Distinct lack of motivation in the Baggy household at the moment.

Gloria Gardener is rather upset that all her pink hyacinths have snapped off. Their heads are so big that they must just be top heavy. As a result they are now in the house as The Domestic Goddess has put them in one of Archaeologist Annie's art deco vases. The room now smells wonderful. Baggy is struggling to get the gang motivated at the moment. It's so cold again. The fire is going (rather pathetically truth be told) although Clara wants to say it's blazing. But not much is getting done. Baggy has been to town to get a few things sorted including a visit to the library. She wasn't actually sure that her library card would even work as she has never withdrawn a book before but it did. So she's now armed with the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2015 to try to figure out what if anything to do with her novel, if and when she finishes it. Typing up her scribbles to date is proving to be very slow. It's made Clever Bird realise  just how long the other book that Creative Clara wrote a while ago actually is! Perhaps she should let someone read that one. Anyway, in the meantime, all the things the gang should be doing are not getting done.

Lack of motivation combined with lack of energy are causing havoc with Baggy. Mind you what kind of normal person is motivated to do housework? The Domestic Goddess certainly is not. She does however have the technician coming tomorrow to fix the chair that has had no legs since it was delivered three weeks ago. Clever Bird just hopes that they do fix it as the only people who can sit on it at the moment are the Minis and Hinge and Bracket.


But she really does need to try to reclaim some of the sitting room before he comes as it's looking a total mess again! But Creative Clara is the only one who fancies doing anything, so she keeps side-tracking everyone else. Bracket is obviously feeling neglected as wherever Furry Mama sits, she follows. She is currently nestled next to Baggy on the sofa having relocated from the dining table where Clara had been typing her novel. No she should not be on the dining table (Calum would have a fit) but she looked so cute lying on top of Clara's notebook. If Baggy removes this laptop from her lap, Bracket will be on it in a flash! Bless her. Minty Mutt is fast asleep having taken Furry Mama on another marathon-walk this morning. Baggy wishes she was too. No idea why she is so tired but she is. The really annoying thing is that the chair technician chap will be coming when Baggy is supposed to be at Fat Club - why does that always happen? It might be doing Baggy a favour though if she can't go, as if she hasn't put weight on this week it will be a miracle..........
