Anniversary.

It seemed appropriate somehow that Baggy and Calum spent their sixth wedding anniversary, at their soon to be, new home. Clever Bird cannot believe that it's already six years since they married on 23rd October 2010. Freda Fretter finds it terrifying how quickly time is flying by, so from here on, Baggy will be making the most of every day.

As usual Baggy was spoilt rotten by her toad (she had to kiss a lot of princes to find him), Calum. He arrived home on Thursday evening with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It turned out that the secret-squirrel mission he then disappeared on, was to go and collect Baggy's anniversary presents from his Best Man, who'd been "hiding" them since Calum bought them in the summer at a re-enactment show that they'd all been at. Two absolutely beautiful hand-made scarves. Why were they "hidden" miles away bloggees you may well ask? - because Calum is incapable of having a present and not getting someone to open it! Witness Baggy opened these on Thursday night - their anniversary is today! Hidden in one of the scarves was a Pandora cat charm for Baggy's bracelet. Yep, her toad is very generous!

Yesterday morning, Dodgy loaded once more with two bookcases and eight full crates, Baggy, Calum and Minty Mutt headed over to the other house. The scaffolding is indeed up for the side extension roof to be sorted..

While The Domestic Goddess unpacked the crates and re-stacked books on bookshelves, Calum sanded down the peeling front door and repaired the rotten windows in the little porch..

All ready for Creative Clara to paint. Except that it decided to chuck it down with rain! Fortunately the door opens into the porch, so Baggy could get on with it.

Two coats later it's looking better, but still needs at least one more coat.

On Saturday evening they headed out for an anniversary meal. They went back to the gorgeous pub in Dunwich that they visited in Billy Bob camper van back in August. Clever Bird can safely say that the food there is superb and it's highly probable that the lemon meringue posset with short bread biscuits that Baggy had for dessert, was almost certainly the best pudding that Baggy has ever eaten. All the more so because she shouldn't have had it! Nor the very large glass of wine. Mind you, she really shouldn't have had that! She remembered, after devouring it, that Hormonal Hannah is not supposed to drink with her anti-depressants. Possibly why she then spent the rest of the night with another very upset stomach. Never mind, it was all worth it!

"Home" again Calum decided that they should open their anniversary cards (yes bloggees, still a day early), just as Baggy was about to sit down he said, "Careful where you sit". Baggy turned round and saw another little wrapped present! Bless her toad, Baggy had two more, beautiful Merino glass Pandora beads. Very spoilt! Freda Fretter was rather worried about how Hormonal Hannah would feel, sleeping at the house for the first time, but she was absolutely fine. Baggy's back wasn't great, as they just have a mattress on the floor at the moment, but at least Hannah didn't get upset.

This morning after Furry Mama took Minty Mutt on a walk to mark his new territory, more painting and cleaning ensued. Calum headed off to buy some essential bits and came back with Baggy's favourite chocolates! Bless him, but waaaaaaaaaaah! How is Baggy ever going to get to her weight target? Especially as Calum decided that before they drove home to their current home, they'd go and have a Sunday lunch at a pub. Ah well, it is their anniversary after all.........
