Clever Bird has concluded that it's probably high time that Creative Clara took certain facts about Baggy's daily life as read! Freda Fretter is conscious that Baggees may be getting a little sick of seeing pictures of Pepper Pooch in 'waiting' mode.
So, it's pretty much guaranteed that Furry Mama will take the pooch out for a walk, and a ball chase, unless Hormonal Hannah is being really difficult and making Baggy feel agoraphobic. And even then, Furry Mama usually gets her way as it's not fair on Pepper to keep him housebound, and actually, once she's out, it even makes Hannah feel better. Especially if they go to a beach. So the chances are that it's also fairly guaranteed that they'll head over to a local beach.
Chances are that in spite of her lack of any kind of motivation, or skill in the role, The Domestic Goddess will attempt to live up to Baggy's role of being a housewife: doing some washing, rustling up some food, possibly flicking a duster about, rarely getting the vacuum cleaner out.
Totally guaranteed is that Creative Clara will be creative. If it's only picking up interesting pebbles and bits of glass and ceramics from the beach; but more likely she'll also make something from those bits. And she'll check her Etsy shop and maybe add some new products. And write.
Nothing else is so predictable. If the horses are in (that is, having a rest in their stables after living out in their paddocks), Grotty Groom will try to get over to see them and give them a cuddle and a groom. She did that today for instance, after having taken the pooch to Dunwich to exhaust him first.
If it's a pleasant enough day to be outside, Gloria Gardener will tackle her challenging garden.
This week has been a little different, as for a few days Baggy's sister came to stay. Calum was at a local bike rally for the weekend, but he came home to spend some time with them for the day on the Saturday, so they all headed over to Dunwich Heath.
Baggy's sister stayed for three days, and Baggy had such a lovely time with her that she totally forgot to get Clara to take any other photos!
Recall Baggees, that Baggy's sister truly is a world class domestic goddess. Her house always looks like a show home, she actually loves cleaning, and she cooks for fun. Rather embarrassingly for Freda Fretter therefore, she comes armed with meals and often cleaning materials. This time, she fed Baggy for three days, but resisted cleaning. This is obviously much appreciated, but does make Freda cringe slightly, that The Domestic Goddess is so slack in her role.
This visit, although Debby somehow stopped herself from cleaning Baggy's house, she did get Hormonal Hannah's back up a bit when she commented on the clutter that covers every surface. Clever Bird realised that the reason that Hannah took offence, is because it's totally true! Baggy and Calum are appalling hoarders, and one of the reasons that The Domestic Goddess has no realistic chance of ever having an immaculate home is because she can't get to half of it, to clean it! But it's the classic thing, when Baggy moved them in, she put all the (excessive) amounts of furniture wherever she could fit them, and there they have stayed ever since. As she is incapable of throwing things away, they then gather on every available surface, and in every corner, acquiring a delicate covering of dust and cobwebs. So, since Debby went home on Sunday morning, The Goddess has been attempting to really become one, and has spent all her time (when Furry and Grotty haven't been in charge), rearranging the sitting/dining room. Twenty hours on and counting, this main space in the house is almost revamped!! Clever Bird is hopeful that The Goddess will have finished it by tomorrow evening. If she does, than Clara will provide some photos! Sadly, as Baggy cannot throw things out, most of the removed clutter is now cluttering two other rooms, but baby steps......
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): 7.
Tears: Thinking of digging a pond in the garden so it can be filled with them.
