Harry sent me this, to prove I wasn't the only one.
Look at how blond he is! Look at his little fringe and his shirt all-buttoned-up. What a lovely lad, eh?
Not to mention the big wide smile. Could just pinch those cheeks, couldn't you??
Had a lovely lazy day today, despite it starting with Sherlock hiding his school uniform...
Mycroft's been studying lots. John and I have shopped, drunk coffee, lazed about. Then we all picked up Sherlock and went for more coffee and cake.
It's weird having blossom on the trees and snow on the ground. And it's bloody freezing. Ridiculous. John keeps frowning at me because of this sea lion that keeps barking in my chest.
Now chaos has returned again, with Sherlock giving Mycroft all sorts of grief for something. Mycroft is currently rising above it...not quite sure for how long.
Mycroft - here's something John found for you. I don't pretend to understand it all, but it looks pretty amazing! Hope you can escape your younger brother for a bit.
Siblings, eh, Johnny? Who'd have 'em? ;)

Why does she do this to me? Whyyyyy.
You'd have to ask Nicky, not me. I don't pretend to understand sisters. Or brothers. Or anyone.
But you are cuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
I am notttttt.
Oh, John. So adorable. I just want to ruffle you hair....
yep adorable is the only word for you John ;-)
I'm glad you've all had a good day and I hope Mycroft finds an appropriate way to deal with Sherlock ;-)
MYCROFT SOUNDS SILLY he was talking to Lestrade earlier and he SQUEAKED and then went bright red and it was funny.
Sherlock, give Mycroft a break. You'll be just the same when you're his age! And as you're so desperate to grow up, I'm sure you're looking forward to it.
Nameless - he does look very...ruffleable, doesn't he?? (Still does!)
Is tormenting Mycroft making you feel better Sherlock? Because it sounds as if he's having to do lots of school work this week, even though he's not at school; I would have thought you'd want to do something nice for him...
Lestrade - distinctly ruffleable, yes :-)
He should do schoolwork because I'M still at school not even at home!
Did you do anything interesting at school today, Sherlock?
Driven by his need to model himself upon me he is now thirsty for my company, it seems.
He has clearly missed me greatly during the school term, and must find ever more elaborate ways of gaining my attention now I am at home.
There is no other rational explanation.
The weird thing is how little you've changed!
Lancs. Anon
AM NOT
Then I suggest you desist your annoying and attention-seeking behaviour.
Are you that nervous about your exams, Mycroft?
Lancs - he is as youthful as ever, huh?
RR - how nervous is 'that nervous'? He doesn't strike me as the nervous type, our Mycroft.
(Glad to report Sherlock has, for the time being, stopped annoying his big bro. Wish I'd had that knack.)
Well, he usually seems rather better at interacting with Sherlock. I'd like to assume there was a reason.
I'm glad Sherlock's feeling less inclined to bug his brother :-)
I think Sherlock's usually less annoying, really. I'm sure everything will calm down after a few days - especially once Sherlock's not all grumpy about school and not knowing where we're going and still not being allowed to go to Kung Fu or clamber on too much.
I think they're going to have a slightly awkward time, as Mycroft becomes very much a young adult whilst Sherlock is still a child. 7 years isn't a lot when you're older, but it sure is at this age.
I have siblings 1, 5, and 15 years younger than myself, so I am familiar with the phenomenon. :) (FWIW, I'd say it's well worth it. I get on very well indeed, now, with the younger two; the sister only a year younger and I have enormously different outlooks on life, so... *shrug*)
Yes, John, you were (and I understand on good authority, still are) adorable. Do thank Harry for the picture ;)
Just put Sherlock to bed. We listened to TMS for a short while, to calm down.
He quizzed me about cricket, then declared it 'boring' :)
I feel we might have done this before... but any cricket questions are welcome. (It's day five of the third test against NZ, for anyone who doesn't know.)
how does anyone not like cricket? Its the thing to watch/listen to when you just need to turn your brain off :-)
I'm glad Sherlock's in bed ok, I hope he sleeps well and can find his uniform in the morning ;-)
AnonyBob - I don't think he minds the cricket as much as the TMS chatter. He gets annoyed when they don't talk about the cricket, but about the buses/wildlife/old days. And he hates the names for the fielding positions, for some unfathomable reason.
He doesn't have a lot of patience for stories about the 'old days' generally. Unless they contain murders. And/or glitter.
By the way, you're all wrong. I am not adorable.
Ruggedly handsome?
That's the best thing about TMS Greg Sherlock is just not old enough to appreciate it yet ;-)
The more you protest John the more adorable you become sorry ;-)
I know, AnonyBob. I'm sure he'll appreciate some friendly voices in the wee small hours of the night at some point in his life - just chatting about gulls and silly-mid-offs and cakes (he should like the cakes!).
you might not appreciate the idea of cake being put in his head in the small hours of the morning though so probably a good thing he's not into it just yet ;-)
Does Mycroft appreciate TMS or is he fast asleep having worked his brain hard today?
True...
Mycroft doesn't mind it. He doesn't complain, anyway. But I think he usually has other things to do.
He usually listens to music in his room I think. Drowns out the chaos around him ;)
you can't blame him for that, although heavy metal didn't stirke me as his kind of thing and I can't think of much else that would drown out Sherlock ;-)
Anonybob - I imagine any music turned up loud enough would drown out the background noise :-p
Well, I shall take advantage of the peace and quiet to...take advantage of John ;)
night all.
G'night gents :-)
Wow, Mycroft. I wish I'd been able to shut down difficult sibling interactions with my younger sister so well. We're six years apart; I well remember how frustrating it could be that she still wanted me to be a little kid when I obviously wasn't anymore. It usually wound up with screaming and tears in our case though, so maybe I wasn't as grown up as I thought.
I hope you've been able to see the comet, Mycroft, despite Sherlock. It's been too cloudy here, except for one night, but I got too cold and had to go in before I'd managed to locate it.
My oldest sister and I are seven years apart, and while it made a huge difference when we were 7 and 14, we get along pretty well nowadays. But I can remember wanting to play with her just at the time when she was feeling too grown up to play, and it was very frustrating for both of us.
rsf
Anonybob, there's plenty of classical music that could be played loud enough to drown out Sherlock (where do you think heavy metal got all its ideas from?).
how goes your day gentlemen? full of relaxation I hope and possibly a tiny bit of relaxation for you as well Mycroft :-)
Mycroft's encouraged us to go out to lunch so he can get on with his work..or, L suggests, blast Bach at full volume...
I was encouraging Bach this morning when I was in court to get you going
Too early...
Look on the bright side. Apart from not going to court on a rest day, the next best thing is a late change to a guilty plea and coming home again :)
Very true. Or as Carla texted me recently, 'true dat'. Which reminds me, I'm supposed to get you to call her about us coming to visit or the other way around.
Over Easter? I should go and see Mum, really
Yeah, that'll be good. I wonder if she and Mycroft have made plans for a grand tour of the surrounding area.
She's been dropping very heavy hints about you and I taking them off roading on bikes.
Not, as my phone suggests, off tossing on blokes...
Right, no tossing on blokes. I'm sure Nicky wouldn't approve. The bikes would be fun though.
Tossing on the right bloke can be fun ;)
Even more fun than off roading, occasionally...
Are you coming along to pick up Sherlock?
(I am, if any of you wondered)
