Depression: Hovering.
Anxiety: Yep, it's there.
Tears: Uh huh.
Laughs: Yes thanks.
Never let it be said that Baggy takes herself too seriously - no photo-shopping was undertaken by Creative Clara in the creation of this stunning selfie. No really Baggees, thank you, but it wasn't - Baggy is just naturally - actually, you're right, let's not go there - but in her defence she had let Gloria Gardener do lots of work on a very hot and humid day! And this is Hormonal Hannah's happy corner where she can sit in a cool breeze and relax. She's needed to this week, as for no apparent reason, albeit not as bad as last week, her anxiety has been about again.
Mind you, the woman is an idiot! On Monday, Creative Clara had to post a little vintage tin off so Baggy took her into town. Obviously her shadow was with her, and when he spotted the park, he started woofing in excitement. Furry Mama had intended taking Pepper Pooch to the beach, but he seemed so keen to go to the park that she decided to let him. It wasn't a particularly hot day, and there is a river and a canal, so Clever Bird knew that she could keep the pooch cool - if smelly. They had a pleasant walk, and Pepper, as always, chased his ball. As they headed back to Billy Bob Jalopy campervan, Furry Mama wondered if the pooch was limping. When they got home, she realised that he was! Badly. On checking his back paws, she realised that they were raw. Seriously, for a Clever Bird, Baggy can be really dumb! Running and 'braking' hard on the concrete paths resulted in this happening once before, but the stupid woman had forgotten that.
Furry Mama felt like the worst kind of mother as she put an antiseptic cream on the raw pads, and bandaged Pepper's foot. She can only presume that it's his allergies that cause him to have such soft pads. So for the next four days, neither Baggy or the pooch left the house, as they waited for his paw to heal a little. It looks as if Baggy will be investing in some doggy boots.
Naturally, being stuck in the house and feeling guilty that she'd hurt her beloved pooch, put Hormonal Hannah into a bit of a downward spiral, but at least Gloria Gardener and The Domestic Goddess got some work done. On Friday, Furry Mama decided to take Pepper to the beach for a swim. She set off, only to realise that it was the first day of the Latitude festival, and the road would be a car park, so Baggy did a quick back road detour to Walberswick.
Hannah and the pooch both felt better for some sea air!
This weekend, Calum and Gloria did a bit more garden improvement! This bank is constantly walked on by kids and pooed on by dogs, and it's annoying! So, it's gone from this:
To this:
Now Gloria just needs to keep it alive.
This afternoon, even Grotty Groom came out to play!! She is determined to start riding Wessles again (although Baggy's weight has gone in the wrong direction, thanks to Hannah's comfort-eating!!). But she's been persuaded that getting straight on Wesley, when she is so unfit would be a suicide mission, so plan A is back in action: ride Joey to get used to riding again after 54-months of not riding, and bring Wesley back into work slowly, in-hand. Both horses went into the indoor school, and put not a hoof wrong - Bless them! They were rewarded with a quick cold shower and an apple each, before going back out to snooze in their paddocks....
