Toffee takes a trip

I am a slightly disgruntled bear. You see, I was supposed to be taken on adventures last week and photographed in situ. I had high hopes of trips to the movies, rides on slides in the park, picnics in the woods with other bears and opportunities for making mischief.
Instead, what do I get. I'll tell you what. I get to watch typing. Yeah, that was real fun I can tell you. It was time for some stern words...

At last it looked like we were going somewhere. I sat in the front seat of the car (with my seatbelt on naturally!) and we travelled for miles to a place called 'work'. I took a careful peek out of the dark bag in which I had been shoved. It looked a fascinating place with multi-coloured flags flying from the ceiling and friendly folk looking very busy.

I sat on the desk and watched ... (you guessed it - more typing!), then we went out somewhere far more interesting. The friendly folk at 'work' were also helping out some nice old ladies and gentlemen in a local care home. They had volunteered to tidy their garden, paint the fences and plant some bulbs. I met these nice old dears called Betty and Maureen.


Things were looking up, but then what? ... I'll tell you what.... Two days sitting in a dark handbag!

And to think that this was supposed to be a task from The Happy Book. Yes, HAPPY! Humph... short-changed I was! I'm off to see what the other participants got up to this week - bet it was more fun than sitting in a bag.
The excuse I got was that "it was such a hectic couple of weeks at work; I didn't have time to play with bears and take photographs... I didn't even get a chance to start the second happy book assignment. I'll be playing catch up for weeks"...
Well, what do you say readers? Shall I accept this excuse and give her a cuddle so she feels better?

  9. I love that we are getting bear's perspective! I'm feeling like a fuddy-duddy for not taking my doll more places now.

  13. You poor thing! I think you need the cuddle. The nerve of that one - leaving you stuffed in a dark, dark bag - are you sure you're feeling okay? I'll be watching out for you! Can't wait to see where you do finally get to!
    Take care little one!
