Preparing to greet Fluffy and Dwarfy

Whilst Vanessa and I continue to feel just a little bit sorry for ourselves (another noisy one again last night), there is thankfully plenty for us - and Jamie - to look forward to in the coming weeks and months.

First up is this Friday when our good friends Louise and Wee John arrive to stay for two and three nights respectively.

Louise (captured above) went to university with Vanessa in Newcastle and, a couple of years later, they shared a flat in London.

On the downside, she's Welsh, has crazy dark hair which gets everywhere and is unbelievably dippy.

But, more positively, she has a heart the size of Australia where she now lives. Coincidentally, her tummy and bum will soon be just as large as yesterday she phoned to say she is expecting her first child.

Whilst this is obviously terrific news for Louise and her partner Tim, it is an untimely development with regard to the weekend ahead as the sight of Louise falling over after three glasses of wine remains one of nature's greatest sights. Indeed, I've always been surprised Sir David Attenborough has never bothered to film it.

Purely by chance, Wee John (pictured right) who has featured on this blog several times before, is also travelling up from Wales. But fortunately he is a Coleraine man and will definitely be on the drink.

Everyone calls him "Wee" John but, in truth, he's much smaller than that. He's tiny, minuscule, barely visible and is sadly destined to just fade away as the years tick by.

They'll both be very welcome and, as I say, it should be a fun few days.
