We’re all locked down.
Of course some people still have to go to work.
Ellie is going in to work at her nursery.
Little Strawberry is working as a volunteer, helping old people to get to their vaccinations.
I wonder when I’ll get the vaccine.
I’m not eighty yet, so I suppose I’ll have to wait till the really old bears have been done.
My friends are all being very sensible about the Virus.
The ones who are old or vulnerable, like me, are staying at home.
The others are very kindly running errands for those of us who can’t go out.
They all wear their masks, and keep their distance from other people.
So I was surprised when Walrus telephoned.
Oh dear oh dear.
I wanted to telephone Monkey straight away and beg him not to drive Walrus to the seaside.
Monkey’s young and impulsive, and I’m sure he’d be easily persuaded.
But on second thoughts, I decide to telephone Ruffy instead, and ask him to have a word with Monkey.
I’ll ask Bimbo to have a word with Walrus.
Bimbo should be persuasive, with his first hand experience of the Virus.
So there’s nothing I can do about stopping Walrus.
I suppose it was a mistake to mention what fun we’d had at the seaside.
The Baby and I did only go on the roundabout at night, when there was no one else around, but we shouldn’t really have been at the funfair at all.
It’s so easy to get carried away and forget about the Virus.
I wanted to give the Baby a little treat. It had had such a hard time.
Which reminds me – where is the Baby?
Oh Baby, no! Come down! That light bulb is hot!
I hope Ellie hurries up and brings round the books she’s going to lend me about how to tame babies.
