Clever Bird might just be a little bit cuckoo.

Hormonal Hannah is something else! The woman will insist on giving Baggy a devastating "night sweat" at around 5.00 to 6.00am every day. Today Baggy woke at 5.30am, Hannah struck; Baggy was still awake at 7.00am having waved Calum off to work at 6.45am, so she unpeeled herself from the sheets and got up. Yeah, unheard of bloggees. By 8.00am, The Domestic Goddess had done last night's washing up, (well you didn't seriously think she would have done it last night surely?), put a load of washing on, brought yesterday's washing in from the line (Clever Bird repeats, you didn't think she would have done that yesterday did you?), made Baggy some breakfast and vacuumed the kitchen!

Furry Mama had fed everyone and was out with Minty Mutt by 8.05am!!!!!! Clever Bird had made error number one of the day, she decided that as it was once again beautiful, she would get Baggy to wear a summery outfit. BIG mistake. Baggy is really not very keen on May flies, they give her the creeps, Freda Fretter seems to think that they will hurt her somehow (although Clever Bird is pretty sure that they don't bite or sting), but regardless, Baggy does not like them! So why oh why did Clever Bird choose to dress Baggy like a giant yellow flower? She had her own eco-system as she walked along and the blooming things followed and dive-bombed her!

 

Minty Mutt had the right idea, escape them and the heat by hurling yourself in the stream.

 



Baggy did hear her first cuckoo of the year. Then fairly soon afterwards, her second. And, no bloggees, it was NOT Baggy, although Clever Bird might well be a little cuckoo. The bluebells are still in full flower and all the birds were singing their little hearts out. It was good to be out.

Furry Mama put the hose in his leaky paddling pool for him when they got back. It cooled him down and more importantly, got the stinky river mud off him. The Domestic Goddess had a sense of humour failure with Furry Mama though when Minty decided to shake said water off, not in the garden, no, in the middle of the sitting room. Gloria Gardener then persuaded Baggy that she should have priority today as the weather is due to go pear-shaped again. So by 11.30am all the pots were watered, the front and back lawns were cut and the little flower bed weeded. Now regular bloggees might be wondering how Gloria cut the front lawn, rather than strimming it; as Baggy lives in a mid-terrace house. Well, Clever Bird got Gloria to take the lawnmower through the house - her second error of the day! The Domestic Goddess had a second fit when she saw how much grass was on the rugs and the kitchen floor that she had previously vacuumed. Then she realised that the new rug is soaked where Minty had laid on it. Ah well, situation normal in the Baggy household then!

Clever Bird did see her neighbour shortly after this drama and requested that the right-of-way that Baggy has through their garden be made so that she can actually get through it, because The Goddess may well kill Gloria if she makes that much mess on a weekly basis. Not to mention that Baggy seriously struggled to get the blooming mower through in the first place. Time for her to do those physio. exercises........
