I started today squashed with indignity in a box of donated toys - facedown between a Disneyfied Eeyore and a Beanie Baby who smelt of endless traffic jams on the M4 and jam sandwhiches. I had been in the Charity Shop a while, before a hand appeared and pulled me upright. Aha! I thought, I have undoubtedly been chosen by some mum seeking a welcome diversion for her beloved cherub.
But no, it seems I am destined for some other purpose. My new keeper is Ms Krog, a secondary school teacher of a somewhat whimsical disposition, who because children at her school would show no interest in the "class bear" idea - came up with this instead.
The setting for my first adventure was a simple yet sophisticated affair that consisted of an afternoon perusing the shops on Gloucester Road, Bristol, one of the charity shops of which I was plucked from mere hours ago. Ms Krog has a fondness for charity shop shopping, as have I, so I'll show you some Points of Interest I came across:
 |
Here I am showing my literary taste *and* love of revising some handy household tips... |
 |
...knowing how to deal with teenagers is always useful - Ms Krog was particulary amused by the section of giving them their own plot in the garden to grow things in. I would be too busy worrying about being buried alive. |
 |
I heard there had been a recent dearth of tomato growing - perhaps they need to be by prescription. |
 |
I then headed to the local Scoopaway for my healthy organic snacks - for bears with lustrous fur. |
 |
Ms Krog introduces me to my new sparkly blog - none of my friends ever had their own blog! I feel speziale now - it even has a ticker! |
 |
To celebrate me and my new friends finished the evening on the balcony with a little civilised glass of something. |
 |
It was really, really nice wine. The glass came with its own accessories. I borrowed them. |
 |
I did not plan this. Help? |
And so that's it, my first day of my new life. I wanted to show you my background and all the fulfilling and civilised things I did during a brief afternoon in Bristol. Ms Krog thought I showed a lot of promise and I think that's enough for one day.
I look forward to my next adventure.*
* hopefully one that does not involve falling off a balcony.

Hello Pom
ReplyDeleteMrs Krog is right - you show a lot of promise, and I look forward to reading all about your adventures in the days and weeks to come.
You might want to be a tad careful about your alchohol intake - as you have already seen, overindulgence can land you in hazardous situations. I believe that many of your hostesses for the weeks to come are partial not only to a spot of wine, but also to chocolate, biscuits and Nice Ham - so they will have plenty of ways to indulge you during your travels.
Have fun
A Well wisher!
