More big ticks.

Note to readers (my lovely Baggees): For the avoidance of any doubt - every character in this blog is me!!! No Baggy was harmed in its writing.


Baggy's daily state! Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Yellow.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 1.
Tears: No.
Pancakes (Yes/No): Anyone care?
Syns (Baggy is allowed 8-15): Heh ho.
Weight in her terrifying naked state (Stones and pounds): Scales are hidden!
Overall day:  😕

Today was to be a day of rest Clever Bird had decreed. She reckoned number one furry and Baggy deserved a day off. But Minty Mutt still deserved his walk, so Furry Mama took him round the gravel pits. Then of course, all the stuff that was loaded onto Dodgy Truck from Calum's trailer yesterday, needed to be unloaded and put away. This was a huge task! The Domestic Goddess threatened unpleasant things to number one, if he dared to mess the garage up again, which of course made it an even bigger task, because a) he needed to sort through everything and b) a lot of it had to be taken up to the man-shed. Baggy had the delightful job of running up and down the garden steps transporting bits to the shed.


Creative Clara asked Calum to retrieve both the trestle tables so that she could check them out for her first Realuv vintage fair, which is getting rather close now! They were both in need of a good wipe down, but other than that they'll be perfect. So while Calum sorted through all his things, Clara started to try and work out what stock she will take to the fair and how to display it.


Neither task was easy. As she can't yet justify spending money on display stands and shelves, it's not easy making an attractive display, but after some faffing about, she thinks she's getting somewhere with it. Now of course she has to price everything up (which she started today), then pack it all safely for transporting. Freda Fretter is beginning to wonder whether Clara has bitten off more than she can chew! But she's determined to make a go of it.


And she'll have Baggy's sister to help her sell things and Calum to act as salesman and security guard!




Not exactly a day of rest then, but a constructive one again. Sadly it meant that the intention of Grotty Groom and Cal riding their Boys went by the wayside again, but they did at least go over and give them both a cuddle in their paddocks this evening - oh and a couple of huge carrots each. But the list continues to shrink...............
