Question: what nicknames do you call your boyfriends/girlfriends/partners? I tend to call Sherlock 'love' and he makes the word John sound like a term of endearment. But I called him 'sweetheart' today and we both decided it wasn't right for us, but couldn't place why. Why is there a line you can cross with pet names?

Don’t tell Sherlock, but I’ve invited Greg, Mike and Molly around for a games night tonight. 

Last day on holiday in Sussex today. We were at the little greengrocers in the village yesterday morning and I saw Sherlock notice something about one of the customers. He tried to be subtle but his interest was clearly piqued by something dodgy he'd deduced this bloke was up to! I said that if he was bored of doing nothing we could go out and investigate but he told me there was nothing that would ever be boring about me. Me! A dull old doctor who had nothing in his life before Sherlock! I said I'd take the compliment and we pottered back to the flat and played scrabble (he's rubbish at it, by the way). I'll miss our little haven in Sussex but I can't wait to get back to London and be Sherlock-and-John on the case. I reckon it'll be different now we're together but Sherlock disagrees and thinks he can be a professional about it. I'm tempted to mess with him and see if I can get him to crack, what do you think?
