Day 59 - Baggy is a total disaster!

Baggy started her day with a lie in. She thought until 9.00am. Only for Clever Bird to look at the clock properly and realise that it was 11.00am. It was so dark though! Furry Mama persuaded Baggy to take Minty out. She did the "wetlands" walk again. Having omitted to factor in the torrential rain that occurred for most of last night. Even the road was a river. Within ten minutes Baggy's feet were soaked through her split boots.

 

The fact that it was cold and absolutely soaking today did not stop Minty Mutt from needing a drink en-route. Ignoring all the convenient puddles, he shot down into the little stream. Freda Fretter had a bit of a worry, thinking that he might not be able to get back out. There was no way that Baggy was getting in to get him. Prior to Baggy's sister re-launching Minty's inner puppy, there is no way he would have made it out. But today.

 



 

When we reached the stile however, it was a different story. We tackled it from the opposite side today. It's higher. Mint got stuck. Baggy had to lift him over. Ouch! Clever Bird reckons he used up all his energy getting out of the stream.

 

Once home, Baggy needed to go into town again. As she's driving, this wasn't an issue. Just as she arrived at the car park, the Heavens opened. It absolutely poured down. Proper torrential rain. Bouncing back up off the car park. So Clever Bird got Baggy to sit in the car until it reduced itself to a gentle drizzle. She set off to the shops. As she walked across the car park, her right boot suddenly slipped forward from under her. In seeming slow motion, just like one of those "comedy" banana-skin skids, Baggy suddenly found her feet above her head, and she landed (hard) on her bottom. Fortunately the car driver who was coming round the corner was paying attention and stopped before running Baggy over. The very lovely driver got out to check on Baggy and offer her a lift home. Baggy said she was okay. Just shocked. She made it as far as a bench, before Hormonal Hannah caught up with her. Meltdown. Just as well it was raining to hide the tears.

 

Baggy then needed to go to another town. Once she got there she decided that it was high time that the split boots were replaced. Clever Bird treated Grotty and Furry Mama to some very nice waterproof boots, that are nice enough to also wear around town. She did (she left them on). Another fall was not needed. By now Baggy's stomach and arm were extremely painful. Cue nice stuffed croissant for lunch with two cappuccinos and a huge bit of Victoria sponge. Ah well. The Slimming World weigh in is not until tomorrow. Grotty went for a cuddle with her Boys on the way home. Joey totally ignored her, until she produced a treat. Wesley would not stop head-butting her over the stable door. He clearly is missing her a lot. Well she misses him too.

 

 

 

So Baggy is now on the wine to numb the pain of Grotty missing her horse and the physical pains of her fall. The bath is running with soothing bubbles in it. Baggy should clearly not be allowed out........
