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!

That could be amazing! (although it depends on them not screwing up too badly)
It is not a period of history that I know much about, but from what I do know it could be very interesting to watch a show about.

Turns out there is a miniseries about him, but it seems to be in French only:

:( Unless they have subtitles, in which case I could probably follow it.

Sadly it only seems to be on r1 dvd for some reason. I suppose it is not surprising that if there is one it would be in French - it would be fun to watch (although I'd need subtitles too)

I'd love to watch it, too, even with subtitles, although they kill my eyes. It might inspire me to pick up French again, if it's good enough. After all, I only started learning English to watch Star Trek in original. *g*
