Good Morning BEEEE!
Everybody is suffering from the heat. But we jewellers have been to Africa and other hot places – we know what stifling heat really means. This is still quite enjoyable.
Very tired we are… didn’t sleep too hot in the loft.

Loretta

Good Morning Loretta,
I see you are wearing a light, flowing white garment in this heat, as you presumably learnt in Africa or one of the hot Arab countries. Maybe we will get them too, if the heat returns. hen people will call me Bwana or Effendi instead of KOF WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Lots of people are sleeping badly in this sudden tropical heat.  But apparently it’s getting cooler again soon so there is no need to despair…

Good Morning BEEE!
It’s not too bad yet with the heat. We’ve gone through the book “OneBBO’s Castle” – the faxes and mails show a lot of heat going on in 2006! Maybe it will be really only hot for 2 days and cool down again.
We had a democratic decision about cocoa this morning. It was 1 to 22 (Lulabelle being in the FSA, Laetita and Mauve in Paris) for cocoa. the 1 pro cocoa vote came from Ducky – she’s insatiable when it comes to cocoa. We had some biscuits instead waaaaaaaaaaaah

Good Morning Loretta,
I think you’re right, just get through the next two days and then it’ll be cooler again. Probably a good idea not to heat yourself up too much in advance with cocoa, of course ducks have a different metabolism so that wouldn’t be a problem for her. Oh, those biscuits, I can well understand you having a go at them.
That’s amazing about 2006, it just seems like two years ago to me…

Good Morning BEEE!
This is my first time as MOW since we’ve come back from our great experience. And it’s 10 months and 2 weeks ago that I was MOW the last time, i.e. I’m all in favour of a strict 1-week-rule (until it comes to Thursday, I might then change my mind waaaaah).
I’ve got the latest Top Ten hits on my MP3-Player-Smartphone and the shooting star from nothing to No. 1 is…. the Pension Pot Blues. Great song!
“Pension pot blues,
Don’t be in my shoes,
Hold on to your money,
You know I’m right, Honey …”

“So make some provision
Before it’s too late
Save your hard earned Furows
For all your tomorrows …”

We jewellers are getting on well in our Centre of Creativity, as we’ve called it. The rich mushrooms are a great support and so we think we can master the next few months without problems. We are looking forward to Mauve coming back and joining as with her great ideas.
Yours
Loretta

Good Morning Loretta,
And nice to see you again after all this time (still without a wheeled walker, I’m glad to say …). I’m glad you’re in favour of t the 1-week rule (but júst wait till Friday… some things seem to be programmed in mushroom genes …)
Yes that was a great concert with the Rocking Ursi last night, the fan wouldn’t leave until after several encores! ZUGABE, ZUGABE,… they roared!
“Centre of Creativity” … what a wonderful name. And just as wonderful is the news that you have rich mushrooms backing your enterprise… under these circumstances you can’t fail, because they’re insatiable when it comes to fine jewellery…

We are all in a terrible working mood so that we can have tomorrow off. Although not the rule, Renate requested the Office Bears to come to the office for some theoretical training. She is very keen on them getting the medal “Among the top 5 service companies of the forest”. I don’t know how keen the bears are on thos award waaaaaaaaaaah
Yours
Lucy

Good Morning Lucy,
I heard a whisper that the Office Bears were plotting to secretly put some tranquillizers in Renate’s tea because they think it’s gong a bit far being dragged into the office on a Saturday, and in what will probably be a hottish day too. But that’s probably just a baseless rumour.
If they get the award, though, I bet we won’t hear the end of it and they’ll go round bragging about it and getting on everybody’s nerves …..

Good Morning BEEE!
We are all wondering what you will decide about the new job. Whatever you say – we (in contrast to certain other beings) stand by your side and support you!
We’ve got another delicious cocoa and a really big portion!
Yours
Lucy

Good Morning Lucy,
Might have known it was too good to be true. Time to put on my “Express Lips” … At least OneBBO and I didn’t come to blows about it.
Thank you for your support!
Breakfast looked almost too good to eat this morning.

