Hormonal Hannah and Clever Bird are arguing.

Baggy just can't keep up with Hormonal Hannah and Clever Bird; they keep making her change her mind about things! Case in point: the land at Baggy's Dad's house. After much discussion with Calum and lots of thinking by Baggy, she decided to leave a message with her solicitor yesterday, telling him to withdraw her offer to buy the land. The moment she had put the phone down, Freda Fretter started her panicking. What if the bloke starts arguing about it? What if he just ignores her and removes the fencing and just takes the garden over? What if? What if? Panic. At least if Baggy just gives in and buys it, it will be sorted. So she fretted most of the night away, while poor Calum kept her awake coughing his poorly head off.

This morning Baggy was taking Grotty Groom to ride Wesley with her friend Sarah. Clever Bird pointed out that Baggy would therefore be out when the solicitor called this morning. Ah well. Sarah wasn't feeling marvellous when Grotty saw her, so decided not to ride after all. Hormonal Hannah immediately saw this as the perfect excuse for Grotty not to ride either, but Clever Bird reminded her that it is only four weeks until Grotty and Calum go on their riding holiday - at this rate, Baggy will not be riding-fit as she hasn't ridden once since two weeks ago. Clever Bird won. Grotty took Wesley into the school and Sarah came in to support them and keep an eye on Baggy. Wesley was an angel once again - a very confused angel the moment Grotty asked for trot, but an angel nonetheless. Sarah pointed out that Baggy's left foot was sticking out once more and flapping about a lot. Nothing new there (it always has because of her misaligned pelvis), however, before Baggy's Lawrence-the-durmoid-cyst surgery, Baggy had the strength in her left leg to enable Grotty to guide Wesley properly, now she has no strength. Nada, because her core is not strong. So they did much work in walk, fairly well; but the moment Grotty asked for trot it went horribly wrong. Wesley had no clue what Grotty wanted and drifted left (dramatically) once again. So Grotty returned to walk, then decided to try some canter. That felt pretty good and was so much more relaxed. So for now, walk and canter it will be, while Baggy builds some strength back up.

Of course the solicitor had called while Baggy was out. After a chat with him, Hormonal Hannah made Baggy do a complete about-face and decided that Baggy should wait and see what the man says about her offer, but that she should almost certainly buy the land, even though actually he is in the wrong. The problem being that to prove that, might lead to litigation that would cost more to resolve than the price he wants! Plus will mean uncertainty and stress for months, which Hannah will not cope with. Clever Bird is inclined to agree that it might be easier just to pay the bloke (it has been dragging on for four years already). Baggy spoke to Calum who said he'd been thinking the same thing. Hormonal Hannah immediately felt better. Freda Fretter worried about the money, but it'll be worth it to get this sorted out quickly.

Baggy decided to take Furry Mama out with Minty Mutt to clear her head. It's amazing what sights you see in Baggy's village! Baby Rheas anyone?
