So, it is party time again, folks!

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.
This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.
Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)
So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!
Soledad, in excited expectation

Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.
Enjoy!

Date: 2014-10-05 03:29 pm (UTC)I work at home and am at the computer all day, and I realized I had to do something that completely removes me from that environment for at least part of every day. I mean besides daily chores kind of stuff.

Date: 2014-10-05 04:26 pm (UTC)It is very good to have things (not chores!) that take you away from what you do for work. It is one of the things I love about baking; because it isn't something I do to feed myself, like cooking, it isn't a chore, and it is very different to working at the computer or reading which is a lot of what my job tends to be for me.

Date: 2014-10-05 05:12 pm (UTC)However, having got myself a new sewing machine at the beginning of the year, I've been doing more - recently using its automatic button hole making to replace poppers on duvet covers with buttons. It worked very well on the first one - it no longer undoes itself overnight (or even longer term), but I have to finish the second one - it has been sitting around waiting for the buttons to be sewn on for about a fortnight now.
Once I'm a bit better, I want to work on finishing off a sampler I was making - all the embroidery is done, but it needs to be sewn onto backing material and finished off to be hung up.

Date: 2014-10-05 05:32 pm (UTC)As for Camelot, I was mostly put off by the unlikeable main characters. Still, the motivation of Camelot's Morgan was a hundred times more convincing than that of Merlin's Morgana.

2) The complete lack of consequent rules. Things work differently on different days of the week or by rainy weather or only God nows why. Learning the countless rules of German grammar is a PITA, but at least when you have learned them, they cause no further problems.
