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!

Yeah, it is - unfortunately, they no longer get it right. They use common biscuit for it, and it simply isn't the same if not done the right way.

Thanks for dropping in. The more, the merrier. How's your writing going? Anything on your plate before the November turn of picowrimo?

Surely we can get the real thing somewhere still--Vienna perhaps? Road trip?

I'm still working on the story I was writing during picowrimo July, I've been a bit swamped the last two months and haven't progressed as far as I wanted to. I'd like to work on it for November picowrimo I think. In the meantime, I've gotten my assignment for the MFU fandom's Xmas story exchange so I've started fiddling with that a bit as well.


Are you going to be taking another stab at Windswept during picowrimo?

Perhaps, I'm not sure. There's the Merlin epos that promises some good headway, plus Tolkien's Dwarves... but yeah, should the inspiration hit, I'll give it a try. You must write when you feel like writing, otherwise it's no fun at all.

I'm not sure they make Dobos Cake in Vienna, but I'll look it up for you when I get there with the 8th term group around the end of November. Suicidal me have volunteered to make a guided tour with them - must have been addled in the brain at that moment or whatnot.
