Quite a short post today, just one bit of info to impart.
Assuming that most people will read this ‘tomorrow’ (i.e. 7th November) – although I don’t understand time differences at all – I shall be all subtle and wish The Carbon
Copy a very Happy Birthday. See what you can deduce from that…. ! The picture is the wonderful birthday cake Our Vicar’s Wife made last year.
And a good opportunity to say how nice it is to have you all stop by. With the exceptions of the few unpleasant ‘anonymous’ comments (why bother commenting? why read the blog at all, one wonders?) you’re a lovely, lovely bunch of people and it’s a pleasure to know you’ll pop along and share some bookish chat. Currently getting around 110-130 ‘unique users’ a day, according to StatCounter, and each and every one is very welcome. Hope you’ve found something to enjoy and to read whilst you’ve been here!
Happy Birthday Simon! I can’t wait to see this year’s birthday cake.
Have a wonderful day with plenty of time to read!
Happy Birthday Simon! Your blog has become an indispensable part of my writing day so I wish you all the fun and enjoyment on your birthday that you give all of us every day. Have a good one!
Sadly no cake from OVW this year – but have a slice of the virtual one – much better for the figure!
Not sure I could live up to last year’s standard anyway (but then last year’s was a Very Special Birthday!)
Have a great day. Mum
Happy Birthday, Simon! (Many happy returns to Carbon Copy too, and what a wonderful cake that was).
….Lovely cake. I would like to have the recipe if possible. If you go to my website you will see why…..thirdworldaid.org.uk,
It took me far to long to work it out, but I got there in the end, so happy birthday!
Happy happy birthday. I love visiting your blog, I love the review you wrote of Speaking of Love and may your blog and you have many many many happy returns.
Have a very Happy Birthday Simon! That cake is *fantastic*!
De-lurking to wish you a happy birthday and to say I read SiaB every day and so enjoy your writing and recommendations. Cheers!
Many happy returns, in duplicate.
The Very Best of Wishes to you on your birthday, Simon!! And to CC too of course. Wowzeeees, to OVW for that cake last year – way beyond anything ever attempted in this household.
I can’t believe you’ve said such nasty things about me, and on my birthday too. Honestly, my name really is ‘Anonymous’ – it was a cruel joke by my mother. Why must you taunt me?
Have a great birthday, kid.
Happy Birthday! What a fantastic cake!
Happy Birthday, Simon. I hope you have a wonderful day. Will Miss Hargreaves be with you?? Carole.
Happy Birthday Simon! I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
