A multi-storied bee...dwelling. Made by architecture students in Buffalo, New York. There are more pictures here where you can see the outside, but I thought this one was the most interesting.
Sherlock got very excited by this and asked if we could build one on the roof / at the allotment / in a park / on the roof of NSY (because 'they're not even using it for anything and the bees could see the fireworks from up there!'). I'm afraid normal beehives won't satisfy him now.
I just got an email from Dr Feelgood, coincidentally, about consulting a few years ago in a case where a man was stung to death by bees. He ended it with 'And that's when I moved to London'.
Also in the email...I might have a job soon. One 12 hour shift a week to start with - I'd be on call, not necessarily working the whole time, obviously, but presumably there are days when you do work the full 12 hours, so I need to make sure L or Mrs Hudson will be available to look after Sherlock if I can't be. Need to make some calls, but...yeah. Could be starting soon. It's quite exciting.

yay to a job John, that's brilliant, so happy for you :-D :-D :-D
That sounds great. We can figure out covering for you. Although if I'm working, there's a high chance we can have romantic interludes at crime scenes...
I've got tomorrow and Friday off. So I can both prepare for and recover from you taking me out to dinner ;)
No bees on NSY. We're the fuzz, not the buzz.
Thanks, Anonybob. :)
L - excellent! I think you'll like the place.
Although if I'm working, there's a high chance we can have romantic interludes at crime scenes...
If we lived slightly more normal lives, we might've met that way...
Instead of on a crime scene on a moor?
Nicky was dons that way at the weekend. I was irrationally worried.
Be leaving soon anything we need? Shaving foam?
Excellent news about the job, John :-D
And that bee hose looks fascinating. I love it when form and function collide so wonderfully.
Excellent news, John, well done!
Lancs. Anon
L - there wasn't anything, no. Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner.
Instead of that, yes! I think we cleaned those moors up pretty well. Nothing to worry about now except ghosts and getting lost and drowning in mires...
Nameless & Lancs. Anon - thanks! Hoping it all goes smoothly.
No problem. I assumed I'd get anguished calls or texts from Sherlock if there had been anything he seemed essential to continuing existence.
Just licking the bike.
...and once I've done that, locking it.
For my own amusement, I'm going to assume that wasn't a typo.
Now, I know you really like the bike but really ... :)
Wow, that beehive looks like something out of Star Wars!
Good luck with the job starting, John--sounds like a good start.
(Hee!)
I hope you're having a nice evening, gentlemen. :)
Anon - I do really love it. But I try not to lick everything I love. Reserve that dubious honour for John ;)
Reserve that dubious honour for John
Literally, tonight. As soon as he got in...
but you're so lickable.
Why's this tagged DI etc.?
Because you looked especially nice this morning when you went off to work.
I try ;)
Shall we go for a ride somewhere tomorrow?
Definitely. Where?
Not sure.
And apparently we're due another dance lesson. Apparently saying we're practicing isn't enough...
Actually practicing might not be enough either...
I want to dance!
(we are all dancing...with varying levels of success)
Fun!
there's nothing like dancing to make you smile even if you're really bad at it which I'm sure you're not ;-)
I'm knackered now.
How is Sherlock so full of energy??
No idea. Extra batteries that fit into his brain somehow??
My vote is he's actually some form of artificial life form his Mum has invented to test the British public - particularly health and law enforcement.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Nothing would surprise me.
Sorry I was a bit...unenthusiastic last night. I mean, about dinner. Dunno what was wrong with me, just a bit down in the dumps.
I'm sure wherever you've chosen will be great.
It's all right. We could just stay home too, if you want to?
No, no, I'm fine now. I'm looking forward to it. It was just yesterday, didn't feel like I had any energy or brains to ..well, that, really. No energy or brains.
I know how that feels.
Congratulations on the job, J. Apologies for the delay, been out this evening. And now about to read a report on malnutrition in the NHS to spot typos and non-formal language.
I know you do. Another reason you're a great person to share life with.
And I still don't know where to go tomorrow. Just see where life takes us?
And then, after dance lesson...well, it's lucky Murray will be entertaining Sherlock, as we fall asleep in our soup ;)
SH - thanks! Good luck with that report. Doesn't sound like the most riveting reading.
L - footloose and fancy free...or something. :)
Been thinking... might start teaching Sherlock about knocking, waiting until called, then entering our room.
Instead of his current half way in-knock-in-on the bed-"But I DID knock! And anyway you're awake" that seems to be the current level we're stuck at.
Now he's got his books and his chair and everything in his room - his space to retreat to - might try and convince him we get space too.
Might not work.
Worth a try though.
...I can't believe he's going to be eight this year.
I know. I think time speeds up when you're around kids. Or something.
Bed?
Thanks J, definitely not riveting. And giving up for tonight since I can see spelling mistakes, but can't remember the correct spelling.
Hope you guys have a great day tomorrow and that you remind Sherlock and Murray that if they make a mess they have to clean it up.
bed, definitely.
SH - right, especially if there's glitter.
SH - hope that report hasn't eaten your brain this morning.
It was the part when it said that additional care for patients was detrimental to their recovery that I started to wonder whether the daughter had read it through properly!
Will read more tonight, been on a trip to Castell Coch today with work, good fun, but very wet and windy.
