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): 2.
Tears: No.
Overall day: Active.
Baggy and Calum's friend Dan arrived last night and instantly started to wind up the pooch. Sigh! But Pepper was delighted to meet him so he was happy to oblige! Of course today he's been a bit of a nightmare. Furry Mama despairs! All that training and working on calming him and one night of winding him up and would he even sit? No! Clever Bird had to get "firm". Not with Pepper you understand baggetts - no, with Dan!
Creative Clara woke up to an order from her Etsy shop Realuv this morning. She was very chuffed even though it was only for a few pounds. She wrapped it and took it to the post office in town. It was so cold today. Beautiful. But cold. They wandered round town and every shop they went in, Pepper was given a treat, so he was happy enough. He also modelled for the above photograph in the Black Dog Antique Centre in Halesworth Market Place. He was actually smiling, but he does look a little like the infamous Black Dog of Bungay, Suffolk! Then they popped back into the vintage centre where Clara enquired about a space last week. The owner was in today. Pepper got yet another treat while Clara had a chat. "Just wondering after my enquiry last week, whether you had any space at the moment?"
"Space, or a cabinet?"
"Well a cabinet would be fine".
"In that case yes I do. I've just got two new cabinets. You could have one at the end of the month."
"Ooooooo, that would be great!"
"Actually, that's next Friday".
Clara is thrilled! Okay, it's only a cabinet, not a big space as at the other place, but that means it's a fifth of the price; Baggy doesn't have to fork out for display units and she doesn't have to work there (for free) once a week. Also because it's just a cabinet, albeit with quite a lot of room in it, she can regularly change the stock depending on what sells. So it's much less of a risk and therefore much less scary for Freda Fretter. But equally if it goes well, she might be able to upgrade to a "space".
So Wednesday will be set up day! Saturday is the next Brocante. Clara is growing her little business.
The rest of the day they spent pootling around town. Lunch in a café. Pepper decided that he'd sit on the bench at the table next to Furry Mama! A walk and ball throwing session round the park. Pepper decided that he needed to go in the stinky, muddy, cow-pat filled ditch!
Lovely! Not!
Would he go into the relatively clean river? No. He had a lovely time though.
Cappuccino with another friend. A wander past some "Molly Dancers" - think weirdly dressed Morris Dancers banging drums and with bells on their legs. Pepper nearly passed out in fear! It's all very well telling Furry Mama to ignore it, but when the pooch is twisting in fear and almost coming out of his collar while trying to get away, that's not exactly easy!! Quick pint in the pub (while the pooch slept under the table), before going to watch the Christmas lights being switched on at 5.00. As they headed back to the market square Clever Bird said, "Oh, we've missed it", as all the trees were lit up and the hanging lights were on. But no, they hadn't missed it. The "switch on" was on the high street. Off they set. The only lights that weren't already on were some coloured bulbs strung across the streets!! Meanwhile there were crowds everywhere, Pepper was not happy. They went into a shop. Pepper relaxed. They missed the "switch on". No one cared. They went back on the street. A brass band appeared. Furry Mama was dragged away from it by a totally petrified pooch! Furry Mama decided that it was time to go home. Calum is cooking supper while Pepper relaxes. Dan has been banned from winding Pepper up............
