Where you gonna run to?*

Here are Sherlock's cinnamon buns.

I wasn't allowed to help. Except to reach things, pass things, wash things up, scatter flour for kneading/rolling, and, once I'd actually read the recipe, put my foot down and say he wasn't making 24 of them!

He did very well, though. And they're delicious. This pic taken after we'd tested a corner, but before John made off into the night with one.



Now better check he hasn't escaped and tried to follow John, then ... do something with myself.

*prize for getting the title connection is imagining the smell of those buns.

Ha. Enjoy imagining the smell.

John H. D. Watson said...

It's delicious! :) I got envious looks.

Greg Lestrade said...

For Sherlock's bun or your buns?

John H. D. Watson said...

They couldn't see my buns, I was sitting on them at the time.

Greg Lestrade said...

Hmm. Okay.

How's it going?

Sherlock's stolen ours and Mycroft's fnug. He's made himself a cave. I'll get ours back in a bit.

John H. D. Watson said...

Not too bad so far. More drugs than expected. I'd rather be in a fnug cave, all things considered.

Greg Lestrade said...

Ha, you can never expect too many drugs.

You won't be getting any fnug. Big Caveman Greg been defeated by Woolly Sherlock.

Sherlock has wound his legs through the duvet covers, in and out of the buttons/poppers, so any attempt at removing them will wake him. I assume because he doubts I'll try to get it back before you're home, then he can pounce on you and quiz you to within an inch of your life.

John H. D. Watson said...

Ah, of course :) Well, we can make do with spare blankets. I should be able to leave soon.

Greg Lestrade said...

give a yell, I'll put the kettle on.

And if you have to leave me again I'm getting in the fnug cave too.

John H. D. Watson said...

I hope I won't. I'm home, just locking the bike up.

Greg Lestrade said...

excellent. kettle is boiling. tea will be with you shortly.

Greg Lestrade said...

Mm mum cinnamon buns for breakfast :)

Greg Lestrade said...

..mmm not mum.

That sounds better than toast!

Do you have much planned for today? Have a good one whatever you're up to :-)

Joolz said...

Yay, I'm all caught up - you guys just have the best lives ever. :)

Hope you're having a nice lie in, John. Did you get called out again?

Those buns look delicious, Sherlock, well done on doing it all by yourself. Did you get any visitors to your fnug cave?

Hope your first week has gone well, Mycroft, and you've settled back in already.

Glad you enjoyed your breakfast, Greg, and hope the rest of your day goes as well. :)

We decided to cycle along the canal. You might think Sherlock, a bike and water would be a bad idea... But he promised to be good, and has been

John H. D. Watson said...

Neither bikes nor people ended up in the water!

John--nor phones? ;)

John H. D. Watson said...

Well... Not yet at least ;)

Greg Lestrade said...

And there were cute..adolescent? ducks, geese and moorhens. Sort of fluffy, but quite big.

pandabob said...

staying dry near water is an incredible achievement, I can be sure that we would never manage it ;-)

Glad you had fun

I'm good at cycling now and I even got around people even though if you're a bike you should always be near the water and if you're a walking person you should be the other side but I think walking people are less likely to fall in so it should be the other way around. There was stuff in the canal but no dead bodies and it was good but it would have been better in a boat.

Sherlock--if the entrance/exit points for the path are on the non-river side of the path, then walkers are probably on that side so that thy can get on and off the path without having to cross the paths of bikes. It's safer for the bikes to slow down and cross the peds than the other way around. It's the same thinking behind why the slow lane on highways (in the States at least) is on the outside--cars exit and enter the highway on that side, so it's better to have slower traffic on that side.

I'm not sure, Ella, they just tell you that's how it works. I guess it is easier for a cyclist to knock a pedestrian in the water....maybe? I don't know. They had to decide one way around or the other, and that's the way they chose!
