I didn't realize it was the birthdays of waveney and pinkdormouse -- may they be joyful and -- what does "many happy returns of the day" mean? Well, may you have that too.

what does "many happy returns of the day" mean?

A poetic way of saying many more years of life (and birthdays). :-)

OOh, look, simul-posting! :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Snap!

It's a wish for a long and happy life (as the birthday returns again and again).

Which is why I *love* saying "Many happy returns" to people, even though no American gets it unless they've read British books like I have. *sigh*

I think the only place I recall seeing it was in Winne-the-Pooh, in the chapter about Eeyore's birthday (which I must admit is my favourite)

That's where I remember it from the most... which is why one should know it, because Eeyore rocks. :)

Belated thanks. I've been away on and off the last two weeks, and so haven't dropped by here until now.

*waves happily* glad you're back, then.

Back, mostly healthy, and posting picspam of Otters and Exmoor Ponies

I really should have been keeping up with your Dr Who comments -- you're one of the few people I read who doesn't get picked up by who_daily.

Oooh, pretty!

How does one get picked up by who_daily, then?

Glad you like the photos.

who_daily seems to be like a lot of these comms -- they pick you up because someone somewhere spots something you've posted. I seem to be on the F'list or friendsfriends for several of the various communities' mods these days, so my wafflings get picked up every so often.
