Haha I thought so too at first, but I think there are exactly the amount of rings as correspond to the great rings of power: 3, 7, 9.
Looks fantastic!

Thank you all for good wishes - and thank you for the beautiful cake, johobbit!

Valiant_Nymph, well spotted about the rings. They are even grouped on the cake according to the numbers: 9 for the Men, 3 for the Elves, and 7 for the Dwarves.

I haven't planned anything special for this year, but I've had some phone calls and text messages today, and as it was a Friday I had the day off, so it's been a good day.

Next Wednesday there will be a small celebration in the lunchbreak at work, as today wasn't convenient. I guess there will be cake - but nothing as fancy as that Lothlórien-ish one. No surprise party, the boss thought it would be more important to announce it and make sure people (staff of 7 or 8 people) would be able to attend.

Varnafinde, I think your boss had good thinking I don't care for surprise parties myself, because that means I never get any input on what we are doing

Sounds lovely, Varna! How was the celebration?

Wishing a marvelous birthday to our very own coracle! You're the Auntie of NarniaWeb and a very treasured member. Have such a lovely day, coracle!

And now, a coracle cake, just for you!

Happy birthday, coracle!

Adding good wishes for the day, coracle!

Happy Birthday Coracle

Thank you! Jo, I am impressed by a coracle cake!!

Happy Birthday coracle!

Happy Birthday, coracle!

johobbit, the belated birthday celebration at work was really nice. A very good lunch, and I was given a plant - would the term be a houseplant? I guess it may be a Dahlia of sorts, and I hope I can make it survive in my office the six weeks before the summer holidays (when it's likely to die for lack of water).

I'm a bit late, but happy birthday to you, coracle! Hope you've had a wonderful day!

And glad to hear that you had a good birthday and belated celebration, Varna! The flower sounds pretty.

Thank you for the kind wishes. I had a day out in historic Chester, and it was lovely and sunny (probably in honour of the royal wedding).

Glad you enjoyed your day, Auntie!

Happy Birthday to aileth! It is such a joy to know you, and to have even met you in offline life, no less. Wishing you a very lovely day as friends and family celebrate you.



Hmm, I can't fit the entire image on here, but I especially like the cupcake to the right that is cut off that emphatically states "I ♥ Reading!" ... which suits to a 'T'!

Happy birthday, aileth! Hope you're having a great day!

(Those cupcakes are so cute, Jo!)
