Warning/Content: Holmes is not happy with his breakfast

One autumn morning Holmes glared at his breakfast egg and remarked, “I see the latest issue of The Strand is out, for whoever was cooking our eggs has paid far more attention to your newest ridiculously sensational story than they should.”

Strangely, my egg seemed to have been correctly timed.  “Actually, Holmes,” I replied, “I believe Mrs Hudson is still annoyed with you after the affair of the purple tinged pillowcase.”

Holmes compared his burnt toast with my perfectly browned slices.  “I fear you may be correct,” he muttered. 

I poured him a cup of tea and passed it over.

Very nice use of the improperly cooked egg clue!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I thought there might be an alternate explanation!

Very astute, Watson:-)

[smallhobbit]

Having taken ALL the facts into account...

A clever and amusing twist on THOR ^___^

Things aren't always quite as they appear to Holmes!

"Well, Holmes, judging from the force with which she threw your bowl of porridge at your head, I would say that Mrs. Hudson is still a bit put out."

[smallhobbit]

Indeed!

(Lovely to see you, hope all is well)

Thanks! I'm quite all right, just taking a mini-sabbatical this year from a lot of the prompt-sites (except for the July Watson's Woes Promptfest).
