I am sorry to say that Bluey isn't available on CBeebies' schedule for the 5th-9th April. At least School Of Roars is back with new episodes, though, that's fair. Hopefully she'll appear on next week's CBeebies schedule.

Little Baby - My Entry To The Bristol Short Story Prize Competition
About two days ago, I wrote down a remarkable story based on a Teletubbies episode named 'Little Baby', about a mother who finds the meaning of why she converted to parenthood through a Teletubbies episode. Now, today, since I found it via a selection of competitions on the Creative Writing Ink website (they're pu-retty good at hosting competitions), I'm entering it into the Bristol Short Story Prize competition:
I tried to make it as Jacqueline Wilson/Mum Minder-like as possible, with references to designs on Pampers and Huggies nappies, Heinz baby food and programmes from CBeebies like Mr. Bloom's Nursery, In The Night Garden and Something Special.

Movin' Out (Sybil's Song)
We're moving to the peace and serenity of Grandma's house! Yay! I'd like to talk about the memorable 24 hours of yesterday.
First, Sally came over and brought me some craft paper and some utensils to start scrapbooking with. I even got a Pritt Stick! The day I mentioned I wanted a Pritt Stick, it turns up right then and there!
In Bonar Bridge, after we brought Grandma her stuff in hospital, it was a picnic lunch: sandwiches and pork pies and scotch eggs and Penguins and Twirls and Coke. Oh boy, it was delicious, and I haven't been to the Salmon Place in almost a year. Tell that to Tug from Brother Bear, that fat black-furred oaf will know more about fishing than men ever learn.
Later, we picked up stuff from the house, and I was just taking my stuff and Christmas tree ornaments down when suddenly...
Due to my outrageous clumsiness, everything had fallen onto the floor and every single ornament that we have kept for years was broken. Luckily, Mum reassured me that accidents happen and we have to get used to them. I feel guilty, but the good news is I keep my favourite Toybox magazine with regular favourites like Odd Squad and Danger Mouse and my mega-favourite Scream Street in the cupboard now. I'll do the Scream Street sticker activity sometime soon, but I swear Danger Mouse sounds like Sonic The Hedgehog in the story in the magazine, and the spider in the new Danger Mouse reminds me of Louis the alligator from Disney's The Princess & The Frog. Welcome home, Scream Street.
Next, we went to Alness storage to collect some boxes to put all our other stuff from the old, noisy house in Golspie (AAAAARRGGHH!! I hate this place, the neighbours, dog and lawnmower drive me INSANE!) While there, I thought up a few new ideas for stories, like 'Little Baby', a true story of one parent's desire to change her life forever after seeing a Teletubbies episode, and the decision to put characters from Pop and Tiny Pop into the I.B.F.F Diaries stories since Miffy and Melanie are featured. Even Twilight Sparkle and her pony friends get featured, in a similar fashion to 'I.B.F.Fs: Movie Stars'. Sometimes, I wish Tiny Pop wasn't boring...
There was such a lot of boxes in the back of the car that I mentioned that the car would dramatically 'tip over' which made Mum and the owner of the company burst out laughing.
I also learned one very important thing: doing a blog, then writing is a much more clever way of keeping cool when in doubt, especially when you're as autistic as I am, and I'm already planning to do a 'Story Tree', a huge tree with ideas in its branches that make up my story. I'm going to have such a happy new life!

The Autism Chart
If you're autistic and have a bad temper like I do, then you should try another one of my great ideas: using Paw Patrol and Paddington reward charts to accomplish tasks like writing a blog entry then a story entry, doing a craft or trying to control your bad temper with a craft or DIY that's calming like bath teas or blacklight bubbles.

Bluey's Coming To CBeebies!
YASSSS!! Watch out, CBeebies, Sybil and Bluey are getting back together again!
Archie
While scouring through iPlayer, I happened to find this heart-touching short animation about a dog who visits his birthplace to reminisce over the good times he shared with his Auntie. It's good that CBeebies had put this on there to teach viewers about missing ones they love in a reassuring and loving way - almost as reassuring and loving as some of their Bedtime Stories, including Guess How Much I Love You, airing tomorrow, and Held In Love. Have a look!
I.B.F.Fs At The Aquarium Apology
I'm very sorry to tell you that due to my tiredness from going out two times today to take some things to Grandma in the hospital, I wasn't able to do I.B.F.Fs At The Aquarium. However, some things in life can still be done - I'll do I.B.F.Fs At The Aquarium someday soon, and I do not worry about doing it already. While you're waiting, perhaps you can make this lovely paper plate aquarium, with pretty little paper fish:
