...
I'm guessing you missed lunch?
tougher than my bullet proof vest.
Speaking of which...

Ha, John! (But does it come in purple? :))
That was lunch, RR
Danger- lovely. Get The boys one each.
Oy vey.
Have you had a good day at work Greg? but for the bullet proof lunch or course ;-)
I hope Sherlock's being his very best amazing self for you John :-)
BTW, L, I've had your title's tune playing in my head all day! (Which is not a bad song to have in there, actually. :))
I did have an apple and a coffee too , not just the indestructible bar. And yeah, busy! But off tomorrow :) so I don't mind.
And off home soon, I hope!
busy's good really, it means time moves quicker towards hometime :-)
