Christmas Swim

I've had three dreams last night, two of which included me with Bluey and all her family and an idea that'll change one of my favourite Me, You, And... stories.
In the first dream, I joined Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey, Bingo, Mum, Dad, Uncle Stripe, Aunt Trixie, Muffin, Socks, Nana, Uncle Rad and Frisky on a Winter walk through the woods and countryside. I was amazed - nature was such a wonderland of ice and snow at Winter, and the younger members of Bluey's family thought it was beautiful, too, though Socks got his tongue stuck to an icy tree at one point and Uncle Stripe had to pull him free. In the field, we had an epic snowball fight and made snowmen, and even went sledging down the big hill, before going home to warm mugs of milk and cocoa.
My second dream was a montage of images that would be epic front cover suggestions for my Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron books - silhouetted, crayon-drawn images of Furaha and Jetfire. They may seem childish at first, but this dream gave me an excellent idea. Like how Walt Disney decided to break Winnie The Pooh into three short featurettes, I decided in reality to divide MYATC into thirteen chapters and release them in book form. Chapters 10, 6 and 13 will be up next year, so look out!
In the third and final dream, I was on a five-star cruise ship with Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella, Bluey, Bingo, Mum, Dad, Muffin, Socks, Uncle Stripe, Aunt Trixie, Nana, Uncle Rad, Frisky, Snickers, Dog, Pug and Calypso. We were all taking a holiday together, and we delved in the luxuries of a family cruise ship: succulent food including burgers, chips, pizza and ice cream and more, a surf stimulator, a skydiving stimulator, a trapeze school, dodgem cars, a rock climbing wall, scuba diving, archery, bars, lounges, clubs, pools, wave machines, room service, spas, fitness centres, shops, a sports court, fitness classes, a pool table, scrapbooking (which we all did together), table tennis, whirlpools (I meant pools, not those found in the ocean), outdoor film nights, a kids' area (Bluey and her friends loved that), an arcade, a solarium, an art collection, wine tasting, jewelry making, salsa dancing, teen disco, adventure science lab, dance classes, activity groups, cupcake classes, sushi-making classes, an art collection, a music hall, a water park and lots of other endless possibilities. It's like taking a holiday in Heaven! While the grown-ups had time to relax, the kids and I had time to explore and have fun with the pools, the food, the activity groups and so on, though Calypso had to accompany Bluey and Snickers during the groups. If there were a Bluey episode called 'Cruise' we would either see Bluey and her family play at being on a cruise ship or going on a cruise ship. However, there's a scene in my favourite story in the original Horrid Henry book, Horrid Henry's Holiday, which saw Henry and Peter on board a boat eating chips and sausages - while Henry went crazy, Peter was quiet and sensible. Yeah, Royal Carribeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn!!!
