I shall be glad when the snow melts.  Holmes maintained he was not bothered, until he came to walk down the pavement earlier today.  The pavement has been cleared, but remains icy, a fact which Holmes demonstrated to the entertainment of various passing delivery boys when he slipped and flew gracefully into the air.  Somehow I maintained a straight face.

So Holmes' grace and agility does know a bound. Good to know!

Apparently the language upon landing was not what is recorded in Dr Watson's usual tales.

Poor Holmes ^^" I hope he was all right.

His dignity was rather bruised - at least that was how Holmes termed it.

"Oh, great heavens!"

"It's all right, Mrs. Hudson! I'm just rubbing ointment on Mr. Holmes's... dignity."

"In which case, Doctor, I suggest Mr Holmes' maintains his dignity with a little more decorum."

Poor Holmes...pleased Watson witnessed it though:-)

He was, of course, appropriately sympathetic.

Of course:-)

The row of delivery boys hold up placards: 8.7, 9.3, 9.0, 8.9, 9.8.

Holmes felt the 8.7 was unjustifiably low, but Watson pointed out he had failed to tip that particular delivery boy on his last visit.

Now I am longing to see Holmes and Watson on ice skates-- I am sure they would be graceful indeed!

"I was not convinced learning a new skill was appropriate at my time of life. Holmes however was adamant it wouldn't require too much trouble to learn. I bought more arnica on our journey back to Baker Street."

Hooray!

Graceful in all things, Holmes! In Watson's eyes, if none other. :-)

The flying was graceful - the landing less so ;)
