Strawberry did come round with the shopping.

She made two trips to the shop, and came back with her shopping trolley loaded with vegetables.

Fresh food at last!

Just as well, because Ruffy rang to ask about my health.

But it’s true, I am a bit thinner than I used to be. Maybe I’ll weigh myself.

I used to be four ounces exactly. But I don’t seem to be that heavy now.

I lost the one-ounce weight, so I use a spoon instead.

There, that’s about right. What does that add up to?

One and a half ounces, and sixty grams.

I wouldn’t say that’s dangerously underweight, would you?

I’ve eaten the celery, but there’s nothing else I really fancy eating.

I’ll put chocolate biscuits on the shopping list.

I hope Ruffy won’t say they’re too unhealthy.

food shopping

I’ve been reading about the virus.

I know I must keep away from people, and lick my paws often.

Now to work out how I’m going to manage on my own at home during Lockdown.

I’ve got enough food to live on, but it would be nice to have something fresh to eat.

Look, another letter has arrived!

That’s an extremely kind offer.

Do I know Strawberry at number twenty-nine?

The pink one. Oh yes, I’ve seen her around. A very small bear.

I think she was one of triplets. There was a blue one too, and a yellow one.

I’ll phone and ask her to get me just one or two things. Fruit and veg, and maybe a bit of cheese or an egg.

Well, if I don’t have to worry about getting food, I’ll have all the time in the world.

The day stretches endless! What shall I fill it up with?
