Time for a leadership change

It's not surprising, that in these times of such great fear and uncertainty, people are wondering whether the right people are in charge. Clever Bird has certainly been wondering who should be in charge, and she's come to the conclusion that for now at least, there absolutely must be a change of leadership. She has decided (rather controversially), to put The Domestic Goddess in charge of the gang. Yes Baggees, even Baggy was a little surprised by this decision, but to be fair, The Goddess has recently begun to live up to her proper name, minus her middle names of "not a". Aside from becoming a half-decent cook, she's started to sort out the house.

Baggy is on Day 3 of her voluntary self-isolation. Now this really isn't as hard as it is for many of you, as Baggy is used to spending the majority of her time on her own in her house. Only this is different. It's one thing being on her own in the house, knowing that when one of the gang want to go out they can; but when they can't, well that's quite hard! Not surprisingly, Hormonal Hannah is finding it particularly difficult, as she can't get her beach-fix, so she needs to be kept busy, and The Domestic Goddess is fulfilling that duty. Having spent seven hours re-organising and cleaning her kitchen on Friday, today she decided to do the same for Billy Bob Jalopy campervan!

It took hours! But as Baggy's new healthy-living regime means that she's sleeping better, she was up at 6.00am, and Furry Mama was back from her Pooch walk by 7.30, so she has considerably more hours in her day!

Billy Bob was rinsed down, washed, dried with a chamois-leather, waxed-on - waxed-off  and photographed in his new sparkliness, before The Goddess tackled the inside. As he's Baggy's everyday drive, and therefore has been to the beach daily (and not cleaned), for weeks, this was a challenge!

Right half of carpet already vacuumed; left half, yet to be started: sand, sand, pebbles and more sand! Baggy is ashamed to admit that the whole van was like this! However, apart from the fact that it desperately needed doing, Clever Bird has decided that Billy Bob is the perfect full isolation unit! 

This might sound a tad extreme, but Clever Bird is following the news closely, and it's all well-and-good Baggy trying to stay isolated, but number one furry is out in the thick of it all, working up-and-down the country. Should the worst happen, and he contract Covid-19, then Billy Bob would be the perfect place for Baggy and Pepper Pooch to sleep while Calum recovered in the warmth of the house. So, as well as cleaning him, The Goddess made his bed up and he's ready to move into should the need arise.

The Pooch approves.

Other self-isolation tasks achieved so far, to keep Hormonal Hannah and Freda Fretter from having meltdowns:

• Freezer fully defrosted (The Goddess).

• Bug pile made (Gloria Gardener).
• Garden watered (Gloria Gardener).

• Huge critter pile made (Gloria Gardener), with some added art (Creative Clara).

• Butternut squash, and spicy beef soups made for lunches (The Goddess).
• Route to the fridge/freezer in the garage cleared (number one furry).
• Pond cleaned and refilled, water pump cleaned (Gloria Gardener).

There are distinct advantages to having a house that's still a major work-in-progress; it's not a question of what to do to keep occupied; it's more what to do first to keep occupied!

Stay safe; stay inside Baggees...
