So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

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!

I've not said anything about our new home, which we moved into in February. We're still getting settled -- 10 years in the last place was the longest I'd lived anywhere in my life, so moving, particularly in between snowstorms, was a challenge at many levels. But it's beginning to have that feel of "home" for me as I nudge myself to go sit in the front room to drink my tea and read, rather than hunkering here at my work table in the bedroom in the back.

The 2 bedroom flat itself is a bit rough in spots, and we're still finding places to put things away, but it's getting to be cozy. I like the relative quiet of our one-block, one-way street, compared to the busy two-way street we lived on before. The back porch is a generous size, and our dog, Mac, is very fond of it. He goes up to the back door, sits, and makes the most pitiful sounds until he is let out. Even in rain or cold, he needs at least a brief visit to survey his domain!

Sounds nice, good to know you are settling in well.

Quiet & cosy are definitely good! And it's nice that your dog is adjusting happily.

We're moving sometime between end of November and early next year after ~15 years in one place, my longest ever. Hopefully no snowstorms to contend with though!

Good luck with the move!

Thank you! I think we're going to need it!

Wishing you an easy move and no snow!

Thank you! The new house is on the coast, so I'm hoping snow will be confined to the nearby hills.

Sounds lovely. Why do you have to live on the other side of the planet? I'll never get the chance to visit you, especially with my flying fobia.

Its great that your settling in - animals love their routines and they definitely love to survey their domain!
