So many things to get done when you’ve just come out of the cupboard.
There’s cleaning to do.
And the clocks have stopped.
(I’ll need a ladder for the kitchen clock – I’ll wind that later.)
Better see what food I’ve got, and make a shopping list.
Ooh, Alicia left lots of tasty things in the cupboard when she went back home! I must remember to thank her.
I won’t need to go shopping today.
I can climb up to wind the cuckoo clock.
Oh dear, it gets harder every year.
I’ll rest at the top, and have a chat with the big cuckoo.
The little cuckoo keeps itself to itself.
At least the electric clocks are still going.
I still can’t believe it’s April! Have I missed Easter?
I think I’d better phone Ruffy. He always knows what’s what.
That’s my friend Ruffy. I have a picture of him on my desk.
I know – I’ll ask him round for a cup of tea and a good catch-up.
I’ll get out the best cups.
And a clean table-cloth. Maybe put on a necklace.
One biscuit left in the packet.
Nice and soft, I’ll break it into toothsome morsels.
I’m looking forward to having a tea party!
It’s always good to talk to Ruffy.
After tea, we can go for a walk. Lovely!

Well, he’s in a funny mood.
Better look at that letter. Where did I put it?
I did read the letter (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/876876/CCS155_CCS0320349160-003_PM_letter_to_nation_on_coronovirus_Accessible.pdf),
and then I phoned Ruffy again.
He told me all about the coronavirus.
He says it’s even worse than the letter said.
Because I’m old, and because I have underlying health conditions, I’m extra Vulnerable.
So I can’t go out at all.
Can’t see my friends.
Can’t go to the shops.
Can’t go to the park.
I just have to stay at home.
I suppose I may as well have some of that biscuit.
