It's been a busy week or so. We've had some sad RL news, which I won't dwell on, but fortunately a few nice things, too.
We went down to London for a couple of days last week.  We visited the Sherlock exhibition at the Museum of London, saw Mamma Mia! at the Novello & the Poppy installation at the Tower of London.  It was a brilliant visit - we had such an amazing time.

Hmmm, this seems familiar...

( ... )

Ceramic poppies in the moat of the Tower - one poppy for every British & Commonwealth soldier who died during the First World War. There'll be over 888,000 when they're all planted.  It was incredibly moving.




And we went to Coalbrookdale at the weekend & did a lovely walk up in the fields & hills there.  Bud loved it - especially mooching in the brooks & streams. :)



( more of the Budlington... )

There's no new Spn this week but the trailer for next week looks awesome!

And how cute were the boys in their Halloween costumes? LOL



I love that Misha is doing 'Dean's' bow legs! And Jensen is making that Sam face!
Love it! \o/

I hope that everyone is happy & well!
*hugs*

Mr B & I popped down to London last weekend to watch the World Triathlon Series in Hyde Park. While we were there, we checked out a couple of locations from the BBC Sherlock. *g*

( pics this way )


We had such a smashing day.

Oh, and I saw this while we were there & thought of you,  tangotabby! *g*




In other news, I have another book rec - well, a series of books: The Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries by Carola Dunn.  They're more Golden Age murder mysteries & I love The Honourable Daisy & her Scotland Yard friend, Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher. (I think there's romance afoot there, but I'm only on book three so we'll have to wait & see - no spoilers please! *g*)  There was even a lovely bit of gay romance in one book - bonus or what?! ;)
Anyway, I'm completely hooked - it's all your fault caffyolay! *g*

I haven't been onto LJ for a week or so - I hope that everyone is happy & well!
Also, apologies for any missed birthdays - if you have celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful day!
*hugs*

xanthelj sent me the link for this, & I absolutely laughed out loud as I read it.



Big Brother is Watching You

Sherlock/John, PG-13

Sherlock and John have to enter the Big Brother house - you can imagine what happens! LOL
It's absolute genius!

... cus I'm super busy with the Art Valentines.

Just had to rec this awesome little Sherlock/John song vid though.

Accidentally in Love by bluemoon679

The song works perfectly. ♥
I seem to remember - I think - a J-Squared song vid made to this, too? Which was also fabulous. ♥

I love song vids... Fic, art, song vids, pod fic... Fandom gives us so much!
*happy sigh*

Okay, this may have been written by a dear & wonderful friend & I may have also beta'ed it.
But this rec has nothing to do with either of those things - it's just a really fabulous story! ♥

The Velveteen Doctor by lantean_drift

Author's summary:

A series of events that show John just how real he has become to Sherlock – like a bright, brilliant flash of colour in an otherwise greyscale world.

But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.

This is such a lovely song vid. ♥
