Author's Notes: July 3rd 2019 prompt: Bloody Weather! Include some meteorological elements.

.oOOo.

Since my health forbade me from venturing out unless the weather was exceptionally genial, I had become Baker Street’s de facto resident barometer.

Having activities everyone else took for granted curtailed by fog or a splash of rain was beyond frustrating and Holmes’s flippant attitude towards my plight only worsened my mood.

‘It was just a minor brawl,’ he said as I sutured his cuts. ‘Perhaps you will join me next time.’

When the “next times” included a dog attack, a fall in the Thames, and a crossbow injury, I resolved in the future to accompany Holmes, weather or not.

.oOOo.

Weather or not
Clever and terribly endearing. Thank you for sharing!

[capt_facepalm]

Thanks! It's still early in this event and the clever will likely run out soon.

Very wise, Watson:-p

[capt_facepalm]

Thanks! I had a whole pile of Holmes' misadventures for Watson to repair but the wordcount spoiled my fun.

"If inconvenient, I shall come all the same." :D

[capt_facepalm]

Good old Watson! :D

[smallhobbit]

Sensible move!

[capt_facepalm]

Holmes will regret it when the grumbling becomes voluble.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Brave the elements, Watson!

[capt_facepalm]

I'm sure he will. Thanks!

Splendid pinpoint use of paranomasia.

[capt_facepalm]

The only good paronomasia is bad paronomasia.

Watson just couldn’t miss out on so much fun :)

[capt_facepalm]

Watson starts to worry when Holmes keep returning, looking so much like what the cat dragged in.

[caffienekitty]

Hes doing this on purpose isn't he. XD

[capt_facepalm]

(Yes)
Using Watson's increasing alarm with each subsequent misadventure as a way to force him off his arse the sofa.
