Monthly Prompt: August

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Suggested by my esteemed colleague, and inspired by thoughts of holiday buckets and spades, the prompt for this month is:



Hand Utensils



Use a utensil in your story in some way: a spade, a mop, an iron, a gun… Something from the kitchen, something from the laboratory, something from the armoury… Whatever you like!


As always, you needn’t use the prompt if you don’t wish to. Once you’re a member, you can post what and when you want—as long as you keep to the 500 words or less wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.

Please see the profile for the full posting guidelines!

To borrow a phrase:

Good Lord.

Hee, hee. I do believe you're not alone in your reaction, madame, but you fill your holiday bucket, I'll fill mine :)

Message from Mrs Hudson - please do not leave it lying around, she has enough trouble keeping housemaids as it is.

Oh, quite. *scratches out 'fun' on holiday bucket and replaces it with 'soil & gravel samples, Camberwell & surrounding disticts.'*

Quite taken with the notion of a holiday bucket:-)

It's not an American term, but I assume it means the pail & things that kids take the beach to make sandcastles?

Yep...I presume so too
I have several storing stuff in my shed:-)
