Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H Watson

havetardiswilltimetravel asked: So what did you both end up getting each other for Christmas?

Well, I’m sort of regretting getting Sherlock what I did now. I managed to get hold of a human skeleton on a frame. It now stands next to the fireplace, keeping the skull company. But whenever I come down for breakfast it’s looking at me when I walk through the door. It’s really unnerving. I’ve turned it round so it’s not facing me, but it always moves back again when I’m out. Sherlock assures me he isn’t responsible, but it doesn’t take the world’s only consulting detective to work out he’s lying.

It’s not all bad, I suppose. He bloody loves that thing. He covered the chest in plasticine and stabbed it from various angles yesterday. Had so much fun.

As for what he got me, well, I think he thought of it as some ironic joke but I absolutely love it. It’s a jumper with black cats all over the front! They’ve even got little glass eyes. He got me some posh jam from Fortnum and Mason, too.

John.
