Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Journal - 10.5.21

On Christmas With The I.B.F.Fs: Altogether Now, Nana gets the video call working on her phone, so I can call not only our families, but also our friends, starting with Dog and Pug. I was inspired by those 'snowed-in' episodes of kids' TV shows and video chats used during lockdown to make this story.

I'm not watching this morning's airing on 'Magic Xylophone'. Why? Because of a realistic depiction of a dog's head on Duggee in the 'Hey Duggee' episode 'The Glasses Badge'. I'd rather be watching a Yakka Dee episode than this garbage.

Sound On, Bluey!

I just watched Bluey with the sound on yesterday, and it was a major breakthrough, especially when I got to hear the Australian accents for the first time. Bluey and the other kids sounded really adorable, and Dad made some excitably witty comments. The episodes I saw are 'Camping', 'Mums & Dads', 'Asparagus', 'The Beach', 'Grannies', 'Shadowlands', 'The Weekend', 'Fruit Bat' and 'Tickle Crabs'. What really strikes me is the music in each episode - they always fit the games Bluey plays with her friends and family, and to me, they sound wonderful. I think the music for 'Camping', 'The Weekend' and 'Tickle Crabs' sounds a lot like the music in the videos below.

My fashion line for tween girls will feature cool images of Luke, Resus, Cleo and a teenage Bluey and Bingo wearing shades on every T-shirt, pair of jeans and pyjamas.

Odd Recall

Last Saturday while watching one of the Odd Squad segments on Saturday Mash Up, it involved a knight made out of rock who made roaring noises that are identical to that of Luke's werewolf form in Scream Street. Just like what happened to my friend Nothing in the clip above, the Mobile Unit Squad trying to fight off the knight brought happy memories of when Resus and Cleo used Luke's werewolf to get out of a devious monster house. I miss them already...😔

Introducing...Nana!

Dad is dumb, Mum is smart, but Nana is wise as the ones you'd look to and let bake a whole batch of chocolate cookies. It's here on the CBeebies website that she makes her first appearance on a video call, and this is an exact representation of what happens these days when your kids Zoom call! I promise that someday, the episode 'Grannies' will air on CBeebies, I trust you.

The Happiness Project - 2021 - 9.5.21

I got a swollen head and nearly stopped breathing because I was colouring too much.

One Line A Day - 2021 - 9.5.21

Too much colouring is making my head swell up. It's also nearly causing me to stop breathing. Colouring is DEADLY!

Express Yourself - 9.5.21

I feel like my head is swelling up from doing too much colouring. Maybe it's just my hormones relaxing....

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Journal - 9.5.21

It's been three weeks, and CBeebies has been using Bluey to teach parents and children about exploring, pranks, brotherhood, LGBTQ rights, peace, friendship, growing up and freedom through everyday play. Just the sort of lessons kids want to learn, and those three weeks have been great.

I have a swollen head from doing too much colouring!

I also have a plan to watch 10 of my favourite things on Disney+ as Glamour Magazine suggests, one of these things is Pixar Pop Corn, which is an anthology series that saw Pixar's characters getting into all sorts of hijinks, from dancing to doing household chores. I'm watching Bluey first though.

The truth that I wet my pants and wore football knickers, and a dare to toilet paper someone's house.
