The poor guy with the vibrator stuck up his bum, livetweeting about it.
I don't suppose I can particularly comment, given I've blogged whilst under the influence of drugs and whilst kidnapped. But...well, good on the guy. He took it well. So to speak.
Today we were woken insanely early (6 - which actually isn't that early, for him) by Sherlock.
I say 'we'. John mumbled, rolled over, stole my pillow and jammed it over his head and mumbled.
I took Sherlock in to the sitting room and released him onto Harry. Which completely serves her right, for giving him to us on a sugar high last night. He bounced. And yelled. And offered her tea, repeatedly, then dropped toast crumbs on her head. Then left a banana skin in her duvet. Then made a dog lick her hand.
Oddly, in some familial trait, she also grabbed a cushion, shoved it over her head and mumbled.
I took pity and made her coffee.
We eventually made proper breakfast, for everyone and Harry escaped shortly after.
Then we went for a walk, and saw this - Sherlock now wants one:
It's an 'insect hotel' - it's about 5 feet tall, all those holes filled with different bits and bobs - old pots, twigs, logs, grasses, all sorts. I assume it's more a block of flats than a hotel, really, as I doubt the insects get charged by the night and have to book in advance etc.
John shouted at the rugby a bit, I fell asleep on him, Sherlock continued making a huge glittery card for his Mum. I was useless and realised I don't have Mum's address, and failed to get it in time to send anything...so have begged Nicky to sort out a card and fake my writing. I hope she does.
Mycroft is reading a book. I think it might be Latin, from the little I've seen. Which...well, I can often get the gist of, a little bit. Except I think it's about something complicated.
Have something simpler:

Glad to know she suffered appropriately for her cupcake crimes...
That insect hotel really is amazing. I sort of want one myself. Although not in our room, unlike Sherlock.
I fear that when he's living in his own place large portions of the place will be given over to wildlife...in various forms.
You won't be able to walk through a room without bats swooping on you and snakes slithering up your trousers.
snakes slithering up your trousers.
There's already a large snake in my trousers, and he's normally very happy to see you ;)
May that be the only snake ever up your trousers!
That is the happiest owl in the world.
That's how I look when you mess with my hair when I've got a headache. Only greyer.
Ha. Now that you mention it, I do see some resemblance...
I may be speaking too soon...but Sherlock seems...tired? He's very quiet. Dare we hope??
He must be, surely, after yesterday. Hope so, I don't want to send him off to be cranky and tired at his mum tomorrow.
I think he'll be out like a light. I'll go and tuck him in.
There is glitter everywhere.
I know, there's some in your ear too and it's all over the bottoms of my socks.
So you're not going to visit your mother tomorrow, I take it, if Nicky's forging your handwriting?
You said you wanted to spend the day together. I assumed you didn't mean in a nursing home.
Well, it'd be nice, of course, yeah. But if you want to go and see her that's all right too, and I can come along or not, as you like.
no, you said you wanted some just us time. So that's what we'll have.
All right, love. Thank you.
...You're sure it's okay?
Yeah, course it is.
Your day sounds like fun :-)
I hope the boys have fun with their mum tomorrow and that you two have fun together :-)
I'm sure we all will :)
And, dare I say it...there might be more of the s-word on Monday morning.
Anyone else listening to TMS? It's lovely on a peaceful night like tonight. Can mainly hear, over John's snoring ;)
I have been, good isn't it? Peaceful is the word, like listening into a light, good tempered conversation between friends. Just very, very English.

TMS?
Yeah, the general confusion over them reading out tweets people have ....tweeted at them? Sent to them? was hilarious.
I'm dropping off though - which was the intention :)
RR - Test Match Special. It's live commentary from the test match.
Test Match Special - Cricket commentary on the radio (or online these days). It's peculiar because it is and it isn't about the cricket. This evening they spent some time discussing games everyone played as kids for instance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Match_Special gives an overview

I like Geoffrey's reluctance to have anything to do with such modernities as twitter :)
Lancs. Anon
Lancs. - Any show where the Wiki page has the headings 'Cake' and 'Beards' can't be bad, can it? :)
No, it really can't, nor one where the commentators discuss pigeons, buses and the state of nearby cranes!
Sleep well

My ex was from Norfolk and a cricket nut so I'm more familiar with TMS than I really need to be!
This discussion reminds me of this sketch:

Brilliant, Scottish Anon :) That is Blowers all over.
A strange calm (ish) has descended on the flat. We still have two large hounds, but no boys.
Think we might head out for a walk. Hopefully lunch in a nice country pub? Who knows...
I expect the blogs might be a bit quiet too, without boys to make noise, and the two of you with a chance to be together quietly. Unless the hounds start pining for Mycroft, that is.
I came across a chocolate cake recipe Sherlock might like when he gets back. It doesn't use eggs or milk, just vinegar. And it's delicious.

