Mr Holmes, please find the missing pages of my manuscript. DULL!
I have an idea how it happened and it's entirely my fault. Can't even blame the computer.

Promise him a cigarette for the trouble of finding them for you... Guaranteed he will be all over you!

Hope you found the pages, or at least had chance to rewrite them. There is nothing more irritating than losing pages of prose. I bought a 1TB external hard drive to prevent such loss... Mostly because my colleagues and loved ones can't stand the swearing or the black moods when that happens!

Should have tried that.

I found some pages and had to rewrite the rest but it went quite well. I think I shall buy an external hard drive, too. My fault.

Got 1TB external hard drive from Amazon for £70. Works like a charm.

I just ordered one from Toshiba . Should work with my iMac. At least I hope so.

I should have written that it is also possible to buy local...
Anyway, external hard drives are in fact reassuring to have.
Esp. when you have also the full Sherlock on it. Just to make sure

Pictures, music, videos.... my computer didn't work properly anymore.
Have a 1TB external, too. Perfect!! Media Markt, special offer. ;-)

SusiGo, this is great! Sherlock with herbal tea and mulling over relationships, indeed!

I'm still laughing! Glad there's no one else here or they would think I've lost my mind. Excellent story, really gives us an insight! You have shown us how special John Watson really is :D

Keep going!

Thank you very much. It was great fun to write it. If I have time and ideas I'll have another go.

Wonderful! Loved that, I could see him speaking while I was reading you captured the spirit of Mr. Holmes!

Thank you so much, that makes me really happy.

Hi SusiGo,
I have just discovered your fic and read it. I like it and had to laugh several times.
I expected while reading that the story would end with John's point of view. Not that he is a saint, but to see that these men just complement each other.

Never mind, thank you for posting. Will you write another one?

I'm glad you like it. I've been very busy recently so there was no time for another one. But when I have the right idea and time enough I'll give it a try.
