Next week just got slightly busier :) have an interview at the Gielgud at 12:45 on Tuesday, also on Tuesday is one of the rehearsals I've committed to... going to be a loooong but rewarding day.
1. Five things Holmes did when Watson caught cold.
1. Scowled, and ordered Watson to bed because he didn't want anything upsetting his experiments. (Mrs Hudson later made Holmes apologise.)
2. Spoon fed Watson copious amounts of chicken soup, until he faked being better because he couldn't eat another bowl of the damn stuff.
3. Worked for hours on a possible cure. Gave up when he could no longer concentrate due to the wracking coughs coming from the floor above. He then spent ages devising a cold prevention device, which was basically a mask and a pair of fluffy ear muffs. Watson almost choked laughing.
4. Came over all motherly. This perplexed Watson and put Mrs Hudson into a huff.
5. Performed a puppet show.
2. Five times Watson sneezed when he shouldn't have.
1. When Holmes was giving him a sympathy blow job, he almost choked and it certainly ruined the mood.
2. Whilst looking over Holmes's shoulder at his recent delicately balanced experiment.
3. Approximately point one of a second after he said he was perfectly fine and ready to go back out with Holmes.
4. When they were hiding in a dangerous location where the slightest sound could have awful consequences. Fortunately despite the cold Watson could still run very fast and Holmes forgave him.
5. Whilst giving Holmes a blow job. He then didn't help the situation by laughing uncontrollably at the look on Holmes's face.
3. Five things Mrs. Hudson makes as a get well potion. (Number four always gets poured into the fire when she leaves the room)
1. Her special chicken soup. Watson often takes illness because the soup rocks and she stands around him preventing Holmes was whisking him during food time.
2. Honey, lemon, hot water.
3. A large glass of whiskey, with a lemon.
4. Ol' Mrs Hudson's Cold and Flu Remedy - it tastes like the devil's dysentery and has been known to strip the paint off walls. It makes a great acceleratant, and you have to stand back very quickly before you loose your eyebrows.
5. A lovely cup of tea - because in England, tea cures everything.
4. Five times Watson faked a cold to get Holmes in bed with him. (slash or not, your choice)
1. During a particularly miserable night in a inn during a storm. Watson wanted to cuddle up, so pretended to be ill and acted all pathetic until Holmes climbed into bed next to him.
2. At 3am in the morning. Holmes said "Come on! The game's afoot!" and pulled the covers off him.
3. In his most pathetic voice he said "I feel dreadful, Holmes. I'm all cold and shivery..."
4. On the moors during HOUND, he casually suggested they go back to Baskerville Hall as he was sure he'd caught a cold and could do with some company in bed as the heating was terrible.
5. When Holmes had a cold.
5. Five things Holmes said when he was delirious with fever. (Watson will always cherish the second one)
1. "Oysters.... Watson, the oysters."
2. "THE BUNNIES! They're after me Watson, please you have to protect me." (Whilst failing in the bed and grabbing Watson's collar.)
3. "No, don't leave me. Percy!" (Watson really wanted to know who Percy was but Holmes had no idea.)
4. As he was falling asleep - "I do love Mrs Hudson's cookies." (Watson had to sneak out of the room before collapsing in a fit of giggles.)
5. Randomly woke up and shouted "MONKEY!" before falling asleep again.
Bonus:
Five things Holmes sent Watson to get to make him feel better when he came down with a bad cough. (Watson is still looking for the third one)
1. A tall glass of water with a single rose petal in it.
2. His stuffed mouse. Watson was under strict instructions to hide it under a towel so no one would see it, Watson didn't have the heart to tell Holmes that everyone already knows.
3. A cure for the common cold. (Watson suspects he was being sarcastic, but hey, why not?)
4. A softer pillow. Preferably filled with goose feathers.
5. That photograph of Lestrade in drag.
Five things Watson does with his famous "apple poultice" that Holmes absolutely loves. (Mrs. Hudson blushed when she saw the first one)
1. Paints Holmes's body with it. (It wasn't that Mrs Hudson had never seen Holmes naked before, it just wasn't every day that she saw him naked and incredibly aroused. Holmes was pretty embarrassed as well).
2. Makes little people out of it.
3. Spoon feeds it to him.
4. Mutually lick it off each other as apparently that's the best way to cure a sore throat.
5. Pops it on the end of his knob and gets Holmes to take it 'orally'.
(I admit that I had to look up what 'apple poultice' is. I still don't know but it apparently cures pink eye, skin conditions, sooths the mind and is good for sore throats. I also found a recipe for apple sandwiches which really makes you wonder how complicated it is...)
Cold is mostly gone, just the cough. I sometimes wonder what is going on in my flat, last night I the cough medicine wasn't anywhere whereas today I find it whilst looking for the jar of honey, which I now can't find!
Word of the Day: Quiddle v. to fiddle or diddle idly.
Happy Birthday
drellakowalski!
