Do you like using a computer? I have a teddy friend called Charles William the Computer Whiz teddy, and he is the most clueiest computer knowing bear in the whole world!! Well perhaps not the whole world, because I have another friend called Albear Tedstein who lives in England and he is very up-to date on all things computer wise. In fact, he created the theory that " 2 slices of bread+ jar of honey+a banana = a very yummy sandwich!" That formula has been used from one generation of teddy sandwich liking eaters to the next! He has very unusual teddy hair too. It is grey and white, sticks up straight in the air and looks like there has been a severe shortage of combs at the local supermarket and he didn't grab one before this shortage arose!

Anyway, Charles William is very computer knowledgeable. He knows what to do when the "feared " blue screen appears on the monitor . I have always wondered why the screen turns blue if there is a problem ? Blue is a pretty colour, the shade of the sky so it doesn't seem quite fair that it should be associated with problems! Or why can't the screen have multi coloured stripes across it so that you feel a lot happier when an error arrives? And...as far as the mouse is concerned, why would people want to stroke a pet mouse every time that they use the computer! I wouldn't want to! I don't like mice or  mouses or even a single one mouse! Oh, I do apologise! I am friends with Mickey and Minnie Mouse who live in Disney Land, but they are really mice are they? Well, I don't think that they are? Hmmmm....I don't know! Mickey's favourite food is cheese toasty sandwiches, so perhaps they are mice?

    Did you know that Charles has his own search engine site? He does you know! It is called Toogle Boogle, and is much better than Google! It even brings up search item links for Strathalan! He often googles ( sorry, more accurately I should say that he toogles boogles!) items that he wants to search for such which on line store sells his favourite chocs that have strawberry centres, as well as what the weather is like where he lives.

   Have you ever tried saying or thinking of the word"yahoo", which is another search engine without sort of singing or raising your tone at the end?! I feel a bit like Cassidy the Cowgirl teddy when I say the word . Cassidy doesn't ride a cow you know. She rides a horse called Horatio the horse. He is quite a gentle horse. Hmmm....he is gentle and happy if he gets his daily fed of carrots and an apple. Otherwise, I would very much advise you not to approach him! Cassidy is also a very good chef, and the other day she decided to try out a new recipe that she read in the C.B.A ( also known as Country Bears Association ) annual cookbook. It is called "Apple and Carrot pie" . She serves with a choice of cream or butter to Horatio, and he really, really likes eating it!! One neigh means he wants cream, 2 neighs means he wants butter and 3 neighs means that he would like a dollop of both!! Cassidy does own a cow called Clara. She supplies the milk for the long life milk cartons that are sold at the Kiosk.

  Well, I had best be off to check my emails. Hmmm... do I left click or right click ? I get so confused!!!!

   Until next time ,

          Try out the apple and carrot pie recipe and enjoy some milk from Clara!
