Well, we've had an eventful day. If you want to be completely accurate, it started last night around 23.30 last night with Sherlock's comment re: Mycroft's school and how "stupid" it is. How he got my phone again, I have no idea, but I'm starting to think about getting a lockbox of some sort into which all electronic devices will be placed at bedtime.
I didn't see the comment till this morning, and I wish I had as it would've provided me with some warning of what I was in for. To be honest, I did see this coming - just not so quickly. Even if Sherlock and Mycroft were still busy hating each other, I think Sherlock would be upset to see him go away to school. Lestrade pointed out that Mycroft's been the one constant in Sherlock's life, and he's quite right.
To summarize: foot stomping, cereal throwing, shin kicking, shouting. I almost didn't send him to school because it seemed so cruel to his teacher, but I'm glad I did. He'd calmed down quite a bit by the time Mycroft and I and Mrs Holmes picked him up, though he still wasn't speaking to Mycroft. Which isn't fair at all, because Mycroft is looking toward this autumn with less enthusiasm than I've seen some people show about going to war.
We're on the train now. I still have no idea where we're going, but Sherlock's had a nap and is being less generally awful to everyone. Mrs Holmes has introduced us to a new a game - Books That Sound More Interesting with the Final Letter Knocked Off.
Mrs H has Far From the Madding Crow, Three Men in a Boa
Mycroft - The DaVinci Cod, Of Mice and Me, The Hero and the Crow
Sherlock - A Brief History of Tim
Me - Sunlight on the Law, The Wee Free Me
My first one only works if you picture Lestrade in the park and my second sounds like a very peculiar self help book. Sherlock's slightly hampered in this game by his choice of reading material. Most science texts don't lend themselves to knocking any of the letters off their titles.
I was also considering Fire from Heave(n) and The Last Her(o), but I don't think they work quite as well. Anyone else want to play?

I'll stop now. And tell Mycroft to hug Sherlock really hard for a while. It might help. Probably can't hurt.
Later gator,
Bronwyn
Of Mice And Me.
Worked out where you're going yet?
Mycrotf's already got Of Mice and Me. :P
No! Somewhere by the sea is my best guess. Oh, and we're not having cake till you get here, don't worry. Mrs H says she's going to make it. I'm slightly concerned.
The only one I can find around here is that classic bedtime story for baby cows, Goodnight Moo.
I hope it's a good weekend for everyone despite the rough start!
Bronwyn - I like The Man Who Would Be Kin. I'd read that book.
thirdbird - ha! Goodnight Moo is adorable. I'm sure generations of baby cows have very fond memories of it.
The Jungle Boo
PS: Enjoy your weekend. I hope, you'll have a good time.
It's probably a book about a nanny, really. Or maybe a stepfather. Hmmm, what else is there . . .
Charlie and the Chocolate Factor
A Swiftly Tilting Plan
A Wrinkle in Tim (it's a sequel to Sherlock's)
Their Eyes Were Watching Go
This is fun. And keeps me from being bored at work.
Later gator,

Damn. Teach me to read your posts more carefully.
Gone with the win.
Animal Far?
Invisible Ma.
"Apocalypse No"? Sounds like the complete opposite of what its really about!
The Secret Garde
Uncle Tom's Cabi
Shakespeare seems to lend itself well to this:
King Lea
As You Like I
Richard II
Macbet
Have fun, everyone!
Well heck. That's the movie. I always do that with the movie and the book, which is based on "The Heart of Darkness." Which isn't that different with one "s" taken off of the end.
A mostly scifi run for Sherlock.
Bicentennial Ma
The Sound and the Fur
Son of Ma
The Lathe of Heave
Later gator (now I actually have to work),

I think we could allow films as well. I like Apocalypse No. (And The Sound and the Fur is hilarious.)
Nineteen_eighty fou
Just googled where you're going to stay. I'm even more jealous now.
The suspense is already killing me, you don't need to make it worse! And you're staying there too, you'll be here tomorrow.
Is Mrs. H a _Cabin Pressure_ fan, then? I'm impressed!
