Adventures Of An At Home Globetrotter

What a day I've had - and quite an exciting one. With my support worker, it doesn't matter how she plans it, but how I plan it.

First off all we went to the train station for our picnic. I've never been to a train station before. There were two men nearby cooking away for the restaurant, and there was a huge enormous tree with white willow flowers, and lots of benches where people can sit and wait for their lunch while waiting to catch a train. There was even an outdoor cafe, and a small wooden carving of a train housing lots of flowers.

And then, we went all the way to the 'Noisy Town', Golspie. First we went to Lindsey's, aka The Blue Peter Store, and guess what? I not only bought a wordsearch, but also some bubbles and some shades for in case my eyes get blinded by the hot sun. For in this weather, journeying around the country is like walking through a long, hot desert. And the best part about the wordsearch I got was it contained a wordsearch full of kids' shows - Babar, Binka, Boo, Softies, Oswald, Pingu, the Tweenies, and best of all.....BRUM!

The delusional little kid on four wheels had his own place on the wordsearch, but of course this book was talking about the terrible times he spent chasing things and causing a public disturbance. That's Series 3. The proper Brum is the one who always helps others and discovers new things about the community of friends he helps build - that was from the '90s. He loves that era, don't you?

Anyway, our next stop was the charity shop. I wanted to buy a CD, but I couldn't decide what CD to buy. I wanted to get Now Christmas, but my support worker said Christmas was a long way away. So, I went looking for books to read - there were so many, I couldn't decide what to choose. So many choices, so little time. But finally, I chose a treasury of five minute stories as well as a Daisy novel and a Top Gear Search & Find book featuring Stig and lots of pop culture references.

While there I met this nice young woman named Amy, who was a bit silent most of the time, but we managed to bond through paying for my stuff. Then my support worker and I went for a little drive, and I took some selfies of me myself and I with my cool shades on. I felt like Rainbow Dash in her limosine!

And finally we went to the Spar to get a chocolate bar and something cool to drink. Of course the car was being a bit of a bully and pulled my shoe off, and then my music glitched out and halted most of the time, but somehow for some reason I managed to ask my support worker if I could have a moment of quiet, and I did. When we got in, it was different to how I last visited it.

Everything was in different places, and there was a barista at the far back of the shop. And guess what else? Galaxy Milk Chocolate drinks! Of course I chose the chocolate bar and the can of Coke, because there were fruity fizzy drinks in there, and Mum said fruity fizzy drinks can cause tooth decay.

Still, what a fun day out I've had! I hope I can go on another one again. Don't forget to write! (I meant postcards, not to my blog)

Show & Tell - A!

"A is for apple, B is for bear, C is for chair...."

HETTY! What are you doing here?! You're not supposed to be on this blog anymore! I'm trying to do a post about something interesting I've found, and you're trying to ruin it for us all!

"Sorry, I was only trying to-"

*SMACK!*

*ASYKW Beginning Joyous Cry*

There, that's gotten rid of her. Now, I am proud to present my latest greatest find of all time. This fine young mum has compiled together a list of things that her kids - and your's too if they have the money - can take to school for show and tell, or show off to the people at Fox & Friends.

And remember, expect appearances from characters from Arthur, Sesame Street, The Little Mermaid and Alice In Wonderland!

A Poem About Lunch Peace, By Captain Magenta

When the dog disturbs you

When you're trying to have your lunch,

It's important you look after yourself

And find someplace else to munch

Letter To Lady Penelope - Baby Days

Dear Lady Penelope,

I have had an extremely rough night last night, so much that I refused to wake up even before 8 O’clock. To soothe me during this difficult time, do you remember when I was a baby and you used to hold me in your arms? It felt very soothing and comforting, and even Parker was there to hug me. You thought I was the most wonderful baby you’ve ever seen, and you agreed then on that you can be my sister. Your hugs towards me feel so gentle and elegant, that I almost felt like I was in Heaven.

Looking on the lighter side, I remember one time it was bathtime (I was a baby at the time) and I was hiding under a soft white towel on your bed. You were cheekily trying to find me, and when you lifted off the towel, there I was, completely naked and giggling. In response, you picked me up and cuddled and tickled me, calling me ‘a little rascal’. And from what I heard outside of my life with you and Parker, I think I seem to remember when Redan’s Fun To Learn Friends magazine had your franchise, Thunderbirds, in it, alongside Arthur and the Mr Men. I can tell it had Thunderbird 3 on the cover, with the logo underneath. As for Redan itself, it made big bucks with their Thunderbirds magazine back in the ‘90s, even you and Parker got some respect. I wish I was around in the ‘90s to see it. My room is currently a tip due to waiting for the decorator, but I wish I lived with you and Parker. You two are the best friends in the Thunderbirds universe!

Love,

Sybil

A Letter From Luella - Earworms

Dear Sybil,

Oh, please—you think an orange, stripey version of my earworm wiggled its way into your brain overnight? How flattering! Though if I were behind it, I’d have made sure it was far more diabolical than a bouncy song about family trees. Still, I suppose there’s a certain evil charm in watching you suffer through Tigger’s family reunion. He’s far too chipper for my taste, but I do admire his persistence.

You’re truly brave if you think watching more Pooh-centric films will rid your mind of that wretched tune. Although I must say, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh does have its nostalgic charms—just enough to make even someone like me crack a faint smile. But Christopher Robin? Really? What’s next, you’re going to start collecting antique honey pots and crying over stuffed bears? Pitiful.

Ah, yes—TV Guide Magazine’s 60 Greatest Cartoons. I’ve seen the list, and it’s a complete farce! No He-Man? Disgraceful! But what can you expect from people who put a lightning-rod rodent like Pikachu ahead of true heroes? And don’t even get me started on Arthur. I’ve had more terrifying days at the dentist.

And don’t remind me of that blonde-haired monstrosity She-Ra. What a waste of valuable screen time. As for CBBC, well... British, sure, but let’s not kid ourselves, Sybil. CBBC is merely a temporary distraction for the masses. Now, if it aired shows featuring more dark magic and creepy creatures, then we’d be onto something.

Now, don’t get too cozy with your precious Pooh films. I might just send another little surprise your way. You never know when I’m feeling inspired.

Yours mischievously, Luella
