A Tranquil Adventure Of Sight, Sound & Smell

When I went out with Marie today, there was a lot to smell, see and hear. I met Tweed, her dog, whose fur was coloured like cookies and cream, and her house looked so warm and welcoming - except for the fact that there was disgusting pesto in her bin and that her kitchen smelled of wet dog - was that Tweed? Before lunch, we took a long walk down the hill and spotted many sights, including a few farms, a railway station that turned into a hotel, and even our guide Maggie and her dog Molly, who told us to take ten big steps and I'll never get exhausted on the walk. It was just like in CBeebies' newest show, 'Let's Go For A Walk', and right now I've discovered in two weeks, the channel will debut a new show that is like a show Mum used to watch at college, Gran, for an African-American audience: JoJo & Gran Gran. Every episode title began with 'It's Time To...' just like how another new CBeebies show, Dog Loves Books, began each title of each episode with 'Dog Loves....'. Speaking of, I told Marie all about my experiences, and she revealed she and her three teenage daughters used to love watching The Story Of Tracy Beaker, The Worst Witch (1998) and Bananas In Pyjamas.

We went back to Marie's house to have lunch, then to bake a chocolate cake. All the while I was singing, whilst beating the eggs, "Hey-diddle-ho-diddle, round and round and round!" Tweed had to lie down in a cage because he was all wet, and luckily I got rid of the wet dog smell of Marie's kitchen using her air freshener from the bathroom. Marie later used a pink air freshener on the living room, and I meditated to it, feeling like I was in a zen garden with my character Lanka the lioness cub, full of cherry blossom trees. I then lay down on the sofa for a little nap before I helped myself to a slice of chocolate cake - and trust me, Marie's a good baker - I can tell by all the cookbooks she has on her shelf! I learned to use three of my five senses on this day out - sight, hearing and smell - to accomplish the quietness of a day out with a careworker who lets me do whatever I want.
