My Head Is Full Of Dreams....

Fishing, playing and sleeping with polar bears, all the while stark naked and adjusting to cold Arctic weather. Can you imagine that? I can, and I'm doing it as part of my new story, I.B.F.Fs & The Polar Bear.


Who's That Rabbit?

Someone very unexpected popped up on Tiny Pop whilst I was watching Once Upon A Sesame Street Christmas. He's small, white, has big ears and eyes, an excited smile, a red shirt and blue shorts. Who is that long-eared new kid?
That's right - SIMON! I first saw him on the Tiny Pop website, and having him appeared in between the first and second half of Once Upon A Sesame Street Christmas is a hint he'll come back to TV soon. What's better, I'll have him as a new friend! If he doesn't impersonate Peppa Pig in most cases, which it probably won't. I'll find out soon enough.

Polar Bear

It seems my sleep story has inspired the most fascinating dream I've ever had, very fascinating indeed...
Luke, Resus, Cleo and I were raised by a mother polar bear, who took care of us just like we were one of her two little cubs and was very kind to us too. The cubs who stayed by her side thought of us as their brothers and sisters. We'd slide down a snowy slope each day with Mama and her cubs by our side, then we'd go hunting for fish near the Arctic ocean, sharing our catch with our family. There's still plenty of time to relax and play in the snow, sometimes we'd tumble about with Mama and the cubs and chase each other in a game of Tag, or I'd play Hide & Seek with Luke, Resus, Cleo and the cubs. We'd play two very favourite Winter games, too - making snow angels and having joyous snowball fights, often getting Mama involved. We'd go for a swim in the Arctic seas, but in this particular dream, we were forced off our white clothes to feel nothing come between our skin (and bandages) and that water. Even though Luke, Resus and I are naked, we are able to withstand the cold, frigid temperature. 

In fact, this happens in a story I've thought based on that dream, I.B.F.Fs & The Polar Bear, which sees us stripped off our clothes for the entire story - Luke, Resus and I withstand the cold naked, but Cleo feels warm under her bandages. We rely on our mother to keep us warm and protected. She is a kind and loving mother who cares for her children. I'll do the story when the Scream Street episodes 'The Brown Lagoon' and 'The Beast Within' air, so I'll give you an update on what antics me and my friends/siblings get up to being raised by polar bears in the Arctic.

Does This Rhyme Seem Familiar To You As Any, Piglet?


I remember going to the chemist's back in South Woodham Ferrers and seeing a blue bottle of body lotion, or wash or whatever, with Winnie The Pooh and his little friend Piglet on it. On the back, there's this soft little rhyme I know by heart, accompanied by a picture of Piglet lying next to it. And that began my love of softness. Let me tell the rhyme to you:
"Floating in the big blue sky,
Bumping into clouds - oh my!
Lots of clouds that float aloft,
They touch my skin - they feel so soft!"

This is what everyone should recite to unleash their inner softness.
