He finishes writing his observations, all the while staring at the living room, where John's voice is coming from.

"No."

"No meaning, 'Yes, John, I've learned that when you ask me to do that it's because you're going to buy groceries' or 'No, bugger off you tosser, I don't care if I die of starvation'?" John peeks in and immediately

This was my first story of the day. What a lovely way to begin! I really enjoyed this look at Sherlock & John's arrangement and the affectionate feelings Sherlock has.

At the suicide when Sherlock pulls out a microscope - should this be magnifier? To me a microscope is a tabletop device but now I'm wondering if British English would call it differently.

Oh, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh my god! *face palm & a head desk* I didn't notice that at all XD You're right, I meant to type magnifier because of course, a microscope is simply too big to keep in a pocket :'D Thank you for the correction.

Well ,most ' (classic Holmes ) magnifiers' are only about three to perhaps ten power- They show about three inches of surface, from five to ten inches away

--there are now "pocket microscopes" (some with their own LED light source) that are in the 20 to 35 power range. Field of view is naturally Much smaller.. and you must be Almost touching what you are looking at

I carry one of those--It is actually *Smaller* than the classic hand-lens, and doubles as a tiny electric torch

I really enjoyed this! Their voices are spot on and it feels very authentic from Sherlock's POV.
I liked the little details like "six months (three weeks and one day) and the trace of milk on John's lip, which Sherlock wants to do things to. They leave things to the reader's imagination very skillfully.

[undrscoredom2nd]

Hee, it's always fun to read that I get Sherlock's POV cause I'd always thought I'd find it hard to. Thank you :)
