Five Minutes' Peace

I'm not talking about Jill Murphy's best-selling book starring the long-suffering Mrs. Large and her mischievous trio of children, I'm talking about a similar dream featuring me trying to have five minutes' peace from my friends Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Tiny, Small and Kipper. As you can imagine, if you have roommates or children they can be just as noisy or annoying as they possibly can, even if they are your favourite TV characters, but hey, they still can be good friends....right?

First, I tried to have five minutes peace in the bath, which was of course big enough for all ten of us - me and my I.B.F.Fs. This was just like in the book, but unfortunately, the I.B.F.Fs were desperate to join in, so I played with them in the warm water. I just had to, they're my friends after all. Later on, I tried to have five minutes' peace in bed, but my friends felt very tired and have had a long day, so I had to invite them into bed to sleep with me - it felt very cozy and tranquil.

I think all that talk about Five Minutes Peace reminds me of a new story, 'Wakey Wakey Bear', about a lazy bear who doesn't want to be disturbed by his forest friends. For now, I'm fine with the dream I have about sharing in Five Minutes' Peace with my I.B.F.Fs.

A New Story For Brora

The Swan

This story is all about a little girl who goes out rowing one day, but her boat springs a leak. Luckily, she is rescued and befriended by a swan who takes her to her nest at the edge of the riverbank. She sees a lot of eggs and feels they will hatch really soon - she covers them with twigs and leaves with the swan's help to protect them from predators.

Grateful for her help, the swan takes the girl out for ice cream.

WHY?!

Newsround has been going on about these rainforest fires for days now, I wish they'd STOP!

I have great respect for the rainforest, and dream about living wild and free there in my dreams, especially with my friends. I do NOT want to hear any more about rainforest fires! Please stop this, Newsround!

A Children's Land Of Make Believe

I just found an amazing video featuring audio of tape with a catchy version of 'The Yellow Elephant', a song I never heard before, which I absolutely adore. Have a listen yourself:

It's Not Just CBBC That Is Undergoing Changes Next Week...

CBeebies is also getting in on the action with the return of its shows Mister Maker's Arty Party, School Of Roars, Tinga Tinga Tales and Our Family. In fact, I prefer seeing Scream Street on CBBC but I've yet to see School Of Roars, in fact I did see a short starring Wufflebump when on holiday last year, and still to this day I'll never forget our holiday in the cottage.

Here's the exciting schedule change for CBeebies next week:

I'm mostly excited for next month's weekday airings of Scream Street on CBBC, as it's something I'll remember, just like the first time I saw it. The first time I saw it, it held a special place in my heart, and now I feel proud I've seen CBBC last year in its new 2016 look. Even though I'm an adult, I'm going to be like Sarah and watch CBBC and CBeebies for the rest of my life, and like Grandma as now she records In The Night Garden. Scream Street, here I come!

Jungle Love

Last night, I think my dream prediction from yesterday did come true: it felt like I was staring at my own reflection or something, but my dream was so heavenly it involved me and my friend, Luke, raised in the jungle and still attracted towards one another in a romantic kind of fashion.

On some nights, we'd sneak away together whilst Resus and Cleo are still asleep and go down to the lake to stare deeply at our reflections in the cool water. We'd snuggle and hug together, and sometimes be playful and tickle each other.

Often, we'd go for a moonlit swim in either the ocean or the lake, wherever we decide, and enjoy swimming in the darkness of the ocean under the clear moonlight.

For us, living in the jungle is really peaceful, and will help us feel at one with ourselves.

I.B.F.F Diaries '17 - 8th February 2017 - No Boys In The Worst Witch!

Everyone knows there are no boys in The Worst Witch because it is geared towards girls. Or are there? Well, on the 8th of February 2017, Mildred and Luella lead us into finding out, as will be told in I.B.F.F Diaries '17.

Mildred and Luella complain about the lack of boys in The Worst Witch and decide to take drastic measures - for better or for worse. Luella casts a spell that turns Mildred into a boy, and when Mildred looks at himself in the mirror he screams and scolds Luella for doing the wrong thing, as they're supposed to add male cast members into The Worst Witch.

Luella and a fuming Mildred go to Cackles' Academy to see how their friends Maud and Enid are getting on, but all the students laugh at the inclusion of a boy in Cackles'. Mildred tries to explain that it was Luella's fault and that she turned him into a boy. "There are not supposed to be any boys in Cackles' in the first place, silly!" laughs Ethel. Disgusted, Mildred storms out and yells to the sky until Luella comes in and apologizes for what she had done, using a reverse version of the spell to turn Mildred back into a female again.

This was also the day the Scream Street episode 'Nightmare Neighbour' aired, so we spend the rest of the section with the I.B.F.Fs as they discuss what life would be like if they lived in each other's shoes for the rest of their lives, and Mitchell really agrees on living in Scream Street...and so do Becky and Templeton.

Just When You Thought OOglies & Diddy TV Made Toon Time On CBBC Annoying....

It's Scream Street! Hooray! Next week, CBBC is going to air Scream Street on weekdays right after Dennis & Gnasher Unleashed, and I am soooooooooooo excited! So get out of the way OOglies and Diddy TV, because I.B.F.Fs are coming back!

And what am I going to say to you, CBBC?

YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

The Magic Book

Imagine if you found something that made the world your way. I nearly forgot I had a dream last night, but then I suddenly realized: I have!

I was on a walk one day when I happened to stumble upon a book lying on the ground. But this was no ordinary book, it was a magic book with a pencil that allowed you to change the world your way. I was excited at that thought, and since the book had no words and just blank pages, I was super excited as it allowed me to change the world around me and decided to use its magic to change my world forever.

If I had that book right now, here's how I'd change the world for the better, my way:

• Make Netflix free to everyone and not cost a lot of money.
• Have a new dream every night.
• Stop loud, annoying noises.
• Change things I think are annoying and drive me mad.
• Make things appear out of nowhere.
• Make impossible things possible.
• Make new inventions, etc. time machine, teleportation machine.

And more! Imagine how many things you can change with this book!

The Mr Men Made Counting Fun...

Remember when the Mr Men taught listeners how to count? I found this cassette tape on Youtube and I thought I'd share it with those who have fond memories of this tape - I like the 'Diddle Diddle Dumpling' bit mostly.

What I Found On Netflix Whilst At Key....

I found a few new series on Netflix whilst at Key earlier: Go Dog Go, Dragons: Rescue Riders, Hello Ninja, StarBeam, What-To-Doodles, Izzy Bee's Koala World, Go! Go! Cory Carson and Emily's Wonder Lab. I just thought I'd blog about this just because I have a new interest in Netflix original series and Libby's son has Netflix installed on his TV.

Protection From The Rain

Remember that series of dreams I had where Luke, Resus, Cleo and I were feral children? Well, last night I had another dream about that topic, this time all about rain.

It was raining so hard in the jungle that we had to climb the tallest tree and see if our eagle friend's nest is alright. It is, so we went to check on it.

It proved okay, and the inside still looked very soft and cozy, as it was protected from heavy rain. We settled in the nest to wait for our friend, who was struggling through the wind and rain, but managed to return to her nest safely. She saw how cold and wet we were, and sheltered us with her gentle, feathery body, protecting us with her giant wings. If you were living in the jungle, I supposed you'd be protected by an eagle, too.