Mycroft, this should be your weekend in the limelight, so I'll just say that I hope you have a lovely time with plenty of stars to gaze at and lots of cake to eat and that this birthday is one you'll remember happily when you're off at school. And as someone who was five years older than you by the time I left my house and was still pretty reluctant, I can say that it was an absolutely thrilling time - so much to learn and think and do - and I wouldn't trade that time for anything. And I had a precocious younger brother I didn't want to leave, and it turned out we became better friends during that time apart, because we really looked forward to each visit and each phone call.

Danger, torturing you is the only pleasure I can get. Don't blame me for it.
I've realised I'm glad I'm not with you right now though, as I'd be showing Mrs Holmes how incredibly badly read I am.
Innie, given past experiences at school, I don't think it will work out quite that well. But thank you, it's kind of you.
Is Mrs. H a _Cabin Pressure_ fan, then? I'm impressed!
Mummy says to tell you she maintains plausible deniability.
L - I'm not doing much better. I don't think she considers Discworld the height of literature. How's your mountain of paper?
Pale Fir
White Teet (i know it's not technically a word, but it sounds like one )
Mountain of paper now more like hills. Think we'll get an arrest tonight or early tomorrow on a gang case i'm working. Trying to get us some back up. Everyone is, as usual, arguing about who will pay if we run into overtime.
The random body parts gang case, or a different one?
Different one. I have an operation planned, joint with drugs and gangs, for the body parts. Should kick off next week.
This is a stabbing that happened when I was off. Want to try and stop it becoming a tit for tat gang war.
The works of Sir Terry Pratchet are most definitely the heights of literature! On an unrelated note, I have come to the conclusion that Russian literature just doesn't work for this game.
The Lady With the Do(g)
Three Years before the Mas(t)

L - Good luck, please don't get stabbed or anything.
We're here by the way. Holy hell, this place is amazing!
Will do my best. Promise to wear my stab vest.
It looked fantastic on the pictures, and Mrs Holmes said she was renting the entire thing. Sherlock cheered up a bit? Tell him he and I will be having a talk about violence in general, violence against you in particular.
Given how good the weather is, I assume Mycroft will insist on star gazing most of tonight?
Oh, and
'The tale of Peter Rabbi'
Yeah, we're doing a picnic for dinner and then we'll stay out until he wants to go back. (Which may be quite a while - "Promise? Even if I want to wait for dawn?" "I promise.) We're bringing blankets, and I imagine Sherlock will sleep for most of it, which might be for the best.
Mycroft and Mrs H had a row about going to visit places other than Harrow on the train, but he seems over it now and really looking forward to tonight.
he and I will be having a talk about violence in general
Best of luck. First thing he did when he met me was kick me in the shin.
Past experience has taught you to be wary, and that's fine, because now you have had months with Sherlock and John reminding you every day that you're loved, and that makes a big difference when it comes time to actually go off on your own. You will be great, I promise.
In the meantime, enjoy the night and may the dawn be spectacular!
Perhaps you should have left him with me, while you, Mrs Holmes and Mycroft enjoyed today and tomorrow. I could have brought him up there when I come tomorrow night.
I could have had the custody sarge put him in the 'drunk or violent' holding cell.
I shall think of you at dawn.
We're off in a minute - so I'll be updating from my phone. I imagine there'll be a period of very boring surveillance at first. Followed by some short, sharp action.
Be careful. I know I already said that, I just have sort of a bad feeling about this - probably because I'm hours away now instead of just across town, sorry.
I could have had the custody sarge put him in the 'drunk or violent' holding cell.
He says to tell you that sounds very interesting, and maybe you can do that when he gets back. Heh.
The only decent one I could get from my bookshelf was The Red Ten which sounds like a horror book rather than a biblical romance...
Also why do I get the feeling you've rented out the entirety of Holy Island or something?
Mycroft, you and I need to chat about how to handle being the odd kid in a closed society. I can offer a great deal of advice. Some of itnis terribly helpful and some just terrible and some of its terribly funny whem inflicted on others. I could also suggest some very useful reading.
Have a wonderful birthday,
Bronwyn
Ooh! I've got another one!
Claudius the Go
Trills - Good one! And no, not quite an entire island. In some ways even better. I'll do a post about it tonight or tomorrow, but it's a surprise till then!