I did discover the dogs don't like Crufts earlier... the TV only just survived. Don't think they like all those strange dogs in their living room!
John and I have to make the most of this morning. It's England vs. Italy later... it might end badly ;)
Did you see the thing on the telly about dog tv Greg?
I didn't, no.
apparently some 'experts' have developed a TV channel to entertain dogs while their owners are at work! if it had been the 1st of april when I saw it I would have picked it as an april fool but apparetly its for real!
Have a good day both of you and try not to argue too much over the rugby ;-)
The only time I've ever seen a dog watch tv it was for a show about training dogs. The presenter said "sit" and the dog did!
England vs Italy? I take back what I said about a quiet day! :D I hope it's a great match.
rsf
We've decided against the pub - too many other people ;)
Chilling out at home. Have made John macaroni cheese with blue cheese and bacon instead. And now the calm before the rugby storm...
I may fall into a cheese coma...
All in a good cause. :)
Excellent. I'll win any rugby related fights then ;)
Just reading "macaroni cheese with blue cheese and bacon" made my stomach growl. Is it easy to make? Are we talking just making the macaroni and tossing in the rest? Because I know they've got blue cheese and bacon up at the grocery store and it's only a twenty minute walk away.
rsf
Yeah - just cook off the bacon, in a frying pan - or grill it, if you want. Chop it up after if you've done it in full rashers.
Get some blue cheese and some cream, pour the cream in a pan, add the cheese, stir until it's melty-goodness, chuck in the bacon, stir more, then either stir in whatever pasta you've cooked or spoon the sauce over the top.
(I should mention - I'm not expecting Italy to win this match. But every point we take off England is a small victory!!)
oh, beautiful try! Go on, kick it!!
John is clutching a cushion, yelling, as Italy keep up the attack...
Must be nearly over now? I've flicked over to watch the football, Man U went 2-0 up within ten minutes :-)
It is over - 18-11. Italy nearly got another try at the end, but wasn't to be.
Think we gave England a hard game - far harder than they thought! England look knackered.
So you're now both fed, happy and alone for a couple of hours... I hope you enjoy whatever you happened to find to pass the time until the boys are back :-)
I was cheering very hard for the Italians - great shame they didn't win ;)
Nameless - well...we've been forced to get dressed again, as we don't know when the boys will be back ;)
SH - They did so well! If only that last try had gone over, the result would have been a better representation of the game.
Right, food now. Worked up an appetite...
....been called by work. Hoping I don't actually have to go in.
Cross your fingers for me?
Is it a new one or something from that other one?
New.
That would seem not to bode well.
Yeah, body been found.
Sorry, I've been having such a great day, don't want to go.
At least it wasn't this morning. It was lovely to have the day together. I hope it's not too bad.
Yeah. Right. bollocks.
Give the boys a hug for me - I hope they've had a great day with their Mum.
Hopefully I'll be back after seeing the scene. It's not a 'new' death - just newly discovered, so there won't be the usual manic stage in case the suspect is still nearby.
Oh, Lestrade, that sucks :-( I hope you manage to get back home soon.
John - presumably the boys are back soon? Or is Mycroft due to go back to school tonight? I hope they've had an excellent day with Mrs H.
He's back to school tonight, yeah. And Mrs H just rang to say she'll keep Sherlock overnight. He's very excited.
Awwww, that's sweet. :) (Obviously the glittery card went over well!)
I hope L gets back home in a reasonable amount of time.
That crazy cake recipe is one I use all the time, RSF. Very tasty.
Hope you can get home in good time, and that the scene is not too unpleasant.
Kestrel, I get so many good recipes and food ideas here that I wanted to share that one. And then after I posted it I couldn't remember if I'd gotten it from here. But cake and chemistry just sounds like Sherlock to me.
rsf
Oh, and p.s. Blue cheese and bacon macaroni is out of this world good. Even if you use milk instead of cream. Thanks, L!
