Darweena's lockdown diary
Hi Everyone,
I am self isolating with Emma. As I am 30 cm long when I am social distancing, everyone has to be 50cm from me.
Now as I am a bearded dragon, I do not have to worry about this virus as it only affects humans. Emma put some newspaper down the other day for me and I happened to read an interesting article in it that said cats might be able to get it. Well cats and me don't get on so I am very happy to social distance from that species.
I was getting a bit unhappy cramped in my one room apartment and Emma noticed. She has made me my very own run- wow! I have palace to roam around in now. I even have my own swimming pool. Talk about a 5 star hotel!
My host family have been unable to get me any juicy locusts. Apparently, they are not considered essential and the shop selling them has closed. Excuse me- I feel that they are essential for my well-being. Please don’t forget us small creatures at the bottom of the food chain.
My bowels have working overtime- I reckon it’s all this fresh air and greenery. I do prefer locusts and I am not that much of a fan of greenery, but they don't half bung me up.
I have had my poo analysed- makes me feel very important. Apparently, I have pin worm. I have to go to the vet. I wonder what she will do to me. The girls at school give me a hot bath, a little squeeze and massage my tummy when they want my poo to come out. Maybe the vet will do the same. I might have to have some medicine.

By heck everyone – I’m having a blast. My advice for keeping cheerful during lockdown is:
- Plenty of exercise
- Lots of fresh fruit and grass and daisies (and locusts for a treat if you can get hold of them)
- Make sure you poo often!
Love and kisses
