The gang are definitely regrouping.

Well that was another brilliant day! The gang are definitely regrouping and supporting Baggy, more than causing her grief. Furry Mama could barely keep up with Minty Mutt, he seemed to be on a real mission today - but it's all good for Baggy's fat burning. This is required after losing the plot food-wise over the weekend: sausage rolls, scones and jam, cake, baguettes, sausages, pork crackling, in fact bloggees, you name it, Baggy probably ate it. She put two pounds on anyway, so has three days to lose it again! So trying to keep up with the very enthusiastic Minty Mutt was a good thing.

Quick (healthy) lunch rustled up by The Domestic Goddess in between hanging out washing and vacuuming, before Clever Bird persuaded Freda Fretter that Baggy should drive Billy-Bob Jalopy to the yard. Now it's not that Baggy can't drive him, in fact he's really fun to drive, but without Calum being her ear-piece-guide every now and again, Freda was worried that Baggy might panic on her own. Left-hand drive on scary single track roads, fine unless you need to reverse, or even to brake suddenly; Billy-Bob might be fun to drive, but he's certainly not easy. But Baggy decided to take Grotty Groom to the yard in B.B. She enjoyed the drive! Everyone wanted to admire him too, which was fun.

It's also fairly handy having a little sitting room to relax in at the yard. Even though, once again Grotty had not actually ridden Wesley for nine days, the Boy was a poppet. It was really hot and humid, but he tried so hard. Vicky-May videoed Grotty and Wessles towards the very end of the lesson, when both of them were getting rather tired, so he was leaning on Grotty occasionally, and certainly they went better earlier on, but still, Clever Bird was proud of them.

 

 

 

When Grotty hopped off she realised how hard she had actually worked Baggy, as her legs went rather jelly-like! She'll ache tomorrow. Perhaps Clever Bird should have thought through having a lesson the day before Grotty looks after the horses for the first time in a year, but then this is Clever Bird we're talking about. She decided that a cup of tea was in order and a new pair of gloves for mucking out tomorrow. She sat in her Billy-Bob sitting room mulling over a plan of action for tomorrow.

 

 

The gloves remained clean for under five minutes, as Grotty decided to take out the poos that the Boys had already done since coming in - see, a contemplate and a cup of tea, result in forward planning. It does remain to be seen whether Baggy will be able to get up at 6.30am though........
