Once I'd woken up enough to stand, we got up and went to have breakfast and bake some biscuits. John managed to appear shortly after breakfast and sort of...drape himself over me in a very sleepy hug while I was mixing up biscuit dough. He also managed to drink tea, taste dough and eat toast.
Sherlock was ready to go, in full biking gear, on the sofa, about half an hour before we were leaving. But he wasn't excited or anything. Naaaah.
We headed to meet Mycroft, who was just getting back from taking the dogs out when we arrived. He decided we should go for a ride, and get lunch out somewhere, so we did exactly that. Sherlock probably didn't stop talking the entire ride. I'm not sure if Mycroft kept his headset on or not...
So, basically, we had a lovely day together. We get him back for the Bank Holiday weekend next weekend, too. He wants to go allotmenting - we showed him pics of what we've done.
And I wondered if Sherlock thought we should have this for our wedding cake...what do you think, Kiddo?
Although we should probably have purple flowers on ours...

Wow, that cake is gorgeous, who wouldn't want a momento mori at their wedding? Seriously though, I'm glad you had such a good day
Lancs. Anon
I'm always awake enough for biscuit dough...
That is an impressive cake.
yay for a good day and even better that you get Mycroft back next weekend, not long until the summer hols now!!
That cake is lovely in an odd kind of way ;-)
Sherlock is. Charging around being a skate now, under his duvet. Occasionally wrapping his wings around one of us. I may turn into an orca or something...
HE'S CHASING ME
OH NO!!
Sorry, Sherlock, laughing too hard to save you...
I'M GOING TO EAT YOU
(the best thing is he is still flapp...undulating, I mean, as he escapes!) OR DOESN'T ESCAPE...
Sherlock's making skate noises...
Mrs Hudson is going to wonder what's going on up here soon. I shall offer her skate for dinner!
JOHN
WHAAAAT
HE GOT ME HELP
Perfect end to a perfect day.... :D
OH NO Sherlock, I hope you escape :-)
I'm afraid he's been eaten by multiple fnug layers...
and escape only comes with sun rise I'm guessing ;-)
i'm fairly sure I've done a very bad job of calming him down for bed...
We'll all survive a late night. Want to go for a walk?
Yeah. Shall I unwrap my prey and let him undulate into the night?
YES! Can we get ice cream?
I sort of hope he's still undulating at school. I want to see Mrs N's reaction.
No ice cream! Only walking and/or undulation.
definitely no ice cream. Walking and hopefully, for you, carrying, because you're too tired to undulate any more. It's late! You've got chicks to examine in the morning.
I'm not tireddddddddd
I can't believe you're not tired. And even if you're not now, you might be tomorrow if you don't sleep. Just be calm and quiet and we'll see how you are when we're back home.
Okay. The chicks make really small noises.
I hope I can come and see them sometime soon, before they get too big.
Yesssss you have to. Come after school it won't take any longer than coffee with John and you do that all the timeeee.
I'll try.
Want a piggy back?
The answer was yes. Aaand I think he's asleep now...
60 to zero in nothing flat. :)
He's just far too excitable. And getting big and heavy.
Seems like he's getting bigger all the time.
be as tall as you soon ;)
Yeah, yeah...
Glad you can still carry him when he zonks out like that.
Only just... and only when we're close to home! Seems crazy that I could carry him on one arm when we first knew him.
He reminds me of you when he's all tired and gets woken up to get in his pyjamas/clean his teeth. All floppy and scowly and mumbles lots ;)
I've had a lovely day today. Thank you.
I can't carry my five year old and I struggle with the two year old to be honest so I'm beyond impressed that you can carry a Sherlock year old and especially an asleep one ;-)
I hope he sleeps in a little in the morning and you two get some good rest :-)
All floppy and scowly and mumbles lots
I mumble less often about skates and the inside of dead people's fridges though.
I've had a lovely day today. Thank you.
Me too. It was great. Thank you.
You mumble about all sorts of weird stuff in your sleep though :)
(Peaches, the other night. I think.)
...I do? Really?
It sounds like you all had a perfect day! What a great way to end the weekend. I hope you all get a good rest tonight.
Sometimes. Not every night. And I can't always understand it. But sometimes you come out with all sorts of old bollocks. :)
Thanks, Piplover!
Huh. No one ever mentioned it before.
