and the weekend is still too far off

incandescensWindy and rainy today, and still ongoing outside. I can hear the wind thrashing. It's the sort of weather which inspires descriptions of the wind going to and fro, or up and down, or round about, or like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (I have no shame when it comes to stealing good allusions. Or is it just borrowing?)
Passed the local haberdashery at lunch today and ended up with some new fabric. It was the sales. And a lot of new stuff in the remnants rack. It's not that I plead innocence, but I do plead that nobody should be surprised.
Very few people at work (or at least, very few of the ones I've asked) watched Sherlock: A Scandal In Belgravia. I am disappointed. But I look forward to this coming Sunday and The Hounds of Baskerville (sic). Let me not be disappointed. "Rats as big as dogs, he says, and dogs as big as horses," a character remarks in the trailer. Dare we hope for a interpolation by way of Sumatra?

Two months had gone by, and the case had to some extent passed from our minds. Then one morning there came an enigmatic note slipped into our letter box. "Dear me, Mr. Holmes. Dear me!" said this singular epistle. There was neither superscription nor signature. I laughed at the quaint message; but Holmes showed unwonted seriousness.
"Deviltry, Watson!" he remarked, and sat long with a clouded brow.