I picked the D&V holding cell as being a very boring place. Sort of interesting if anyone's coming in for processing, because you can watch, otherwise, it's a plain box. You can either stand up or sit down. It's only a few feet square - adults can't lie down. Sherlock probably could scrunch up on the bench. It's completely empty and plain. The door is plastic, so the custody sarge can watch for the person to pass out/throw up/whatever we don't want them to do in a normal cell.
And don't worry. There are four of us going, plus the local plod have said they'll 'be in the area' if we need to call them in.
You concentrate on having a brilliant time. And making sure Mycroft does.
But I could watch you do stuff and they might put someone interesting in it with me!
The Hobbi
Mycroft - have a wonderful time stargazing, I hope dawn is stunning (I love staying up till dawn, hate getting up for it)
Lestrade - like John said, be safe.
I don't work down there, so you couldn't watch me. And the holding cells don't fit more than one person in them - they're tiny. Designed so people can't lie down and choke on their own vomit.
They are very, very boring.
Hey, Sherlock, this weekend might be a great time for you to continue drawing your family. What do you think?
Lestrade - that's boring then.
innie - maybe, if I feel like it. I could draw the dogs.
It is boring. That's the point.
We're sitting near the back of some shops. One of them is a fast food place. Fried chicken, i think. The smell is making me hungry, even if I know the food would be crap.
We had chicken on our picnic but it was cold. There were olives and cheese and bread and apples and tea and cocoa. I made you a picture.
The mugshots and fingerprinting could be fun if Lestrade could get you processed.
Actually, that could be something that needs doing anyway - though I'm sure Mrs. Holmes has done. I going to do it for my brother's daughter this weekend. She's getting fingerprints, a dental impression, hair sample and DNA sample done and stored with her picture. She loves biting the foam.
Have fun. And Lestrade - be nice to your recovering system and avoid the crap chicken.
Later gator,
Bronwyn
You made me a picture? That's nice. I look forward to seeing it tomorrow night. Or Sunday, if you're in bed when I get there tomorrow.
Bronwyn - I've never heard of anyone having their kid processed before. Is it common in the USA?
Shit, gotta go
Oooh. O_O I hope whatever just happened works out well.
Having your children processed isn't terribly common here, no. You can buy kits and collect things yourself or, in some areas, you can take your kids down to the local PD's and they'll do it for you. We have some programs that will come and process kids at schools or daycares if their parents want. It's a way to have their identifying information in the system, kind of a horrible just-in-case sort of precaution. It's proved useful in abduction cases a few times. Adoptive parents particularly do it, I think, since there's no easily accessible parental DNA for comparisons and such.
I tend to do it for my family and friends if they want so they don't have to pay for it or try to arrange to take the baby to the station. It's much easier for me to go "Bite the foam for Auntie Bronwyn!"
Later gator,
Bronwyn
Mmm, anyone notice that the Oz books now sound like the names of a series of adult films?
I've never had my DNA processed, but there were a few safety fairs when I was younger, and my Dad had my fingerprints registered in case of kidnapping or something unfortunate happening. Luckily nothing ever did, but I can see where it'd be helpful.
Eep! Good luck and keep safe, Lestrade! Hope to hear you're ok soon!
Danger...firstly, I'm fine. It's all done, six blokes in custody.
But...I do sort of have to go to A&E, just for a check. But I really am okay. Okay?
Define what okay means in this instance.
You know, okay. Walking, talking - well, more shouting, really. Generally okay.
Mrs Holmes is going to be there when I'm there, is she?
Yes, the whole time.
Lestrade, what happened? How badly are you hurt?
There is a very slight chance I've broken my nose. But not in a bad way - I don't look like a Picasso painting or anything. But I might end up with a decent pair of black eyes. Maybe.
It was all going fine until a few more people than were invited to the party turned up...and then it started getting messy, and I was trying to help Sally (she'd like to point out she didn't need my help) when the bloke I was holding smacked me in the face with the back of his head. Which was quite hard.
It didn't even bleed that much.
