Party time again!

[wiseheart]

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!

No, I haven't seen any of Camelot yet. The first series, or what's there of it, was on sale as a boxed edition when I went to England, but I didn't know whether my cash would be enough, as it was at the very beginning of the trip, so I didn't dare to buy it.

I read a lot of derogative comments, including the one that the only highlight were the nekkid sex scenes, especially the ones with Eva Green, so I'm actually glad I haven't wasted my money on it. Still, I'd like to watch it, as Sean Pertwee and Clive Standen are in it, and I like them both.

Perhaps German TV will bring it one day...

From what I've seen it isn't too bad - but then I like the fact that it is anchored in an earlier historical period and actually deals with the issues of Arthur trying to establish himself as king - there is a sword in the stone, but it doesn't make everyone accept him as king and start being civilised...

However, not sure if it worth spending much money on - I really should watch the rest of the episodes and see where they go...

It's quite different from the BBC series, where Arthur is already crowned as the Crown Prince, I guess. As I said, I'd like to watch it, even if it's bad, because I'm curious, but not badly enough to spend money on it, unless it's a sale. The guy who plays Sir Kay looks awfully cute, though.
