A birthday, grandchildren staying and some music.

Tonight I have three grandchildren staying, their mothers are out celebrating the youngest birthday. My youngest daughter is 29 tomorrow, oh how old that makes me feel. Her cake has a picture of Bertha her horse on it. Before they went out I made cheese pasta with lashings of cheese and fresh basil with a side dish of potato salad made from freshly dug potatoes  served with fresh mint and chives.
I've just bedded the younger two and I'm sat here watching my all time favourite movie, 'Avatar' with my eldest grandson, he's almost 11. I couldn't decide on my music choice tonight and on a whim, I asked him. This, apparently, is the music of choice for my almost 11 yr old grandson. It seems to fit the mood of the moment.

    My oldest is twenty-eight this year. That still makes you feel old.

    I like the slow mo effects and the tune is catchy.

    Maybe I'm strange, but I rather like your grandson's taste in music. Lovely cake too.

    Great cake is the horse pic edible?

    This could be the origin of the phrase 'I'm so hungry I could eat a horse' perhaps?

    yep the horse is edible, the woman who makes the cakes has a special cake printer, it prints photographs onto sheets of iceingh and uses edible ink. I took the photo, its Jackies horse Bertha
