Snowed in.

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): Blue.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 3.
Tears: Yes - from the cold.
Pancakes (Yes/No): Weeellllll!

Weight in her terrifying naked state (Stones and pounds): Oh poop?
Overall days: Very pretty.



The only real feature of Baggy's week this week, has been the weather. The Brits always talk about the weather, it's their thing, but this week they really didn't have much else to talk about. As for large parts of Europe, the weather took over, and it hasn't quite finished its antics yet. It's been fun for many, but it's important to remember that it's been hard for many too. It hasn't been too awful in Suffolk, just extremely cold. But Clever Bird wouldn't let Baggy drive anywhere, as getting out of the house was a challenge.



So Furry Mama and the pooch have been braving it, just long enough to burn some energy off - the pooch that is, not Baggy. Baggy just threw the ball and attempted not to get hypothermia. (Having had it once, she doesn't fancy a repeat!)


The first day, one jumper was enough for the pooch. He loved it - once he'd decided it wasn't too dangerous. He did keep losing his ball though.

The cats on the other hand have not been quite so convinced! Bracket decided that one paw in the stuff was more than enough, before shaking the snow off and retreating back inside!



One small step for catkind, was one too many!

But it is all beautiful.













It got colder! Minus lots of degrees as the winds picked up, so extra layers were required!






Baggy by now was wearing three layers on bottom, six layers on top!! So the pooch wore his coat over his jumper. More ball losing, but at least Fred Fretter could see the pooch.


And today it got even colder! A plumber is currently fixing a burst pipe and a frozen toilet in Baggy's house! While number one furry, the wannabee-ice-road-trucker, is wending his way home from a very interesting week's driving. He has literally been from Scotland, to Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Cumbria, Wiltshire and London, with various backward and forwards twiddles in between!! And he's just been and bought ten large bags of carrots for the yard horses, which he'll deliver on the way home! Bless!

Baggy even had thermal long johns on today! Everything is drifting.





Clever Bird had this mad plan to go up into the gale and get the full experience!


Well, that was dumb! Typical Clever Bird plan - a little bit of Siberia!


And its drifting fairly dramatically into Gloria Gardener's territory.








Freda was slightly concerned about the footsteps heading into Gloria's garden!


So, one way and another it's been quite a week. Today is day five, there may be a day six, then it is supposed to melt! Gloria will probably be back out gardening next week in the sunshine, with just one thin top on. And that is why the Brits spend so much time discussing the weather...........
