quiet day

More dog walking and cake eating, but other than that, not much to report. I'm enjoying the Olympic tennis very much, especially as it looks like either Federer or Murray will get the gold now. I think it'd be a great boost for Murray to get it. He might even manage to win the US Open this year.

I'm still not sure what was going on last night that kept L out until all hours. I meant to wait up for him, but didn't quite manage it. Think I fell asleep somewhere around one, and I barely remember him kindly herding me off to bed when he got in.

The boys and I have been making plans for L's birthday. I think he'll be surprised, if not quite as surprised as last year, when he didn't remember it was his birthday at all. The plans include cake, of course, which I am making, by request, without assistance. The things we do for love...

Wish I could tell you. But I'd probably be zapped from space or something.

I assure you all herding bed-ward was selfishly motivated.

Your cake will be lovely.

here's hoping he accepts the spoiling, birthday's are hard for some people so it's nice when those you love make a fuss of you :-)

I hope you get some proper sleep tonight John :-)

(I'm sure your cake will be amazing but you can be sure that Greg will appreciate it however it turns out)

L - it's all right. Sorry I fell asleep, I didn't mean to.

The cake...we'll see.

Anonybob - I think nothing except the cake and dinner will be on his actual birthday due to his work hours, but we'll see what we can do with those days off afterward. :)

I'm glad you fell asleep! 4am is a stupid time to try and stay up to, believe me.

'designated birthday day' doesn't have to be the day the calendar gives you ;-)

I think nothing except the cake and dinner is a great sentence. I love how you love spoiling each other not just with things but with time and ideas :-)

I'm sure you'll come up with something suitable, Doc. Something fit for the available length without too much of a gap on either side.

Good luck with the cake. At least between your kitchen and Mrs Hudson's you can be pretty sure that you have all the right equipment. I once had to dash out to a store mid-recipe for a flour sifter.

Did the degus ever manage to complete Sherlock's obstacle course?

Sherlock, have you considered building an obstacle course for your DI and your nanny?

DW - only every day of his life...

We just about survive though. Mostly.
