The video I wanted to show you of sea worms eating a dead seal won't embed, so here is a fish with a see through head:
It snowed a fair amount. Mrs N looked like she was more than ready for the day to be over when I picked up Sherlock. Two of Sherlock's classmates told me about all the things they'd done in the snow because their parents weren't there yet, and apparently they couldn't wait to tell someone.
Sherlock and I went directly to the park and stayed there. I thought at some point he'd admit he was cold, or want hot chocolate, or...something, but I underestimated his ability to ignore everything but SNOW. We had a snowball fight, and made a small, lopsided snowman, built a very very small snow fort that Sherlock could just about fit into if he curled up tight and ducked his head down. L joined us when he got out of work with a surprise snow attack on Sherlock, stuffed some down my jacket, whereupon I was forced to rub snow in his hair...
And then pizza. After I finally convinced them both we had to go inside at some point. You should've seen their sad sad little faces...
L also explained his dancing plan for the wedding. Not sure I should tell you all what it is yet...might wait until I'm sure I can actually do it...

I...don't understand that fish.
I don't think we should tell anyone about the dancing idea. Not until we've done it. Or bottled it.
...wish we were still out in the snow :(
It looks so...expressive.
Mmkay. We'll keep it a secret.
Could go outside and kiss in the snow briefly...
Is that safe? I mean, the back of your neck seems to be a magnet for snow...and you'd be entirely unprotected mid-kiss....
I'll survive if you kiss me in the snow tomorrow.
I'm going to stockpile snowballs in the freezer for my revenge.
riiiight, because Sherlock won't have them away at the first possible opportunity....
Mrs Hudson's freezer then. You'll never see them coming.
No, I'm sure I'll never see you coming with your icy balls...even if Mrs H has been protecting them.
How about you just give me a hug instead?
Yeah, all right. And bed?
yeah, sounds good.
you must be tired.
I am. That was a lot of snow.
Yeah. But worth it, right? The smile on his face was so wide.
Smile on my face was pretty wide...
Yeah, definitely worth it. :)
I don't know why but I've been having a lot of dreams about being kidnapped recently. After...nothing for a while.
And now I don't want to go to sleep at all.
I'm sorry sleep is elusive tonight, L. Maybe some hot tea or chocolate will help? Maybe reading a funny book before you try to sleep?
Both of those videos were amazing. Thank you, John.
L, maybe if you take a hot shower to shake off any lingering feeling of cold it will help you shake off the dreams for tonight? I'm sorry you're having trouble with them. Nightmares are no fun.
rsf
I'm sorry you're struggling with nightmares again Greg there is on logic to why the brain does things like that. Not wanting to sleep is a horrible feeling :-(
I have no useful advice I just hope you managed some sleep and that the dreams stop happening again soon.
Hope you did get some sleep after all L. And that maybe you woke John and told him.
I did sleep. I didn't dream. I'm now valiantly trying to stay awake at work.
I didn't wake John, he was so shattered last night.
There's a difference between waking up from a nightmare and just not wanting to sleep when it comes to you wanting to wake John I'm guessing and he must have been rather tired from spending all that time outside in the snow!
I hope there is enough coffee in London to keep you awake :-)
Yeah, exactly.
Coffee is helping.
Is there anything you don't think coffee can fix, Lestrade? ;)
Caffeine is a salve for many ills.
John, has Sherlock dragged you out into the snow again?
rsf
What's left of it, yeah.
There's still quite a lot of snow where small people haven't destroyed it.
John, I have a new phone. I have no idea how it works. But once again I'm a two-phone man...work and personal.
(to prove I can't work it I tried to comment twice from it and it didn't work.)
Testing...
Seems to be working?
Sally helped me - I had to sign in, but that meant I had to stop viewing it on the mobile way and go to the web page, and...well, anyway, she told me what to do. And then success!
I still press the wrong symbols a lot though...
DW - Coffe can fix everything, although the form it comes in may have to be adjusted for different situations.
I'm going to make some coffee granita in the summer...when a hyperactive Sherlock won't be as much of a problem!
What's coffee granita and won't Sherlock just have more things to bounce off of in summer?
mmmmmm...coffee granita...how do you make yours? I like coffee ice cream too.
Sorry, Anon, only just home. Granita is like...ice crystals and flavour.
The summer just generally gives Sherlock more time outside to bounce off things!
Kestrel, sorry, was already replying to Anon when you posted.
I keep it simple. Coffee, sugar, stirred every 30 mins. Served with sweetened cream. Delicious!
What sort of phone did you get, Lestrade?
Um...an iPhone. So...yeah. Am I one of the cool kids now??
You've always been one of the cool kids, Lestrade.
I'm sure I wouldn't know. I never have been. Do you like it?
DW - Clearly untrue! I've been forced to become slightly cooler, by Danger. Only as old as the man you feel, y'know? ;)
Mycroft - you are to me! I think I like it. But it does stuff without me knowing about it! How spooky is this - I opened up the internet, and it knew my bookmarks. How does it do that?? I got scared and put it in my desk drawer.
It downloaded them from your brain.
I think you're scaring him more...
if it can read my mind...well, there might be fewer odd words appearing in my comments.
But if it comments with my real thoughts...well, this blog may get an 18 rating.
So...now I need a picture of something lovely to use as my screen thing.
Snow? Cake? Degus?
Nannies? Doctors?...
although..I've got a really nice, naked, full frontal somewhere.....mmmm.
I've got a really nice, naked, full frontal somewhere
Of you or the Doc? Just, y'know, out of curiosity...
Of the degus maybe...
Oh, it's far sleeker than me. And not as grey.
Don't worry, I've err...cut the picture above anything too racy.
But very, very attractive....
Ha. I should've known...
It really should be the Doc, though. Could get used to just swiping my finger and opening it up... ;)
You just want me to be literally pocket sized.
Hmm...well, I would like to be able to carry you around with me all day, true.
But if you were permanently pocket-sized, that would cause some...constraints.
Many things would be more awkward, yes.
I'm going to buy it the toughest, most everything-proof case I can. Well, that will still fit in my pocket.
And one for the phone, too ;)
An everything proof case...Sherlock could use one of those.
Sherlock was very patient while I hovered my hand under it when he held it. And then took a photo of him sticking his tongue out for me...
Ha. Shall I take one of me sticking my tongue out as well? You could have a theme.
You could...but I'd keep that in a special folder, for when you're away ;)
Sorry for responding to an oldish thread, but I've found that when my traumatic stuff comes up, it's often when life is blissful otherwise. i think my brain pushes it off to the side until it has the space to deal with it, then when things calm down the trauma stuff comes marching back in and demands to be dealt with. Just have patience with yourself. And hugs, I hope sleep is not elusive tonight (though your night's already half over...)