Well. I suppose that could be worse, and thank you for going to A&E of your own volition. And I'm sure Sally knows that expecting you not to help if you possibly can is just completely unrealistic.
I'm sorry, love. Does it hurt a lot?
Innie, glad someone else caught the /Cabin Pressure/ reference -- now all I can hear is Douglas dryly teasing Martin for his stunning contribution of The Mill on the Flos . John, if you need another fun game from the series, people with evil sounding names who are not actually evil is fun. (Russel Crowe, Callista Flockhart, etc).
Also, just when I think you've reached your awesome quota, you use Discworld examples. Epic win. As a former literature major I'm abashed to say I can't think of any to add to the already extensive list. He, She, and I(t), perhaps, though I rather think that makes it sound less interesting....
Anyhow, I hope you have fun. Sherlock, I know it's hard when an older sibling goes away, but you may find as I did that it actually makes you closer. Maybe you can teach the dogs some new tricks while he's away to show him when he gets back for break -- that could be a fun surprise.
Mycroft, happy birthday and I hope you have a lovely clear evening for stargazing.
Lestrade, I second Johns request for a definition! Your version of ok does not always mesh with the rest if the world.
Stop apologising for things which aren't your fault!
It's not too bad now. I've had...tablets. I don't know what they were. And I've got ice. Well, one of those blue gel cold things. I'm going to look like a total thug for Mrs H.
Just in the police room at the hospital now. Waiting. They want pictures and stuff, to charge the bloke. The nurse said it might be slightly fractured, but nothing bad. Doc will be in in a while, just to check. It's mayhem here though, classic Friday night - full of drunks fighting.
X - Callista Flockhart doesn't sound all that evil? Completely agree on the rest though.
L - I wasn't apologising! Merely expressing sympathy. I'm well aware it wasn't my head that hit your face. Is someone driving you home? I'd come get you if I could.
I'm going to look like a total thug for Mrs H.
Don't worry, she's used to it by now.
Hm. Ok. Sympathy accepted.
I expect there'll be someone around. Half the force seems to be here with blood-soaked youths needing medical help before being taken away and thrown in the cells.
I've only been here a bit. I can't imagine I'm anywhere near the top of the priority list.
Don't worry, she's used to it by now.
Oddly, that's not reassuring...
I can't believe I haven't seen her for ages, and this happens on the one day I will.
So Mycroft's going away to boarding school? I sympathize with Sherlock. I hated when my sisters moved to a different city to attend university (I was still in primary school). But well, they're both very intelligent children, I'm sure they'll adjust quickly. I'd say that seeing each other less might help them get closer in the sense that they won't be fighting whenever they see each other... but I'm afraid not seeing my sisters for months didn't stop me from fighting with them whenever they were home from Holidays!
...Maybe I was apologising a bit for not being there to fix it. But mostly sympathy.
Heh. If you keep getting knocked about she's going to think you look like this all the time.
Lupe - yeah, it's going to be a hard adjustment for everyone, but I'm sure we'll get through it. I think Sherlock didn't accept until just recently that it was actually happening.
Heh. If you keep getting knocked about she's going to think you look like this all the time.
It's embarrassing.
And whilst it would be lovely if you were here, you'd only be worrying and raging against the glacial pace the NHS works at.
And I can do that from here with exactly the same result.
True.
I'm very bored. You all still out stargazing? On the beach? Above me are 27 ceiling tiles and 9 strip-light squares. Two have stains. One has a fire alarm unit.
There's millions of stars and not much other light of any kind. It's weird, you forget in the city how dark the night actually is. I do, at least, and I shouldn't, I've been out in the dark enough in my life, but a few months in London and suddenly it's shocking all over again. I nearly forgot to bring a torch.
It's a bit chilly, but I have Sherlock and half of Deimos in my lap. Mycroft's glued to his telescope with a blanket wrapped around him, and Mrs H is down by the water with her feet in the surf.
I miss you.
Miss you too. All of you. And even the bloody dogs.
I love it when it's properly dark. Can you see the Milky Way really well? Don't lose anyone - dogs or boys - in the gloom! Has Sherlock managed to jump in a rock pool/the sea/anywhere else wet yet?
