This week I shall be answering the questions from the meme (there is still time to ask further questions), but you may be able to work out which character responds to which number, which would be cheating.
We begin with
nagi_schwarz question:
Sister Julienne (Call the Midwife) and Thorin Oakenshield (The Hobbit) decide to stay in and watch a film. What do they pick and what snacks do they have?Thorin tentatively suggests
The Sound of Music, thinking this might be appropriate, but Sister Julienne tells him not to be ridiculous, they need an action film. They settle on
Red, with Sister Julienne cheering on Helen Mirren. They have ice cream, which Thorin gets in his beard whenever he gets too engrossed in the film and the ice cream melts. Both thoroughly enjoy themselves and agree to have a monthly film night.
Meanwhile, as per
stonepicnicking_okapi question:
Sister Evangelina (Call the Midwife) and Lucas North (Spooks) have gone fishing. What do they catch and does either (and if so which?) fall out of the boat.The boat owner is rather surprised to find a nun wanting to go sea fishing, but as she's happy to pay he agrees to take the two of them out. They catch a number of mackerel, which pleases Sister Evangelina because she plans to have some for her tea. Meanwhile, Lucas has spotted something strange in the water and starts to lean out to get a better look. Sister Evangelina notices him and tells him very sharply to sit down, and she will retrieve it. When her back is turned Lucas begins to inch his way towards the side of the boat. Sister Evangelina turns back and gives him her patent glare, perfected over many years, and Lucas obediently resumes his original position and stays there whilst Sister Evangelina retrieves the plastic box Lucas was after.
mafief provided a follow up question:
How does Harry Potter, who is watching from the shore, act?Harry could have used a discrete bit of magic to help Lucas, but he's too amused, so settles for recording the action on a muggle smartphone.
Elsewhere,
vix_spes asked:
There's a heatwave. How do Stanley Hopkins and Tigger Holmes cope?DI Stanley Hopkins of the Met River Police takes a friend's boat up the river, finding the best of the breeze as he does so. Tigger Holmes goes too, although every so often he bounces off the boat and into the river. Stanley expertly throws the life belt out and pulls Tigger back. Tigger dries off in the sunshine, and starts to bounce again. Stanley doesn't mind, he enjoys practicing his accuracy at throwing. And at least Tigger doesn't argue about wearing his life jacket, which Sherlock would do.
And while all this is going on
Debriswoman has asked:
Dr Watson has been given the job of chaperoning Sherlock Holmes on an evening out with the Ferret. Oddly, events do not go as planned.Watson had understood this was to be a reconnaissance trip. He had not really seen the need for his presence, but the Ocelot had insisted he go. Watson and Holmes were walking past the town house Holmes was intending to call at the day after, when the Ferret, who was sitting in Holmes' jacket pocket, pointed out a side window was ajar. Instantly Holmes changed direction and crept up to the window. The Ferret slipped inside, and Holmes opened the window slightly more and followed him. Watson was left to keep guard on the road. When he saw a policeman approaching on his rounds he began to whistle loudly, with the result the policeman thought Watson was drunk and wanted to arrest him. Fortunately, Holmes had been alerted and climbed back out of the window. Slipping behind the policeman he was able to join Watson saying, "Sorry to be so late, I was unavoidably detained." The policeman realised Watson hadn't been drunk, but merely bored, and wished them both a 'Good evening'. As he departed he wondered why there was a strong smell of peppermint coming from Holmes' jacket pocket.
