Party time again!

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

Happy Birthday! And thank you! There's a lot of potential in your world building there.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. :)

So, do you think it's better this way? The original version started with the descriptions in the middle and totally lacked any protagonists. Was this what you thought when you suggested to turn it around?

Yes, it definitely works better this way. I'd like to see more so I can compare properly, but it's off to a good start.

As soon as I actually have written more, you'll see more, promise. ;)
