Benedict Cumberbatch - Award Acceptance Speech At Palm Springs Gala (finally the full thing, I’ve been dying to know what he had said about the opticians lol)

Simon Says…. it’s day 2 of #CabinPressureAdvent, which means you should be listening to ‘Boston’ today. What’s that, you say? No, I’m not crying… Some smoke got in my eyes.

The Players Club

The fifth of November will certainly live up to its rhyme in the Benedict Cumberbatch fandom. News broke this morning that Benedict Cumberbatch got his knee dirty and proposed to his girlfriend Sophie Hunter.

It was announced so classily, and was there ever a doubt, by his parents in The Times...

It’s that time again! BSI Weekend is approaching in January and this is a SAVE THE DATE and a CALL FOR FANWORKS of our charity ball!

This year it is a Sussex Retirement theme aka 1920s! We want BEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!

The Daintiest (Bee) Under Your Bonnet Charity Ball Sussex Flapper Party to benefit Wounded Warrior Project At 8:00 pm January 8th Following the BSI Distinguished Speaker Lecture

The Players Club 16 Gramercy Park South $45/ticket for Buffet, Goodie Bags, Live Piano, Quiz & Costume Competition with Prizes, Live Auction

Tickets will be released very soon, and we will update everyone when they finally go up on all our social media sites.

Now, as I’m sure you know by now, 100% of proceeds from the Ball go to benefit wounded veterans.

We are requesting if any of you fine citizens of the internet are inclined to clean out any Sherlockian-oriented closets or donate original pieces of art and crafts, we would be thrilled and honored to accept donations to our live and silent auctions. 

The cause could not be more important, and we’ve been lucky enough to raise $8,000 in the past two years for our wounded war heroes through the amazing Wounded Warrior Project, and that effort depends on your generosity and the generosity of folk who might hear about this drive from you! Shipping becomes very difficult during the holiday season.  So if anyone has an item to contribute or a suggestion to make, we’re all ears, and will promptly give you our mailing address or collect the object at a Sherlockian event in the NYC area.

Please email Lyndsay at [email protected] with any offers of items, art, or crafts with a Sherlockian theme.

Super thanks to mdsora for the gorgeous graphic!

And the famous phone booth next to Bart's (though a lot of the notes shown in that 2012 article had been removed). I'm torn on the graffiti issue, but in all honesty, this warmed every cockle of my little heart...

First batch from a morning's visit to St. Bart's. My particular favorite is the "NO A&E at this hospital" sign (just a morgue - whoops)...

[travelinglime]

Had a lovely glass (or two) of port at Gordon's Wine Bar one night with my friend J.

Ex Cellar is a fascinating spot I found under a bridge around the corner from St. Bart's. Seems to be a liquor distributor of some sort, but a rather fly-by-night sort of operation...

Took a train out Reading-way from Paddington and found a sign for Wokingham! I was so tempted to visit, just to try to find a "Welcome to Wokingham" sign...

Lovely day spent on the Heath, with drinks and delicious meats after...

Benedict Cumberbatch has Star Trek fanboy freak-out on Imitation Game red carpet In the midst of some wise words about Alan Turing, the star suddenly spotted his former colleagues from the sci-fi blockbuster - the result was beautiful…

Visit to Parliament on May 14th - I luckily got one of the last seats for Prime Minister's Question Time. Awesome to see it live!

Random and touristy - including my terrifying ride in the Eye and an awesome tour inside the Globe...
