Football Fans

It is very, very hot outside, too hot for small bears today, so I am staying indoors and writing my blog.

Hanley, Endon and I were hoping to have lots of boat adventures this summer but we had to stay at home while Polar got treatment for a blood clot in her leg.  Sitting or standing still for a long time is bad for her, so steering the boat for hours at a time, like she did on the Thames, would not be a good idea.  I am pleased to say she is getting better now and we are hoping we can do a little journey soon.

Watching the World Cup with Grizzly

Luckily, we have plenty to keep us out of mischief, like helping in the garden, and we are enjoying the World Cup.  As well as supporting England, we all picked one other team to cheer for.  I chose Belgium because I had such a lovely holiday there - then found they are in the same group as England, so I don't know who I should cheer for today! 

Hanley is cheering for Senegal, because they have two Stoke City players in their team, although he was also jumping about with joy when Shaqiri scored for Switzerland as he has been Hanley's favourite Stoke City player. 

Little Endon supported Peru, in honour of Paddington Bear and his Aunt Lucy, so he is sad they have been knocked out already.  We told him he should be very proud, as they have been voted the team with the best fans.  We feel sorry for all the bears who support teams who have been knocked out.  If bears organised it, every team would have to play every other team and there would be lots more games to watch and more chances for small teams to score.

We can't stay indoors watching football all the time, as there are things to do in the garden - like picking strawberries!  Our humans say we have a very good crop this year so, as there are so many, we are going to make some jam soon.  

We will also have plenty to eat if it stays too hot outdoors for furries and we decide to watch the tennis at Wimbledon instead!
