I can't believe how fast the week went, and I seem to mean that literally, the way I keep checking to make sure it's really Saturday. Apart from the bike place, we didn't do anything that exciting - mostly long wandering walks, cooking, talking, hottubbing (I'm sorry, Mycroft, I know how you feel about verbing nouns...), and keeping clear of the wild fowl watching us ominously from the pond.
Yesterday from picking up Sherlock to bedtime, I don't think he stopped talking once - clearly he had a much more exciting time than we did! No one burned down the city. L's back to work tomorrow, and I'm back to work tomorrow night and Tuesday daytime, so that'll be interesting.
Here's Sherlock's chocolate spider (which really looks like half an egg in a Halloween costume if you ask me...)

I'm confused. Is 'verbing' not the same as hottubbing? Except it doesn't sound like dodgy sexual slang...so much...
You on call both those shifts? Will you ever have to work the clinics? I don't know if they're all done by certain people, given we don't have such direct links with them.
back to work tomorrow is a shame but I guess it has to be done because hottubbing your life away would just be boring right? ;-)
L - it is the same, I did it twice. But I don't know any other word for it.
I am on call, yeah. I suppose with the clinics it depends where they need me, but anyway not until the six month trial is up - which is soon, by the way, November.
Anonybob - it would probably get boring eventually...but not for a really long time.
Ah, I wasn't sure. I'm still stuck on which are 'doing words' and which ...aren't.
Time does fly, doesn't it? You know what it is weekend after next - 26th?
No, but I'm worried I should... You know I'm bad with dates.
Well...when we left for our honeymoon pretty much was the anniversary of me being kidnapped. And a year ago in two weeks time you asked me to marry you. Sort of sticks in my mind. :)
I'm sorry. Were you thinking about it while we were away? You didn't say anything.
A bit. Not...I don't know, it was just such a contrast, you know?
I started reading your post from then one night, but I couldn't do it. Even though everyone was being so nice.
I'm sorry, love. Do you want to talk about it? Or...anything?
I don't know. Feels stupid, you know? I mean, it's not...well, he's banged up, and a year going by doesn't mean anything, does it? We just give it significance.
Was nice spending it with you, celebrating far happier things, anyway.
Yeah. I knew it was this time of year, but...well. I don't remember the good dates or the bad ones, apparently. I'm really sorry.
I know one doesn't cancel the other out, but at least the better memories will be fresher.
Don't feel bad! I don't want it to be a 'thing'. It's not an anniversary I want to remember.
And I only really noticed the date and the proposal because I thought we might end up having our honeymoon as the anniversary of you proposing, which would have been kind of fitting, maybe?
It'll be pretty close to when we met too, won't it?
Yeah...we met mid November. Maybe we should have waited for the wedding - packed all the important dates in a few weeks ;)
No, it's much more fun to have things spread out a bit - gives you lots of separate opportunities to celebrate.
Ha. Really we should've arranged our meeting and the proposal to be earlier in the year, so everything fit between your birthday and Sherlock's.
I think we did well with our birthdays - well spread throughout the year! And anyway, if we did have gaps, Sherlock would volunteer to have extra ;)
He'd probably love an extra one in January.
I'm thinking of giving my new baby another 'birthday' in the summer if its born too near Christmas, it seems only fair that it doesn't have to wait a whole year for presents ;-)
Once he rules the world he can designate a special day as 'Sherlock Day' for himself ;)
Should probably go to bed. I don't want to go to work in the morning.
AnonyBob - one of my schoolfriends was born on Christmas Eve. He had a 6-month-birthday celebration in the summer :)
Bed would be lovely.
Once your 6 month trial is up will you have to do more shifts, John, or will you be able to stick to one a week to work around Greg's shifts.
Obviously nothing will take away the bad memories, Greg, but it's good that you have something so much nicer to remember for this time to overlay it in the future.
We do the same thing as my youngest is born on the 18th December so he has his big birthday present in June so he can use things such as a bike in the summer and then just a couple of little things on the day otherwise it would be too many presents at once and then nothing else all year.
When are you officially due, Anonybob?
Well..today is a wet, grey, rainy, horrible day to come back to work. Far rather be baking with Sherlock or something!
Is going back to work on wet, miserable days worse than going on bright, sunny ones? Or is it just having to leave behind a cozy home and (some of) the people you love, and either way the weather adds insult to injury?
My son was born right at the beginning of January so for the first few years we had a second birthday for him in the summer. Then his sister was born at the end of June which rather changed things.
Kestrel - it's actually better, in terms of crime - far less crime when it's raining! But worse in terms of what I'd rather be doing ;)
Still, it's stopped for a moment, and John and Sherlock are going to come and meet me for lunch (or second lunch, in Sherlock's case...)
Aw, your Cadbury eggs get spider legs! Ours (in the States, or at least my state) they're just called "Screme Eggs" instead of the original Creme Eggs. I'd rather have spideys. -EchoOfMe
What could be more appropriate than a costumed chocolate? :)
I hope you all enjoyed your lunches, however many you had today...
I hope works going ok Greg and that lunch brightened your grey day :-)
Joolz - Baby is due a few days before Christmas which is ages and yet no time at all away!!
It was okay, yeah AnonyBob - lunch was a highlight! And now off home, where Sherlock has apparently made batter for yorkshire puddings, and we're having a roast! Things definitely looking up :)
I hope your other two kids are excited about their Christmas present! ;)
I'm told there's a very bright space station pass tonight, at 2008 - from WSW to SSE, I think? Anyway, we're going to try and spot it, between the clouds.
Oh, cool! I hope you get a good look at it!
We saw it it was really really bright
Excellent! And quite exciting, to see something that far away...
A roast dinner and watching the space station, that is an improvement on a day at work :-)
Enjoy your evening if its possible to relax :-)
EchoOfMe - we have the screme eggs too! These spiders are little blobs of chocolate, with green crispy rice or something in them, and stuck onto the legs. I can't cope with creme eggs anymore - too sweet!
Oooh, yeah - Spidey Eggs sound less deadly. I too cannot handle the creme eggs any more. -EchoOfMe
