Hannah had Baggy so distracted, that Furry Mama didn't notice the cows in the field, as she let Minty Mutt through the gate. Fortunately, Mint didn't notice them either, as he threw himself into the stream. As he came out, Furry Mama managed to put him on the lead, as a Mummy cow, gave us threatening looks from afar. When they got home Clever Bird decided that the front garden needed some attention. It was looking an overgrown mess. Then she remembered that Baggy was supposed to have booked her car in to the garage as it 's making weird clunking noises. Phone call made - but they needed to call her back with some prices.
Gloria Gardener fought her way with her lawnmower, through the right-of-way that Baggy's house (a mid-terrace), has through next door's garden - it was blocked by various things, including a very large buddleia and a dustbin. But Baggy has tried to bring the lawnmower through the house in the past, and it didn't end well! Front grass cut. All the pots moved and weeded round. Gloria decided that the hedges needed a trim. Clever Bird went off and found the electric hedge trimmers. She'd just set them up with the extension lead, when the phone rang - Baggy dived inside; sales call. Grrrr. She tested the scary hedge trimmers - they worked. The phone rang. Another dive. Calum this time, asking what the solicitor had said. Grrrrr. Gloria started to cut the hedge. The phone rang. Another dive. The garage - the car is going to cost a fortune and is just out of warranty! Course it is!
Gloria returned to the hedges. At this point it occurred to Clever Bird that perhaps letting Hormonal Hannah anywhere near an electric hedge trimmer, especially in her new "fight" not "flight" mode, might not be the brightest idea, but Baggy and Minty Mutt still have all their limbs and there is some hedge left!
Nearly four hours later, the solicitor still hadn't called back. Clever Bird got back on the phone. "He's busy, he'll call you when he has time". "He had time to go to lunch for an hour", muttered Hannah to Baggy. "Okay then. Thank you". Now where's the grrrrr! Baggy? An hour later the solicitor called. Basically said, "It's all in hand. It could take another month. If you'd just let me get on with it......" Baggy was not amused - what did she say? "Oh, okay, thank you so much". Waaaaaaaaaah!!! Baggy phoned Calum for a phone cuddle and a rant. She explained the conversation she had with the solicitor - as opposed to the conversation that she'd intended to have. She explained that she was also stressing about whether the tenant had any intention of moving out, as so far, after two months of notice, he still hadn't said he was leaving; she needed to speak to the estate agent. Calum offered to phone the estate agent. Bless Baggy's rock, she needs him, as her grrrrr! is obviously not working...........
