Party time again!

wiseheartHi 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 wonder if Gandalf passed that way between Bree and Weathertop. I guess Bilbo knew it well.
Re: Birthday Present the Second
Date: 2011-10-07 05:26 pm (UTC)I expect Gandalf would have - after all it could be somewhere that he hoped to get news of the Hobbits. I wonder whether Aragorn intended them to go there from Bree, but didn't dare after how narrowly they escaped the Black Riders.
Bilbo could have stayed there on the way back from his first adventures...

Date: 2011-10-07 06:42 pm (UTC)I wonder if Aragorn hoped to stay there too. Poor Pippin and Sam, missing out on even more beer.

Probably better for them - less opportunities to get into trouble...

Re: Birthday Present the Second
Date: 2011-10-07 08:10 pm (UTC)But that can be a picture before it was ruined...after all it won't have started out ruined. :D