Good Morning BEEE!
Can it really be Thursday already? I can’t believe it!
We got a cocoa this morning, wow! Didn’t have any for a long long time. And we were talking about the lovely holiday we had. Oh Beeeeee, I’m sure Lulabelle likes it in the FSA, but she missed the holiday. It’s difficult to grow up because that means you miss things at home. But we are quite young, aren’t we, and can still stay here with you and in the Castle with lots of cocoa??
Yours
Lucy

Good Morning Lucy,
It is unbelievable, isn’t it, the way the weeks are rolling by … unlike in Lesbury, where one week seemed to last a month…I wonder how the artctic tern, the white owl and the ducks are doing? The sea will still be rolling in with its sparkling spray …
Cocoa is also an ancient tradition, like the adventure cheese on Wednesday.
Of course my dear, you must never doubt that. No-one is going to thrust you out into the huge ocean of “out there” before you want to. Although it’s a bit “Morbus Ronsdorfiensis” ….

Good Morning BEEE!
Let’s hope the day will be quietish so that the troop of young bears pouring into the castle won’t be too puzzled. There are enough biscuits, there will be cocoa and the great KOF. That’s an impression they will take home. I remember the little mushs from the Docks, they behaved relatively okay. So why shouldn’t the bears from the Bärengymnasium be quite well behaved? There are a few young dock bears who are gifted among them. I have great hopes for Mickbearson (called like Mick Jagger, typical dockland name), he could get far – if he just gets the right attitude.
Enough professional talk, yours
Lucy

Good Morning Lucy,
Well I am really interested to welcome up and coming young whippersnappers from the Bärengymnasium. I am really proud that bears from less privileged backgrounds get the chance to make something of their innate talents. That is what the Forest is all about.
I know some of them will be quietish and over-awed to be here, while others will be putting on a show of adolescent bravado to conceal their nervousness.
I think there should be enough biscuits and cocoa. I’m sure OneBBO could make sure there will be Nachschub some time in the not-too-distant future…

Good Morning BEEE!
I feel really well today being MOW! And I’ll try to be a nice friendly mush today. You know what I mean? But only… as long as I’m not provoked.
The Young Bears in the first form of the Bärengymnasium wrote me several emails yesterday. They seem to miss me, I seem to be quite popular! And whether you believe it or not – a few of the older ones have a sort of crush on me.
I thought, if you don’t mind, I’ll invite a few for tomorrow for tea and ginger biscuits? They would LOVE to see the Castle and meet the Great KOF and the not quite so great OneBBO waaaaaaaaah.
Yours
Lucy

Good Morning Lucy,
I know what you mean and I’m grateful for this ..ö sometimes it’s a bit stressful seeing OneBBO being bashed verbally, remember her arm and thumb and how she is nevertheless soldiering on for us all heroically …
Older bears with a crush on you … well, well, well……  That’s a good idea about inviting a few tomorrow, as long as they don’t completely clean out the biscuit tin, of course … we can show them round a bit and explain what we do here…
Yours
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good Morning BEE,
you know… it’s getting a bit much. Some of us are very good mushs and stick to the 1-week-rule. And then… others don’t and exploit your good nature. Which leads to the proper ones to be MOW only very rarely. Last time I was MOW was in Juli 2012! That is 11 months…. almost a year!!!!
My song was practised 3 times this morning but without great success waaaah. Well to be honest, it wasn’t too bad.
My Refendarszeit in the Bärengymnasium will be finished soon and the Director told me that she’s very interested in keeping me as a junior teacher of her staff. Great! Working is much fun because most of the bears are furry cute and my colleagues are very nice.
Yours
Lucy

Good Morning Lucy,
July 2012! Well that is an eye-opener and no mistake. I know sometimes I should be firmer with these mushs with their sob stories, but to be fair to me, sometimes they are “durchgewunken” by the rest of the 25 …
Glad to hear you have been so successful that they want to keep you on at the school. No doubt you will be accumulating a nice pension pot gradually …..
Yours

Good Morning BEEE!
I promised Elgar not to make a big show of “This is my last Friday…” etc. I think I would hurt his feelings.
I wonder why he is so keen on moving together with me. I’m not a slave to his ktichen wishes, he should know that. Of course it would be nice to see him more often because he is pretty cute. I quite like him…. well we’ll see.
Ms. Hawthorn promised me a nice Monday afternoon sit and chatter. Of course – I’m two weeks behind with shop gossip waaaaaaaaaaah
Yours
Liliy

Good Morning Liliy,
I see you changed your name a bit. Quite nice!
Once you’re back in the shop chatting to Mrs. Hawthorn and the customers, you’ll wonder why you ever thought you’d like a third week! (ugh!.. you’ll think).
I’m sure Elgar is happy with this arrangement too …
Yours
