Before we start, I just want to let you know that I've been recently thinking about Nothing and Hover in a bathtub splashing each other like Kipper and Tiger did in 'Big Owl's Bath', while Feather pokes out of the bubbles wearing scuba gear. Anyway, to start, let's welcome My Pride with some music:
Because there'll be a whole pride of lions in this evening's episode, I'd like to welcome them with a song from Brother Bear - literally!
Now, enjoy Nothing's visit to the jungle and prepare to be sensualized (is it even a word?) by the wild and free antics of the lions you're about to meet!
Today, a very shocking thing happened while I was at Grandma's - she wasn't able to walk, and she was caked in her own faeces! Yuck! It was gross, but I became a hero and helped save her by bringing her over to her chair. This was also the first time I saw paramedics enter her house, and I even conversated with the machine which made beeping noises and found out Yorkshiremen made sausage rolls. It was like being in a real Operation Ouch episode! Speaking of sausage rolls, I waited all day for the ASDA order, referring to the sausage rolls as a 'pizza delivery'.
To cheer Grandma up, I also told her a scary campfire/sleepover-style story about the Vampire School Goth Band and how, whenever their instruments get stolen, the band will die off of blood loss. They appear during a full moon and love to perform for the students on board the Elisabetha. That's one way to brighten up a tragic moment when your grandma has a water infection! Here are some of the videos I saw while at Grandma's today:
I had three dreams last night, like I did the night before last night. Fire away!
In the first dream, I was in the Bluey episode 'Barky Boats' along with Sir Otto Sneer, Dixon and NoName. While Bluey and Mackenzie had Mia and Captain, Chloe, Honey and Indy and I had Frisky. You see, what you didn't know about Frisky was that she secretly made her debut in 'Barky Boats' long before her proper introduction in 'Double Babysitter'. We lay on the grass and looked up at the clouds in the sky, then Frisky gave me a fun ride on her shoulders. Afterwards, we played at being land whales, while Otto decided to watch, thinking the game is for losers. Frisky had brought her bubble mixture and wand with her to make it look like we're really playing this game in the swimming pool. Isn't life great when you've got a buddy like Frisky? I thought so, because in my dreams I'm a young girl who can be whoever she wants to be and does whatever she wants, like Pippi Longstocking.
The second dream saw the return of the best teacher in the world, Professor Sybil. Here, my teaching assistant Coco and I were using the above Teletubbies episodes to teach my students Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, Velma, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey and Mackenzie all about the number 8 and the colour pink. I told them how people use that number and colour in their day to day lives, taught them the two times tables and even engaged them in a few other math problems. When the montage of the colour pink was shown to the students, they were at first frightened, but when they saw the pink flower, they chorused "WOW!" They even begged to see the Animal Parade, so I showed them my favourite magic event beside the Magic Tree and the Three Ships, telling them it was based on 'The Animals Went In Two By Two'. When I taught them about the number 8 I even lead them in singing 'Eight Green Bottles'. Watch the above videos and see for yourself how eight and pink are used in daily life! Anyway, onto the final dream...
This one is themed around my doubts for being friends with Cleo after seeing 'Endless Summer'. I took Cleo, Luella, Niles, Mildred, Maud and Enid to an ice cream shop. Over ice cream we talked about friendships and our doubts for being friends with one another. We confessed that if Luella spends more time with Mildred than she does with Cleo, I'll still spend time with Cleo as long as Luella joins in too. Afterwards, we played on the beach nearby - I played with Cleo while Luella and Mildred paddled in the sea. This was much like a typical friendship confession in a CBBC drama meets 'The Worst Witch All At Sea' - friendship problem sorted.
