Guest blogger coming soon...

"Hehe hehe..."

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of light chuckling and rolled over to see that Charlotte was giggling in her sleep.

Now, dream mumblings are commonplace with Charlotte, and what's particularly amusing is that she actually responds if I talk to her. "I know what I've forgotten," she once exclaimed at me in the wee hours of the morning. "What?" I enquired sleepily. "The bed knife and fork," she informed me, clearly distressed that this specialist cutlery had slipped her mind. On another occasion I was rudely awoken to be informed that "the witch is on the laundry basket". As you can imagine, I slept much better knowing that.

Anyway, last night I asked her,"what's so funny?"

She continued to laugh, a big grin on her face.

I gave her a prod. "What are you laughing at?"

Obviously whatever it was continued to amuse her, but a small amount of further persistance finally produced the answer.

"It's the hag and the spag bol," she said, chuckling away, before telling me to let her sleep.

Of course, come morning she'd no recollection of any of this, but it's given me an idea. Watch this space because very soon a guest blogger will be making an appearance with her first post.
