Before our Wombat began the weekly delight that is #SundayPix, in the days of Twitter yore, we had the occasional themed photo challenge from @Origami_Owl (Paul Groom).
Look closely at the contributors to find a familiar name (indeed, a few!).
A selection of books standing up on a bookshelf, all written by Michael Wombat: The Complete Madame Monvoisin's Emporium of Extraordinary Adventures in hardback, and Volume 1 & 2 in paperback, Warren Peace, Blood on the Ground, Mrs Stockley's Parrot, Mythily, Johanna & Sebastian's Big Day Out, Rollie, Moth Girl & A Winkle in Estuary Mud.
Here's a selection of @wombat37.bsky.social paperbacks - I have the completed & separate copies of Madame Monvoisin's Emporium of Extraordinary Adventures, b/c that's me on the cover.😊 If you have to name just one fav story, I'd say Mythily.

A white mug with an old bookcover of mine printed on it (Pool of Players by Miranda Kate). The handle & inside of my mug is light green.
I received this unexpectedly in the post. It's a mug showing the cover of one my books (it actually has a different cover now). This is the kind of lovely thing @wombat37.bsky.social does.

Nothing makes me feel happier than thinking of times spent with people I love and who love me, & I certainly love you dear Wombat. Here we are from the Beatles tour we went on together, seeing all the Liverpool sights and singing Beatles songs!

The front cover of The Raven's Wing by Wombat.
This is a splendid book and you should all buy it and read it. #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat37
And, appropriately for his birthday, some of the many gifts I’ve received thanks to his wonderful stewardship of Twanta over the years. Happy birthday, Michael, with all my love! #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombie
A photo of me doing a Travolta disco pose and wearing a strapless ball dress ( I was 19). Wombat has photoshopped me onto a pick of him standing by the sea so I am picking his nose.
How clever he is at photoshop. #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombat37

My first TweetUp at the YSP in 2014 I think. I was so nervous meeting people who I’d only ever interacted with virtually, but Wombat really does attract such a wonderful crowd of people, the occasion and the people were such a delight. THANK YOU

Wombat, Alex, and I in Nottingham back in 2015. Wombie is a gorgeous man! Considered, and thoughtful, but also the life of the party. He is also a logophile, sesquipedalian, wordsmith, and beautifully erudite. It's an honour to write with him! 💙

Four hands all pointing inwards like a compass, all wearing shades of teal or peacock blue nail polish.
Several of us found we were wearing the same colour nail polish that writer's day in Nottingham, including @wombat37.bsky.social Peacock blue!

When we met up way back in 2015 to talk words and books! That's me, @purplequeenpub.bsky.social and @wombat37.bsky.social in the front row, and my oldest, Rayn, behind me with the antlers!

A bearded man in sunglasses anda navy blue wool ha that is high up on his head.
A man in a grey a hooded coat, with the hood pulled up over his head, and the front of the coat zipped up over his mouth and noise, so you can see his glasses-covered eyes, and the front of a green and cream wool hat.
Four identical pictures of a bearded man in a fur hat. In each picture the fur hat is a different colour - black, brown, blond and ginger.
A man of many hats.

Happy Birthday, Mr Wombat.
The weather today is dramatic, which is very kind of it and Mrs Dog and I came up to the wind farm to waddle around and get the best wind turbine pic we could get.

We met up on a #SundayPix that involved taking your teddy out and about. So here is #SundayPixWombie and my ancient Loppy Lugs enjoying a beer.

Sadly I don't have pictures of Wombats but I recall that you particularly liked these photos @wombat37.bsky.social when I posted them a while back so hope they give you cheer today.
Happy birthday & have the best day you possibly can, good man🥳
