Sherlock Holmes and the Delayed Update

[dolorous_ett]

If you've been watching this journal waiting for your weekly dose of Sherlock Holmes I'm afraid you have waited in vain - at least for this week. The two days I'd set aside for writing turned into days devoted to lying on the sofa feeling poorly in between bouts of trying to catch up with real-life work - and that was that for this week's chapter.

There'll be further delays in the next few weeks as I rush to complete my  hp_summergenfic and sort out unrelated RL matters, but Holmes has not gone away - in the best British tradition his train has merely been delayed, and before too very long he will arrive at his destination, tired, ill-tempered and resentful but perfectly safe.

So sorry to hear you've been feeling poorly. Hope you're a bit better now.

As for Holmes - the best things are always worth the waiting for.

Oh, I'm all right really - it's just some lurgy that's been going around. Nothing that a few pipes of foul tobacco and possibly a syringe or two wouldn't cure... ;)

Oh, marvelous! This fic already was something enjoyable to sink into, and now you've edged it into RL, and I feel rightthere with Irritated!Holmes and his train. BRAVO

Heeee!

Only you could find something charming to say about a story that isn't even there! *g*

That's what he gets for taking the train on a Sunday: engineering works!

(Sorry to hear you've been poorly. Hope you're feeling better!)

Don't I know it about the train. I'm supposed to be taking one home the day after tomorrow - about 7 hours on what should be a direct line. It's really embarrassing how rubbish we are at trains in this country.

And thanks - I'm basically OK by now, just very tired.

Mrs Hudson probably packed supplies aplenty - I think he'll be fine with sandwiches and grumbling.

Hope RL things are settling down soon.

Mrs Hudson wouldn't be Mrs Hudson if she didn't pack a fantastic picnic basket - and complain if it came back with any food left in it!

RL's OK really - I'm just very tired.

Hope you're feeling better now - and I shall look forward to more Holmes when you can fit him in!

Thank you! I'm basically OK - and I've started the next chapter of Holmes, though I'm not sure when I'll get time to finish it...

Get well soon!

Oh, I'm all right really. Just not intelligent enough to write anything useful...
