Beloved and oh so familiar actors, James Elliott, Elisabeth Kirkby, Mike Dorsey, Philippa Baker, Jeff Kevin, Wendy Blacklock and Frances Hargreaves, surround Johnny Lockwood at his recent 90th birthday party, held in the Eva Breuer Gallery, 83 Moncur Street, Woollahra, the infamous building used as "Number 96" in the 70s soap opera.
Look carefully at Johnny's cake: the image in the icing is the front page photo from my website at www.number96.tv! Now that's very, very cool!
I'm a bit late with this "news". Thanks to blogger Tammy Tingles for the heads-up, and to "Woman's Day" (28 July 2010) for covering the celebration! There is a video clip at the "Woman's Day" website.

I wrote about this a month ago... I can just imagine you saying "why wasn't I told?" and I would have said something at the time but I had guessed you were already across it.
Yeah, I managed to miss this coverage. I did a real double-glance at the cake! I still remember the day I sat with two friends designing those yellow numbers and letters on the blue border just so, way back in 1996 when my website launched!
If someone had have said, maybe someone will turn this image into cake icing, I'd have laughed maniacally.
