Mutter and repeat, mutter and repeat.......

At silly o'clock this morning when Calum left for work, the world was white and crisp and sparkly. As Dodgy Truck is still in the garage waiting for parts to arrive from America, he asked Baggy which car he should take. "Well, you'd best take Billy Bob". He came back up later to kiss Baggy goodbye. "Well, I'd best get off early as I need to scrape Billy Bob".
Clever Bird woke up a bit more.
"Urrrrm, I forgot Billy Bob has no heating, perhaps you'd better take Brucie Fiat, as I'm not really going anywhere much".
"Okay thanks."
Baggy went back to sleep as it was 6.15am. The world was still white and crisp and sparkly when Furry Mama headed out with Minty Mutt for his first walk in six days. As she fought her way past the dustbin that The Domestic Goddess had put in front of the gate, preventing anyone from getting in or out, Clever Bird realised that the bins aren't emptied until tomorrow. Baggy swore as she got the dustbin stuck on the hedge. Minty squeezed past.

Then Freda Fretter went into a total meltdown, Billy Bob had been stolen, he wasn't there. Baggy's heart rate shot up. It took a few seconds for Clever Bird to point out that although Billy Bob wasn't there, Brucie Fiat was! Sigh!

Furry Mama and Minty set off on their walk. Baggy struggled to keep up with Mint who was rather excited to be out, as although their lovely neighbours look after the house and furries if Baggy is away, they find Mint a bit too much to walk! Baggy phoned Calum.
"I thought Billy Bob had been stolen."
"Didn't you see Brucie?"
"Yes, I was staring at him as I thought it. Why did you take Billy Bob? Did he defrost with no heat?"
"Eventually, but I suddenly realised it wasn't fair you driving him in this weather when you are so poorly with that cough and cold".
One of many reasons why Baggy is so lucky to have her number one furry.

Baggy struggled to get her breath as the icy air got into Furry Mama's lungs, but it was a spectacularly beautiful morning. (No bloggees Creative Clara did not touch up that sky colour!)


When they got back, Clever Bird had a bit of a funny moment, when she realised the lengths that Hormonal Hannah has been driving Baggy to. Baggy has always chatted to herself. She spends way too much time on her own, or at least without humans, so she needs someone to talk to. She also has the telly on all the time for the same reason, she needs to hear human voices. But Clever Bird suddenly realised that Baggy is constantly "listing" out loud.
"So, I'll feed the furries, have a shower, get dressed and take Minty Mutt out".
"Right, I'll make a cup of tea, put the washing on then do the washing up".
"Okay, I'll do my blog, check my Etsy shop, then have some lunch".
It's constant, repetitive wittering, out loud. The list is repeated:
"So, I'll have a shower, get dressed and take Minty Mutt out".
"So I'll get dressed and take Minty Mutt out" etc etc.

But if Baggy doesn't do this, Hormonal Hannah makes her forget. Yes, okay bloggees, she's not likely to forget to get dressed. But she has boiled the kettle about six times today, but only remembered once to make a cup of tea.  The washing up has been done by The Goddess, but not one load of washing has gone on yet. It is now 2.40pm and no food has past Baggy's lips since last night.
"Right publish Blog, check Etsy shop, make a cup of tea"...............
