A toast to The Professor
3rd January, is the birthday of J.R.R. Tolkien. He was born 119 years ago on 3rd January 1892 in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The Tolkien Society suggest that at 9pm in your local time you raise a glass and celebrate his life and work with a toast to “The Professor”.

As always: To the professor! 🙂
I’ve just had my toast: grapefruit juice and all my love. 😀
I usually forget about Tolkien’s birthday until 4th January, only to realize I just missed it… This year I finally remembered it the right day 🙂
To The Professor!
Indeed.. To The Professor!!
*Raises her glass* To the professor! I thank him for creating the wonderful world that he did! 🙂

I don’t think I’ve ever remembered to do this before. Shame on me.
Yup, I did that, but because I have a bad case of Insomnia lately, and sleep rather late, My hubby and I toasted”The Professor” at 12:30 AM
Has anybody else done this?
Cheers! May his work live on for many years to come!
*raises her glass of, umm, juice! yes, that’s it* To the professor.
I gotta say that I saw this at 00:00 hours and I forgot to toast at 9 pm. So I did this the next day. What a shame!
Happy belated birthday! XD