Her feet in the surf??? It's got to be freezing. She's as bad as my Dad who always has to be the first one in the ocean every spring.
I miss the stars. I should go visit my Dad and the ocean and the stars. Too much city where I am as well. Enjoy the night, for those who can. (And survive the night for our brave DI.)
L - Yeah, I tried to take a picture for you, but my camera phone's not up to it. It's just a picture of nothing. Blurry nothing. No chance of anyone wandering off. Sherlock's asleep, and Mycroft's making notes.
kholly - Yeah, she seems impervious. The wind's up now too. I have doubts about us making it till dawn.
Hope the nose heals alright... I've had the two black eyes thing, incident on a hockey pitch between me, an opponent and the goal-posts.

It's okay, I'll be there with you tomorrow night.
Wish I had doubts that I'd make it 'til dawn. I fear dawn will be well on the way before I'm released. This is why I don't go to A&E.
L - that's why you need your own personal doctor.
I'll be there with you tomorrow night.
Good, you can keep me warm.
Kira - I like A New Hop especially.
Mrs H not going to make us sleep in separate beds?
I do indeed need you. The nurse said the little scar on my cheek almost looks like a professional dealt with it...
That might be beyond the scope of even her considerable power, but I don't think she's going to try, no.
Ha ha. Just wait till the next time you need stitches, funny boy.
That might be beyond the scope of even her considerable power, but I don't think she's going to try, no.
Her power no match for your animal magnetism?
I don't think you giving me stitches would be a good idea at all. You'd apologise too much. There's a lot to be said about the overworked-doctor approach, when they forget their no longer practicing on a banana skin and that their subject can now feel pain.
Anyway, you're implying there'll be a next time.
I think there's a riot going on in the waiting room.
I'm not implying it, I'm stating it outright. It seems a forgone conclusion.
What hospital are you at?
University College. I think. It's probably undergone a complete takeover and privatisation since I arrived.
Isn't it all glue and steri-strips these days? Been ages since I had stitches. Lest time I thought I was getting them they put staples in instead. Medical fashion?
You still outside? You're going to have to carry Sherlock home. Or train a dog to carry him.
I like stitches. I worked really hard learning to do them neatly. Many bananas suffered for my skill.
Still outside, still awake, barely. Yes I am going to have to carry Sherlock back, and I swear he's put on twenty pounds since I carried him back across the moor.
Out of tea. Please send help.
It's probably a good thing. And slightly unfair. If I ate cake the way he does I'd put on about 200 pounds.
And I'm sure your stitches are really really neat. Next time I get cut up, I'll fend off all medical professionals and get to you, no matter where you are, just so you can put neat stitches in. Okay?
The NHS has been out of tea since about 1980. And I've been told not to eat or drink anything 'just in case'. Frankly, after 2 hours I think 'just in case' is a bit bloody unlikely. I think they just do it to punish people for coming in and taking up their time and resources.
Unbelievably neat. You'll be pleased with the result.
Do you think it's illegal to build a fire out here?
God I'm tired.
It won't be illegal - or I very much doubt it will be. Only if there are signs forbidding it.
Ask Mrs H. Surely she'll just get the law changed if needs be.
Me too. Sadly it is illegal for me to start a fire.
Tomorrow night I'll have to tell you which train I'm getting so you can phone me to wake me up when I get near the right station. Otherwise I'll end up somewhere ridiculous.
Any idea when you'll get here tomorrow? Sherlock's very excited to give you his picture. Well. Not right now. Right now he's asleep. Everyone's asleep but me. I have instructions to wake Mycroft up soon so he can see the starsin a different position...or something.
Bet you'd get out of there faster if you started a fire.
Late. Probably about half ten. Going to try and sneak off work early and make the 7pm train. Otherwise got to wait until half 8, which means I won't get to you until midnight.
Not that any of you will be asleep.
I might just walk out. Can't be arsed to wait.
It can't be that much longer.
Maybe I'll ask Mrs H to send a helicopter for you. I wonder if she'd say yes.
I'm not at all sure how I would declare a free helicopter ride to the Met. Does it come under 'gift'? We're not allowed to accept gifts, or services...
what am I saying, it's Mrs H. She probably eats police rule books for breakfast.
