Happy Birthday! Many returns of the day!

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

Thank you!!

[sanguinity]

Happy birthday! And many more!

Have plans to celebrate, beyond Holmestice and Good Omens?

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

Thank you!! We already had a cookout and s'mores and a hike with my family Sunday so not much today--just lazy cozy time with my kiddo, and I've treated myself to a coffee and earrings. We've got friends coming over tonight for our weekly hangout anyway so I'll just make that about me too. ;)

Oh, excellent! Low-key birthdays can be very nice, in my opinion. Enough fuss to give the day a little glow, but not so much fuss as to be pressure, you know? And it's especially nice if you can drag that out over several days. :-)

I AM SO EXCITED FOR BOTH THESE THINGS. And also for your birthday, in an indistinct, "happy birthday!" type way :P

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

HOORAY and thank you!

[mightymads]

Many happy returns!

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

Happy birthday! Wishing you many blessings today and all throughout this new year that begins for you!

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

Thank you very much!!

Yay, wishing you the happiest of days and years ahead! Here, I think Vasily Livanov wants to sing you a birthday song :)

Crocodile Gena's Birthday Song

(Translation by eolinium):

Let pedestrians toddle
And the rainwater gurgle
As it streams underneath their feet
Let pedestrians wonder
Why this day full of thunder
Makes me look so jolly & upbeat.

Look, I play my concertina
As they pass me on their way.
It would make me the total winner
If my birthday was EVERY day!

A magician, no whopper,
Will fly his light blue helicopter
And will do magic tricks for a laugh.
“Happy Birthday!” he’ll cheer
And, I hope, make appear
a hundred Eskimo Pies with a puff!

Look, I play my concertina
As they pass me on their way.
It would make me the total winner
If my birthday was EVERY day!

That's AMAZING. Thank you, lovely!!

That is adorable! Thank you so much for linking it!

btw, did you know that Livanov stars in a Holmes short opposite a criminal crocodile?

[rachelindeed]

Hee hee, so pleased you liked it! John was introduced to it in one of his Russian language classes in college, and passed it on to me :) I was very surprised when I learned, years later, who the singer was!

OMG, that cartoon was the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time! I feel like I now ship it with the Mystery! opening credits that used to come on before every episode of Granada Holmes on PBS :)

[sanguinity]

Well, I have it on very good authority that Holmestice accepts treats...

[rachelindeed]

LOL! I am indeed aware, and already have certain nefarious plans :)

[sanguinity]

Oo, nefarious treats!

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

Nefarious treats are clearly the best kind.

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

WHAT.

[a_candle_for_sherlock]

That’s glorious

[sanguinity]

These two comments neatly express the guiding criteria behind all my Holmestice requests this round. :-D
