Update on Bear under Lockdown

While I've been lolling and loafing on the sofa, BEAR has been one busy bee under Lockdown. First thing, top of the morning he checks to make sure the view hasn't changed. And the weather - its been a study 70+ degrees and sunny.

Next Bear mixes up his Moka-Java - a combo of cocoa and hot chocolate powder + instant coffee with a touch if cinnamon powder (it took me DAYS to find cinnamon in Paris - everyone (still here) is baking babka) stirred into a dollop of creme fraiche.

A little indulgence to get him set up to WALK WITH LESLIE while I observe from the sofa.

Here are some of Bear's old fav French tunes in case you'd like to sing along whilst walk, walk, walking with Leslie. 

aimer jusqu'a l'impossible" by Tina Arena. 

Christophe - Les Mots bleus - Paroles. 

On ne change pas - Céline Dion 

Sables Émouvants - Arcadian 

Je fais de toi mon essentiel — Emmanuel Moire

Bear, fresh out of hibernation, is eating strange things these days for his 'Lockdown breakfast'. Its more like brunch but earlier.

He's added a new dish to his repertoire (upper right) from new crush, darling Greek Akis Petretzikis Kitchen - a chickpea stew to which I added 4 rotisserie chicken legs - a very hearty start of the day if you're a bear.

You asked to see more of Bear's supermarché shopping hauls. This one is from Marks & Spencer's.

Voila! Yes, he bought 2 herb plants. And yes they are not doing well. Bear has no green thumb like some of you Monique knows flower species instantly. The shells on the the lower left are bulots, known as welks in the UK. They are the closest thing I can find that taste vaguely like Jersey Surf City clams of my childhood, so irresisitable. Also full of iron and other nutrients. Bear never ate so well pre-lockdown.

Here Bear is hard at work on the April Paris Map, drawing in bed.

Sometimes Bear dreams of ice cream, which used to be a daily occurrence  pre-Lockdown.

He has been eye-balling Carrefour's fraise (strawberry) glace for days. On Wednesday he succumbed. Sadly the chips were disappointing and got chucked. Thank you dear PBers for your Etsy orders last week which keep Bear in ice cream. Bear just put some new things in our ETSY SHOP (all to be sent out ASAP post-Lockdown). PLEASE 🙏🏻 stay well dear PBers.❤️ Xxx Yours truly, 🐻🌹
