More Silly Old Bears - 14 October 2021 - Plague Journal Day 581

Micah 6:8
Numbers 22:21-31
Yes, your life matters.

Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Today marks the 95th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh's literary debut - just a day after (but several years before) that of another British bear, Paddington, mentioned in yesterday's post. (Yes, Paddington was originally Peruvian, but there's little doubt he's been naturalised by now.)
Pooh was created by British author A.A. Milne, and he lives in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, England with his friends Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, and Eeyore (among others).
It's also National Frump Day, perhaps celebrating the personality of Eeyore. Please don't be an Eeyore.

Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
