Betsy Blues

Having missed the tea planned by our friends for Betsy's birthday yesterday, we went over this morning for tea and their lovely home made birthday cake. Betsy was made a fuss of; they know her very well and made her a cake with a stars and planets theme and the children and made her a card with a football drawing on the front. They bought her a Miranda DVD - another hit - and she was all bashful and thrilled.

We had our usual Saturday Morning Pictures - Ghostbusters. Al didn't like it much but Betsy said she did. I love that film.

'I love to read. Do you have any hobbies?'
'I collect spores and fungus'.

Chris took the children swimming and I started (but did not finish) decorating Betsy's birthday cake. She requested a chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream filling and a surprise decoration. I chose The Blues Brothers - Betsy's current second favourite film. Here you can see Jake, Elwood and Betsy Blues, ready to go on the top of the blue icing.
