Sherlockian trinkets
Ah, well. My weakness. Well, one of them, anyway!
So – this is my latest acquisition:
I am realising that I barely write anything here. Must rectify that.
On the off-chance that someone reading this has not already seen it – the summer issue of the e-magazine of the Sherlock Holmes Society of India (it’s called “Proceedings of the Pondicherry Lodge”) is out now – has been for over a week. It’s available for free download and distribution at http://www.sherlockholmessociety.in.

Not a day goes by…
Ok, that probably didn’t make any sense.
So, here – a picture is worth a thousand words, anyway:
How to learn new languages
The best way to go about it, IMHO:
From The Empty Hearse (one of my favourite scenes):
S: Didn’t know you spoke Serbian.
M: I didn’t. But the language has a Slavic root…frequent German and Turkish loan words – took me two hours.
S: You’re slipping.
M: Middle age, brother mine, comes to us all.
Gifts from Bohemia!
Stuff from my favourite artist in the world! Yes, that’s his artwork on all of them:
Petr Kopl, you’re the best!
Sherlock Bones
Quite a rage these days!
Cute, eh?
My favourite Sherlock
That’s my favourite Sherlock – well, obviously. Ain’t he lovely?
Oh, Sherlock – you’re the best. Really.
Did you know today is the 100th day of this year? And since I’ve been putting up a Year of Sherlock Snippet on Facebook everyday – today was Year of Sherlock Snippet #100. It was “There will always come a time when we need Sherlock Holmes.”
Truer words were never said.
This is my current desktop wallpaper -If you’re a fan of Sherlock – whether you’re just Sherlocked or suffer from StockHolmes Syndrome, you should head to Sherlockology at the beginning of every month, solve their puzzle and download that month’s Sherlock wallpaper. I do it. This is the one for April, clearly.
Oh, yes – if you’re in London, tomorrow (April 11, 2014) there’s a conference called “New Directions in Sherlock” at UCL. Here’s the programme – though I’m not sure if it’s the final one (I really wanted to go, but real life interfered, unfortunately):
Anyhow, that’s that.
I’ve shifted to a new cabin at work – and this one has a window with a view of the High Court:
May not be much – but I love the colours. The red brick of the court and the green foliage.
And guess who dominates my cabin?
Who else but Mr Sherlock Holmes?
I wish I were rich. Then I could build a Sherlock Holmes Museum and even have a small temple in it to worship him.
Jai Sherlock Holmes!