I think I've mentioned it before...
Doesn't everyone occasionally talk in their sleep? Most people I've slept with have.
Have you? Maybe you have. Now that you mention it, I seem to remember being surprised about it before too. Ha.
Probably not everyone, but I haven't made that extensive a survey.
Well you know I do. Come on, undulate into bed with me and you can continue your studies.
An excellent plan, as usual.
John's coming into school to see the chicks and next year I want ducklings! That would be the best we could teach them to swim on the pond and everything and it would be great.
I've never been accused of talking in my sleep, although some mistakenly say that I snore ;) OH sometimes talks, as does my son.
Hope you all have a good week, with lots more excitement along the way - for Sherlock, I suspect L you would prefer there wasn't too much excitement at work. Have you chosen the butterflies yet?
And wishing everyone else a good week too, with the right amount of excitement.
I think you'll have to talk to the school about ducklings. There won't be room for any kids soon, the amount of livestock you have.
Have fun with the chicks, Danger.
SH - I read that as 'the right amount of excrement' which might be more fitting, for my job.
L - I presume the right amount would be zero.
Yeah. Never get zero though.
Then I shall wish you a low excitement day (or afternoon, at this point). Until you meet the chicks, if you can get away for that, because clearly that will be a high excitement bit. :)
Way too busy yoday
That doesn't sound unexciting enough.
(Maybe you'll have a chance later in the week.)
A busy day that's nearly over Greg? maybe?
How were the chicks Sherlock, did you enjoy showing John?
Very unexciting, actually.
Over sometime soon, yeah
Shit, sorry John, didn't know it was so late. I'm on the way home. I texted you, but Sherlock (I assume) replied "EGG SHELLS" so...didn't know if you got the message.
All right, see you soon.
I didn't, no. Any idea what he was talking about?
Sorry, was riding. No, don't know.
Oh, I might have said he can grow cress and flowers in eggs shells on his windowsil. It was early. I could have said anything.
i want it to be window cill. windowsill? windowcill? help?
Online dictionary says windowsill. Which I just typed as windowsilly.
Youre windowsilly.
sausage and mash and veg for dinner/
I feel windowsilly.
Yes please. Anything I can do to help?
make some sausage and mash and veg and then feed me? :)
Ha. If you'll provide instructions, I can try...
How was work? Tiring, I suspect.
'S alright, I'll get it all started. You can mash. And turn. And stir.
Busy. Still got another case file to read through.
Did you enjoy your enforced trip to see chicks? Did you get up to much else today?
Yeah, it sounded busy. I hope it's not too bad.
I did. They were very...small and fluffy. And so far unintimidated by loud children. Sherlock put one on my head briefly, I think there's a picture.
ha, he's a good boy.
Yeah, just busy. Got a few appeals going out on CrimeWatch tonight, so lots of briefings and stuff on top of prepping everything for court and the CPS. All very boring to hear about.
Did you go to the allotment?
Yeah, just to water and weed a little. Nothing exciting, much to Sherlock's disappointment.
I'm sure most of what we do is disappointingly boring to Sherlock.
As is most of the rest of the world. He loves the chicks though. Everything they do is exciting so far.
He seems to not find his degus dull, either--or the pond life. (It's really quite lovely. :))
Good. I hope his butterflies/moths are exciting when they arrive too.
I'm assuming these chicken will grow up to be the tamest most tolerant chicken ever?
Either that or they'll all go mad. Mad, homicidal chickens. Sherlock would love it.
shhh or he'll start training them...
Ha. Wouldn't surprise me!
wait until he starts his army of ninja ducks next spring...
right. going to bed before I fall asleep holding this report for about the third time.
Bed sounds good.
Speaking (granted, some time ago, but it might amuse Sherlock in the morning) of ducklings.... Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water/kitchen again...
RR, I'm not sure who has the greater increment of too much free time, you for finding that or the very odd person with the well-trained cat and the pursuit duckling.
rsf
Heh...well, it's not me, rsf--someone brought it to my attention on a forum I frequent, and the pursuit duckling made me think of Sherlock, so... (I actually was in the position of far too little time yesterday. It's never a good idea to take on super-rush jobs, it gives production managers unrealistic ideas.)
L - I voted on your latest poll for pencil, but it doesn't seem to think I've given the correct answer :(
