Spring in Suffolk - but not as you know it.

Creative Clara has got into a "thing", it's probably not a great thing either as it plays to Hormonal Hannah's tendencies; but anyway, her "thing" is to start writing her novel, when Baggy should be going to bed! She'll start at about 10.00pm, then still be up writing (or just thinking about writing) at gone midnight. Hannah has got a bit better with the whole "going to bed" thing - she is no longer scared and freaking out about it, but still, Clever Bird can't help but wonder if this is a diversionary tactic on her part. She did however read though, that some author's best ideas come to them when they are in that dream-world between wake and sleep, so let's hope that that is the case. Baggy is beginning to understand why it can take years to write a novel! It's really not that easy - says she like that is some kind of revelation. But she is enjoying the process and will persevere - there is only one way to find out if Creative Clara is capable of writing a novel after all and that is for her to do it.

Baggy did at least manage to wake up this morning, even after Clara burning the midnight oil. Furry Mama took the ever more keen Minty Mutt out for his walk. It didn't start well. She was horrified to spot an injured or possibly dead black cat by the side of the road. She walked over to check on it with some trepidation, only for Grotty Groom to point out that it was a pile of horse poo. Time for Baggy to get her eyes checked again perhaps?

As they walked around a massive field Baggy heard police sirens going, she thought the wind must be carrying the noise across from the nearby A-road, only for the sound to change into a very pretty song and then back to sirens again! Clearly the Sky Lark is living too close to the road and thinks that that will be a good tune for him to get his wife-bird. Spring has sprung in mysterious ways in Suffolk!

Home for The Domestic Goddess to fight the house. Unfortunately she lost the fight with the pesky vacuum cleaner whose hose refused to disconnect so that she could change it into an "upright" one and get round all the edges and bits, but at least she tried. She blames Baggy's arm which is unfair as Baggy tried hard.

Now Creative Clara is having her time, because it's too nice to be indoors, so she dragged Baggy to the summer house to write her blog and check the world that is Twitterverse. She was rather taken aback to realise that Baggy now has 204 followers on Twitter!!!!!!!!! Nearly all authors, publishers and the like, so she is rather flattered as well as surprised. Clara had also written a new journal entry for her www.channillo.com journal series yesterday which she tweeted about. Not only has a published author retweeted it (or tweet-tweeted it) as Clara prefers to say, but it must have been read because it is all about Psychic Ploppo and one of Baggy's new followers today is a psychic site..........
