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!

I didn't know Ithilwen would be coming to the Netherlands - I've been terribly out of touch of late. Must contact her to ask for the details.

Life is treating me fairly well these days. My daughters have both moved out to study, each at a different university, and they're doing very well so far. Theoretically, I've got more time for myself now. Let's say it's a beautiful theory... I wonder how the publishers offering me books to translate found out about it - they must have, as the deadlines get tighter and tighter. The upside is that it brings in a bit more money.
How are you doing?
