She is the live-in nanny we hired to help with Watson.  John wanted to be free to assist me with cases again, but that often has us dashing out all times of the day and night, so we decided to have someone move into the downstairs flat.

My brother has access to a great many resources due to his work, so he screened several people and provided me with a narrowed down list, which I passed on to John.  We wanted to be sure that we not only had someone whose background checked out, but who would be able to protect Watson if anything were to happen.  

Due to the nature of my work, and things in John’s past, there is always a risk that people might want to hurt those close to us, and we wanted to make sure that whoever we hired to care for Watson would be capable of keeping their head in the face of risk or threat.  It was no small feat finding someone with such a skill set, and who was looking for a job in childcare.

We are very fortunate in Connie.  Like John she is former RAMC.  She is very capable.  She wanted a change when she got home from deployment.  There were incidents when she was serving, which I won’t go into here, as they are personal, which partially informed this choice, I believe.  But, we are grateful to have her.  

Steven Universe is the best show on television and Pearl had a whole episode where they showed her beginning to move on, so this information you have is pretty dated.

Me too. I was sad at first but now I think it’s probably for the better

I admit I’m not really getting the joke

datmycroft replied to your post: ummmm okay but like. is there any reason in...

That’s a really well known dr who quote and the fandoms often intersect.

Mrs Norbury was the shark. Why would Mary be the shark? She was the good guy?

What does this mean

In the final problem (book) there is a small fire at Baker Street, but they say no huge damage was done

yes yesss but the thing is that there are people worrying because of the countdown promo pics (which are not really reliable cause nothing fits with how the flat actually is, so it means something else)
