Isn't it beautiful? On Lake Baikal in Russia, apparently.
It's approximately that cold here...
Well, today's been way warmer, actually. I mean, started out freezing, but the sun came out - along with some odd, and very beautiful, snow showers... which was slightly weird. Felt more like blossom falling than snowflakes.
We dragged Mycroft away from his books and laptop and went to Kew for a wander. Lovely snowdrops there. Did us all good to get out in the fresh air, I'm sure.
Coughing is seriously boring. I am SO over it (as Carla would say.) Have achey stomach, chest, and now a headache, just to top it off. All from excessive and undoubtedly very annoying coughing. Sherlock experimented on me earlier, and found out that if I tip my head back my cough gets much more 'chesty' sounding and more like a seal barking. I'm assuming it's something to do with opening the airways or something. Who knows? (The man beside me on the sofa probably, actually...)
Anyway, other news...Tomorrow afternoon, once everyone is home, packed, and ready, we are going away. Back Monday night. Most of my plans are coming together...fingers crossed.
Art class today was fun. We painted eggs with ink. I did my very very best not to giggle when John was getting help with his blowing technique...(eggs, I assure you!) As he was told, with much seriousness, just to 'keep going gently until the liquid starts coming out the end...then a few more puffs and it will all spurt out'. I had a laughing...I mean coughing! fit... Yes.
Then Sherlock painted me with ink, because painting himself was too awkward.

She had to know what that sounded like, right? I mean...really.
I doff my cap to her if she did and managed to be so serious as I laughed and your ears went pink. That's a talent!
'And it'll all spurt out...' I thought your lung was going to spurt out you were cackling so much...
That ice is amazing. Let's go there. At some point.
On the bikes? :)
It nearly did! I'm sure she was entirely innocent - used to teaching kids, isn't she? ;)
Yes, on the bikes!
Uh huh...
Excellent :)
How's your shoulder today?
Not bad. It's certainly been worse. It was fine most of the day.
And you'll be okay riding tomorrow? Because we can pile in the car, if you'd rather.
No, I'll be fine. What about you and your cough? Would the car be more comfortable?
Happily a cough is very easily transportable, and will probably fit just on top of my tank-bag.
Sherlock, however, demands I turn his headset down, or I deafen him.
Coming from someone who sings constantly at the top of his lungs...oh wait, that's both of you. ;)
I can find other people to give your birthday presents to if you're going to be mean!
Or we shall make you suffer by singing 'Happy Birthday to you' ALL the way there.
That's not mean! I never said I didn't like your singing.
Mm. True. Okay, presents are yours.
And we probably won't have time to sing with Sherlock guessing where we're going all the way there...he won't give up, now he knows Mycroft got it.
Good, because I really want them! Years of none at all and then you - you're spoiling me.
True...
Not spoiling you at all.
C'mon, away to bed. Got a busy day tomorrow ;)
Have a great day today, guys and a great weekend. Enjoy all the singing and guessing.
