Baggy is fighting her depression by planning for once.

Baggy had that Monday feeling again, so action was required! Firstly, after much phoning and rearranging of appointments, Baggy sorted her letter for the solicitor withdrawing from purchasing the land at their other house. She then took Furry Mama and Minty Mutt off to post it. It was hot, so they did the "wetlands" walk so that Mint could throw himself into the muddy stream.

It's such a beautiful day, but Hormonal Hannah had Baggy close to tears as she walked. As this wasn't great, Clever Bird decided to distract her by getting her to think about her future. This is not something that Baggy does, or has ever really done. Usually she just lives from day-to-day, or if she's feeling positive, maybe a week or so ahead. The future is, well, just that, the future, not something that requires much thought. So when she does decide to think about it, it has a habit of putting her into a panic. Take marrying Calum for example, as that required a few months of planning ahead, it freaked her out rather a lot. But when she worked, her whole life was planning ahead - in fact Clever Bird is seriously good at forward planning and project management. Just not for herself. But in her new frame of mind, she started. Using her brain cheered her up instantly.

By the time they got home, it really was incredibly warm and as Minty Mutt was covered in pongy stream mud, Furry Mama decided to give him a shampoo in his paddling pool. He's now rather fluffy. But at least he smells nice. As he dried off she then gave him a brush and groomed a small cat out of him.

Clever Bird decided to get Baggy out of the heat and to write a few notes, to try to clarify her planning. Pros and cons written down, she had a light-bulb moment. Previous decisions have now been turned on their head. She phoned Calum to see what he thought. There's one thing about driving around the country in an HGV on your own all day, you have an awful lot of time to think. Unlike Baggy, Calum thinks about the future a lot. It would seem that (not for the first time), he was one step ahead of Baggy. It looks as though a lot of things might be changing for the Baggy household in the future........
