Day 82 - There are two new gang members today.

Baggy slept pretty well last night, although Hormonal Hannah had her worrying about going to bed again, so she didn't actually go up until 1.30am. The wine probably helped her sleep. The rich food on the other hand. Not so great! Serves you right Baggy. Let's just say that half-an-hour of "contemplation" in the bathroom at 5.00am was a nuisance. She then lay in bed for another half-an-hour with her stomach doing Mount Vesuvius impersonations; Bracket insisting on getting in bed with Furry Mama and purring in her ear; and constant traffic noise! Yes Baggy does live on a tiny, single-track, country, back lane, but there's currently a road closure on the main road and everyone is diverting up Baggy's lane. Minty Mutt was not happy. Not that the occasional "woof" woke Calum from his snoring! Baggy still managed to get up at 9.30am though. Tired. But up. Mind you, it is now nearly 12.30pm and she is yet to get dressed. Side-tracked by Creative Clara again. But also by a really lovely surprise!

Meet Mini-Baggy and Mini-Minty Mutt.

 
 
They arrived snuggled up comfortably in a parcel this morning. Mini-Baggy has been lovingly made by one of Baggy's lovely friends, Lettra. She has a hand-knitted hippy jumper. Very smart brown jodphurs. Little black riding boots. And LOTS of hair. And of course her own Mini-Minty Mutt. Baggy absolutely loves them and is extremely touched that someone should go to so much trouble to cheer her up. The Minis are settling in very well already and have already made friends with Minty Mutt. Although Furry Mama did have to explain to Minty that the Minis are hers and not his! (You can probably tell from his expression that he didn't think that this was very reasonable). The new Minis are looking forward to starting their adventures with Baggy and the rest of the gang........
