Clever Bird has realised that Creative Clara probably needs to give a bit of a catch-up on Baggy's last few weeks. Firstly, thanks to Hormonal Hannah and Freda Fretter, Baggy has been in a sulk since she last blogged in early December. Being "blocked" kind of threw her, and Hannah and Freda put her into a mini-meltdown over it! Unfortunately, they also were partially the cause of Baggy beginning to slip back into depression. The "block" not only really hurt and upset Baggy, but it also enabled Hormonal Hannah to do the whole, "Well, you know you're not good enough to blog"- thing. And despite lots of friends and family who know Baggy personally, ensuring her that they enjoy the blog and didn't want her to stop, Hannah won the argument. No blog. Barely any Facebook. A very hurt Baggy sulked.
The extra couple of hours Baggy acquired a day with Creative Clara not needing to blog, was useful! It gave the Domestic Goddess extra time to "move". Baggy, Furry Mama and all four furries, moved to the "other" house, their now home, two weeks before Christmas. Number one and two furries settled instantly, as both Calum and Minty Mutt had been backwards and forwards, staying there at weekends, for weeks. Numbers three and four furries, well, Bracket kat hid under the bed for four days, while Hinge cat threw herself on her back and purred a lot. Six weeks on they're both very happy but have not yet been allowed out, as Furry Mama needs them 100% settled, before she risks it. Mind you, so far they have shown no inclination to go outside anyway, which makes Freda Fretter very happy.
Christmas was lovely, just Baggy plus furries. Plus THREE Christmas trees, because Creative Clara got so excited that she couldn't help herself. The counselling turned Baggy from a "bah-humbug" to an excited kid, from hating Christmas to loving it - especially when she saw her Christmas present - a bicycle!
For the last few weeks, The Domestic Goddess has been unpacking boxes and finding homes for everything (and no bloggees, she hasn't succeeded). Gloria Gardener has started on the garden that's not been touched for four years. She did have all the really heavy cutting and lopping done by a friend first though, as Baggy might be 98% fit again now, but she is getting on a bit! Furry Mama and Minty Mutt have been discovering the local walks.
Sadly Hormonal Hannah has been a pain and after Christmas the black cloud got rather dark over Baggy. But she's been keeping really busy, which helps.
So the last piece of the jigsaw is to move the horses. That bloggees is happening tomorrow! Wesley and Joey are being collected at 9.00am and moving to their new home. Grotty Groom will be very happy to have them nearby once again. So today, Grotty and Calum have spent pretty much all day packing up the final bits - yeah right - the "bits" filled the entire buck of Dodgy truck!! Amidst the chaos Calum asked Grotty if she'd remembered the Boys' passports. Nope! Clever Bird had put them by Baggy's handbag so that Hormonal Hannah wouldn't let her forget them. Now, if Clever Bird, really were a Clever Bird, she would have put them in Baggy's handbag. The passports are still at home, a seventy-five minute drive away. Sigh! It is illegal to travel horses in the UK without their passports. Number one furry is currently making the round trip to fetch said passports..........