My eyes are going black. I can't believe I look like this, for her.
I need to leave for work again in about three and a half hours. I might just go home. What can go wrong with a possibly-broken nose?
I probably won't have the guts to ask anyway. Your birthday's going to be interesting if you're not allowed any gifts. :P
Probably not much, given you seem to feel all right apart from that. But give it five more minutes. I have reason to believe someone will see you soon.
Well it's been a very long time since birthdays involved gifts, so never been a problem before. But that is different.
It makes me feel uncomfortable that i'm jumping the queue, if you mean what i think you mean. You lot still on the beach?
You're not jumping the queue. Unlike Mrs H I don't have that kind of sway over random A&Es (and I wouldn't anyway, I'm sure there are people much worse off than you there). You're seeing an old friend of mine from another department. I knew I must know someone in that place. It's...not exactly his field, but he's perfectly competent to patch you up.
STILL ON THE BEACH yes. Mycroft's stamina is impressive. Mine, less so.
Don't agree to be in any of his research trials! very important
I assumed Mrs H had done something.
But she probably wouldn't have got a gynaecologist to check a broken nose...thanks though. Pills and ice packs, sorted.
I'm off home. Be in touch tomorrow. it's clouding up here, surely even Mycroft has to give in to clouds?
Sleep well. Miss you.
If he'd asked me to.be in his trials I would really havr worried!
he says it'll clear by dawn. we'll see. good night, sweet dreams.
Aha, actually John, whether or not Callista Flockhart is an evil name is a hotly contested subject in that episode (it really comes down to the tone of voice in which one says it).
Anyhoo, glad to hear that Mycroft is apparently having a great birthday if his stamina in star watching is anything to go on. John, I hope you at least get to spend a large bit if tomorrow napping -- though with Sherlock I doubt it!
Lestrade, glad to hear that you came through fairly intact, even if your escape from the hospital necessitated some unorthodox measures. Have a great rest of your weekend.
I'm sure (well, I hope) that you're getting some well earned rest, and if Sherlock is up, his mother is taking care of him.
I look like I've been in a pub brawl. People keep staring at me.
Well, the people we arrested all look very pleased, but everyone else is staring.
You know, you guys never did explain properly what happened in Devon... or how that came to result in a DI sleeping on the sofa.
Lestrade - glad the damage wasn't too bad, hope the black eyes settle down soon. Can't imagine that the mysterious Mrs Holmes will think any the less of you for getting smacked by some nasty little scrote in the line of duty.
Mycroft - sounds like you had a wonderful view of the stars last night. What was the dawn like?
Thanks Nameless. No, she probably won't, it's just that age old thing of wanting to make a good impression, and now both times I've really met her I've been in fights. Like Danger says, I don't want her to think I always look like this for the boys.
or how that came to result in a DI sleeping on the sofa.
Sofa. Right.
Heh, well that's what the good doctor wrote at the time. Was he being coy? I'm shocked... :-p
Oh, there have been plenty of times when I've fallen asleep on the sofa. Not generally intentionally, though.
It's an even more dangerous place to sleep than John's room. In John's room Sherlock thinks for a minute before throwing himself on the bed. On the sofa, you're fair game for Sherlock and both dogs to wake you up by slamming into you/jumping on you/biting you etc.
You're right though, Danger isn't generally coy. I'm shocked too.
I wasn't being coy, you were asleep on my sofa when I posted that.
You know, you guys never did explain properly what happened in Devon..
I know, I was looking at what I posted back then and it really wasn't much, was it? I ought to do something about that, especially if I'm going to tell my parents about this blog.
it's a beautiful tale of boy-meets-boy in the rolling moorlands...oh, no, wait...It's a completely insane story involving feral kids, glow in the dark dogs and helicopters.
No one will believe it, Danger. I'm not sure I do, now.
Sally has got everyone here running around like blue-arsed flies, 'Operation Get-Lestrade-To-The-Train-On-Time'. We're interviewing and charging suspects like there's no tomorrow.
I adore Sally and her determination to help you have a life, Lestrade. She deserves flowers if she manages it. Or beer. Depends on her preference.
