Sherlock's mum took him out for the day on Saturday, and I was on call. I'm still not quite sure about everything they did because he told me all of it at top speed when my brain was only functioning at half speed, but I understand there were toffee apples, ice cream, dinner out somewhere 'with tablecloths' (not a huge distinguishing feature, but it does let out a few places), and FIREWORKS. He said it in all caps, trust me.
I didn't have nearly as good a time. FME works rarely features ice cream or fireworks, although there was a tablecloth involved at one point, and a small cat with very sharp claws. The cat is fine. The tablecloth and the officer involved, less so. I was out from about eight to eight, and L made me a lovely dinner when he got home, even though he'd been working just as long as I had.

That's a lovely pictures.
Reminds me of your hair in the morning, with the sun coming in the window ;)
Thank you, love :)
And the grass isn't even going grey...
You're only going grey around the edges ;) barely noticeable.
Can I have jam roly poly too?
No! You gannet. You said you didn't want any and wanted ice cream.
A foolish choice, but one you'll have to stick with.
I changed my mind
Life's tough sometimes.
Pyjama time now.
You are very unfair.
And you are very tired. Come on, bed.
And now I am very tired - bed!
Good morning guys. Have you got any nice plans for your day off, a bike ride maybe or a day in bed to catch up on your 'sleep'. ;)
Perhaps you'll start working on your Christmas play at school, Sherlock, do you know what part you want.
Have fun everyone whatever you're up to. :)
No real plans. I imagine a bike ride will occur ;)
John almost wet himself in bed this morning when Sherlock arrived, flopped onto us and said in an (apparently) perfect impression of me 'God, I need a coffee'.
There is nothing quite so scary as seeing yourself reflected back through your kids is there ;-)
I hope you're having a good day together and that everyone who really needed some got coffee today :-)
I was tempted to give him some, but John said he'd tell Mrs N and have me put on some terrifying job for the Christmas show... So Sherlock had to make do with milk.
I don't know how Sherlock felt about it, but the story has certainly brightened my morning! ;)
I may still ask her to put you on some terrifying job for the Christmas show just for laughing so hard...
I can't believe I say that phrase that often...
If I enlist Sally's help, we could get an exact count...
I'm still in her bad books from the footy the other day. I was so happy when we scored she thought I'd made an amazing case related breakthrough, owing to my leaping up and cheering...
Ha!
I just said that personally I'd reserve that sort of celebration for something a bit more important than an overpaid man kicking a bag of wind past another overpaid man into a little net, that's all.
Off topic: I had an affogato yesterday (in the proper American style, I suppose, meaning it was completely bastardized and had so much espresso it was really more like an espresso float). I haven't had espresso in a really long time and had forgotten how delicious it is. I finished it in like ten minutes and then vibrated for the rest of the afternoon.
Ella
Sally, I do agree with you there.
Ella - you're making me want coffee!!
L, I think you mean she's making you want coffee MORE! :)
Come on, lestrade. Just a little bit won't hurt. >:-)
Ella
I am wondering if anywhere here might do me affogato swimming in espresso :). I usually stop at a double!
That was the weird thing? The shop person told me it was a double but, unless I seriously miscalculate how much espresso can melt ice cream, that was more like a quad. I mean, there were three scoops of gelato and I couldn't see any of it below the surface of the espresso/meltiness
Ella
Also doubles don't usually make me vibrate.
Ella
I like that affogato means 'drowned'! How does that sit with drinking coffee without sugar?
Without sugar? I'm lost, sorry :)
I would always have had you pegged as a 'black, no sugar' man!
You had me pegged correctly then Anon!
I don't mind a splash of milk though, or the odd cappuccino. Affogato is a dessert - best tarted up with a shot of something along with the coffee, too ;). So I enjoy it.
I was tired and when you're tired you always want coffee ALWAYS anyway even if you're not tired. You should have given me some.
You'd just got up! You could have - and I know this is a shocking suggestion - stayed in bed and slept more!!
I can only imagine the response that suggestion got.
give us a call tomorrow. Not urgent.
I got 'evils' as Carla would say. And was banned from holding the degus.
Might drag him out for a run tomorrow morning before John rejoins the land of the living - wear him out!
Hmm...bike ride in the wet or not? I think yes...Danger looks longingly at the bike gear and grumpily at the rain...
Go out, get wet, get cold, have fun and then go home and spend the afternoon warning up ;-) what could be better?
Have fun whatever you get up to :-)
Biking in the wet beats biking in the wind. I say go as well.
Ella
We went. We are soaking. :)
It was still a good choice :)
After all, it's just the grown up equivalent of splashing through puddles. Glad you had fun, guys.
It's all good when you can get back home in the warm and dry straight after. And eat posh cheese on toast and hot chocolate ;)
I want hot chocolate and biscuits!
Who wouldn't? :)
Have you begun working on your play in school, Sherlock?
Well, to keep Danger's blog title alive - we're off to the fireworks! Or we are just as soon as Sherlock has located his manners... otherwise we're not.
Or maybe John and I will go, and Sherlock can stay with Mrs Hudson, who will teach him that manners maketh man.
My hands are destined to spend quite a lot of tonight sneaking up John's jumper, seeking warmth ;)
Have fun at the fireworks. If you have sparklers then no writing swear words or tempting offers to each other in front of the minor. ;)
I feel sorry in anticipation of your cold shocks from Mr Handsy, John. ;)
I swear I'm going to start wearing some sort of jumper alarm...
...you already have one...my hands sneak under your jumper and this wailing shrieking sound goes off ;)
Lestrade picked me up and I put my hands down his neck and he nearly dropped me and John is still laughing and I'm allowed a toffee apple.
Sounds like it's all pretty near perfect, Sherlock! Having fun?
He's jealous of our mulled cider. He only gets mulled Ribena ;)
We're just off home, via pizza collection :)
It was very good.
Oooh, pizza too! (What's Ribena?)
