Well, not literally today but we'll get a good one going soon.
We have begun preparations for the arrival of Shouty Boy for his first visit to the flat on Saturday. He's been on at us for months to invite him for tea. Now that we are a little more settled the time has come.
I've got some steam train DVDs and a programme recorded on a train journey in Switzerland, where they went on holiday in the summer. However for him the highlight will be the chance to use their new train set for the first time.
We've been lucky that both boys have loved trains since they were very little. They don't care if its steam or diesel. They like to watch them, travel on them or play with them. They don't mind where they go to, if its only to Crapital City, they love it.
So we've begun clearing the boxes from the living room and, when I get home on Thursday, we'll start moving things around to get more space. I was going to wait until I'd received the baseboard from my friend at work but I don't think either Troublesome Truck could wait that long.
When I spoke to him on Sunday night he told his mother that he had to take his bag as he was staying over. Thankfully we got this confusion cleared up before he got to disappointed, or FW had a heart attack. Maybe when we've got the new sofa bed and settee we'll think about accomodating them.
