The "Bags for Life" count is escalating.

As friends, family and regular bloggees will know by now Clever Bird is regularly a little bit of a numpty! Yesterday was no exception, she really should have prevented Gloria Gardener from getting Baggy to lift huge, full, incredibly heavy pots through the house and to the back garden; instead she positively encouraged her. Unsurprisingly this morning Baggy woke up with a humdinger of a headache from her stiff neck. It was threatening to become a migraine, so Furry Mama delayed Minty Mutt's walk.

Clever Bird knows what moths flying out of a wallet is meant to mean, but what about a moth flying out of Baggy's knickers as happened this morning? Actually, on second thoughts, don't answer that bloggees, Hormonal Hannah does have an awful lot to answer for! Oh the delights of the menopause. Another of its delights had to be dealt with today too, Baggy had a visit to the beauticians booked. She wasn't too keen, as driving with her head spinning in pain wasn't too great but needs must. Hormonal Hannah has caused Hairy Biker Hen to be trying a little too hard to do a full impression of a hairy biker. Obviously she has the hair, but she doesn't necessarily literally want the beard and moustache to go with it, so thanks for nothing Hannah. The good news was that having them waxed off was so blooming painful that Baggy's headache went, (well briefly anyway). The poor beautician got sworn at though! Just as well she knows Baggy well.

The Domestic Goddess actually managed to get some food shopping done on the way home as Clever Bird remembered to take money with her. She did however forget the carrier bags, (the carrier bags that Baggy stepped over to open the front door), so the latest count of "bags for life" must currently be approaching sixty! The supermarket lights started to cause the threatened migraine though, so Furry Mama decided to take Minty Mutt out for some fresh air. The torrential rain had stopped by then and it was lovely to see the bluebells are almost fully out.

Minty Mutt was determined to get as wet as he could as usual, but he got slightly more than he bargained for when he jumped in the stream that was three times as deep as normal.

Baggy's headache subsided on the walk and they timed it to perfection, the downpour started again just as they got home. Well it saves Gloria Gardener the job of watering her pots.......
