Day 20 continued - The Domestic Goddess has Kicked Baggy up her Butt.

Okay Freda Fretter get over yourself. Baggy is doing really well, but actually after a friend's message to her, following her last blog, she has also realised that she really is grieving for Lawrence and actually Freda and Clever Bird, that's okay. So the tears and the vulnerability are okay too, but let's not focus on them! Lawrence has gone to a better life. He is now a fig-box of Freda's imagination. He is not back in Baggy. Psychic Ploppo can get back in her crystal tent and stop thinking about it all too much. He is long gone to the world where durmoids live happily ever after, so he cannot be hurting Baggy. Understand Freda?

Baggy's hormones are obviously also out of whack after such a major trauma to her body. Thanks for that menopause. But Clever Bird knows (even if you don't Freda), that Baggy is a strong old bird and so are the rest of the gang; yep even you Freda. So we're going to be okay. Even The Domestic Goddess has just demonstrated her ability to be amazing (even if that's only once a year). Baggy likes to eat liver. It's good for her. But she only ever has it in restaurants (so pretty much never) because what it is and looks like, gives her the heebie-jeebies. There's no two ways about it, Baggy should be a vegetarian morally. But frankly she likes meat and she's not so big on veg. so it's never going to work. In fact she tried it once many years ago. After six weeks her hair was brittle, her nails were breaking off, she had spots and her skin was almost flaking. Apparently you can't survive on cream, pasta and cheese, even if you are popping multi-vitamins, but Clara digresses.  

Well heebie-jeebies or not, tonight The Goddess persuaded Baggy to pick up that liver and cook it. Okay Clever Bird, agreed, Baggy could only use the tips of her fingers and couldn't bare to look at it, but she cooked it nonetheless. And it was delicious.

So if The Goddess can overcome her liver phobia, tomorrow Grotty can get over to see her beloved horse and she can get in that stable and give him a bit of a groom............
