(Secret) guest post from Mr PB

What I'm aiming for
This is a either a very brave or stupid thing to do and I am sure to find out pretty quickly in six hours time when Jane opens her blog but here we go...

" An impromptu uninvited guest post from Mr PB". I am hoping it may be viewed as thoughtful by Mrs PB.

Dear Planetarians, tomorrow August 30th is our darling Jane's birthday and I am hoping you can give her a few welcome birthday blogging surprises and well wishes.

This request is entirely to help me out as I am disorganised and the meringue I just baked has failed and has come out of the oven at midnight impersonating a flat pancake. So in short, if she and the pixies are relying on me for surprises tomorrow, then at this late stage, they are looking in short supply.

Also, if you are a local Hobartian and friend of Jane, please consider calling in during the day as there will be chocolate and pistachio birthday cake on offer - 10 minutes left in the oven to cook...and maybe a meringue trifle!

Thanks in advance.

Mr PB

  1. Oh Mr PB, YOU are a hero!
    Can you please get in touch with my husband and give him some tips??
    I live about as far away from Hobart as you could get (Belgium), but I will be sure to get as many messages to Jane as I can.
    I am bitterly disappointed to miss out on your cakes. They sound divine.
    Love your work.

  8. Well, Mr PB you did good with this post! Jane will really like this, I'm sure of it. As for the cake, I did it once with help, it's not an easy thing to make but at least you did it right? I will send her an email, you all enjoy the day, even though it will be a bit hard for her, hugs for all of you,

  43. Happy Happy birthday to you Jane! Wish I was in Tassie too as I would've been there for sure! Please tell Mr PB I can certainly relate to his baking disasters late into the night before. I've had too many to count! It really is the thought that counts though and he seems like the most thoughtful husband ever!

  51. Oh, wow!

    First off, thanks, my gorgeous husband for slipping this one under the radar ☺. I only discovered this post at about 2 pm on my birthday when Sam was asleep and Miss India had stopped talking for her only 5 minutes in the whole day!

    And thanks everyone for your utter kindness and gorgeous wishes. I am completely floored by your responses and wish you were all Hobartians, too! J x
