I mentioned earlier this week that it was my grandsons birthday and tomorrow is his party. I raised my eyebrows as that is Sunday and forgot Monday is a public holiday. He has invited everyone from his school which is only about 20 people and I have been told most of them are coming and have replied to his invitations.
My daughter has been busy baking and constructing his cake today for tomorrows party and think she has done a great job. There is not much else you could have done for a construction/gold mining theme and he will be happy with the end result.
Most parents don't have the time these days to create something special and tens to choose the route of buying a cake. Next month it is my grand daughters birthday and there will be another cake created just for her special day.
The theme is construction/mining which my grandson loves and follows gold mining programs on television. Today it was compulsory for us to watch two episodes as we have loads to catch up. I have not told him the one series has 16 seasons and not being roped into watching all of those.
The cake is chocolate and has a home made cherry jam so it is similar to a Black Forest without the fresh cream. This was not planned as I never had the final say on what type of cake this was going to be even though Black Forest is a good choice being one of my favorites.
My grandson prefers playing out in the garden away from the video games so I tend to encourage this and his presents are going to reflect this outdoor theme. This week we had some curved balls at the office with things I cannot really discuss for legal reasons and his actual birthday was a bust with his mum and granny only arriving back home after 10 pm.
We have has 10 weeks of hell and who knows when it will end and we will just keep on fighting as what has and is taken place is highly illegal. When you live in a corrupt country you expect the worst and hope for the best. We will be fine as long as I do not assault someone in the process and one of the reasons I have been told to stay away for the time being. I am not violent by nature, but place my family in a position and I am capable of anything. I will discuss this once this is over so it may be a while yet.
My grandson kind of understood this was not by choice and he opened his present on facetime so at least he could play with his remote control car. Here he is in the evening between rain showers taking his car for a spin. I will get some more photos later over the weekend or early next week as his car is quite impressive and is far quicker and more powerful than I had anticipated.
Tomorrow should be fun and the party will make up for the disappointment of Tuesday which is a relief for his mum and granny.
