My Trip Out With Sally According to Simba

A real trip out? That's what occurred in Sybil's head the moment she realized Sally would be spending time at her house for the day. My name's Simba, and I'm here to tell you all.
The day started like normal, with a trip to ASDA. Remember when Elsa - y'know, the girl with the mane of hair and the loud voice - had a mega-feast of sweets and chocolate with her little sister Pippa? Well, Sybil did the same. She asked Sally for sausage rolls, milk bottle sweets, Cadbury's Flake, Peperami and Coke. I wish I lived in that bed-and-breakfast hotel Elsa stayed at before the fire, then I could have that mega feast. I just heard Sybil confessing that she wants to try apple juice and bacon rolls for breakfast, just like Pippa...
In the car, they thought up new story ideas which they could put in their new notebook. First, they thought up two stories based on the new Christmas toys of Sally's sons JJ and Reece - the Goodnight Chase and Marshall toys. For Reece, there could be a story where he and Chase go camping together in Adventure Bay Forest, and for JJ, there would be a story where he and Marshall have a sleepover.
Next, they saw two black highland cows in the field, which inspired them to think up Blackhorn & Benny, about two Spanish bulls who long to reunite in the field they were born. Blackhorn is an expert bullfighter, while Benny helps out at the local grocery store.
The final story idea of the day was the best one according to Sally, named 'Two Little Sausages'. It was about a dystopian future where dogs take over the world and have become morbidly obese from eating too many sweets and crisps and watching TV shows like The Dog Whisperer. In order to get dogs living with their owners again like they used to, the only hope is to get two dogs named Haggis and Bonnie up on their paws and exercising.
Next, they went home, and Sybil treated Sally to watching Scream Street while discussing their ideas further. You can read about my adventures with Luke, Resus and Cleo in the last blog entry. However, Sally's misunderstanding of Luke and Resus' origins caused Sybil to have a mental breakdown - y'know, because she's autistic - so Sally had to spend ten minutes in the living room with her mum and grandma while she recorded all her ideas down in her new notebook.
When Sally came back in, that's when the heartwarming part happened. While watching Wall-E, the story that inspired Two Little Sausages, and Finding Nemo, that's when Sybil made the greatest sacrifice of her life - giving one of her notebooks to her support workers. With that, they talked about how school was going recently, and Sally's group, who was learning about climate change and the environment. Sybil recommended she'd watch the Hey Duggee episode 'The Green Planet Badge' with her group to further understand the issue and use everyone's favourite plump brown hound to show how the environment depends on us. You can watch it right here on iPlayer:
Remember, the more acts of kindness we do for each other, the more acts of kindness we do for our planet.
I'm so proud of Sybil for doing this great deed, and you should be too. For someone who refuses to give up her notebooks, she made the right choice. Well done, Sybil! Anyway, my dad's calling me. I'd better go.
"Simba!"
Goodbye!

Scream Street Meets The Lion King

I was bored, so I wrote this fun crossover between Scream Street and The Lion King for your reading pleasure!
While helping Eefa work on a spell, Luke, Resus and Cleo open a portal that transports them to the Pride Lands. They instantly encounter Simba, Zazu, Timon, Pumbaa, Nala and Kiara, and thus, a new journey for everyone's favourite lion - and everyone's favourite werewolf-vampire-mummy trio - begins!

Find out where I got the idea from:

Let's Hop To It, Man! My Things From Kardz & When I Had Lunch At Sea

Let's hop to it! No, this isn't CGi Peter Rabbit, this Peter will be very different when I talk about it - it's the Peter Rabbit we all know and love!
So, I went to Kardz in Alness and found a sparkly silver notebook - perfect for writing down your plans and schemes - and two Peter Rabbit diaries. Libby said I could buy a small Peter Rabbit diary - perfect! There were heart shaped balloons behind the counter, and I was fine with this. Minutes later, we had lunch by the sea. I had some tasty-looking Walls' sausage rolls, chocolate waffles, Malteser's Mini Bunnies and Raspberry Ribena. Those were my two favourite parts of the day, and here's what I thought about while eating:

Army - 6 Creative Ways To Help Kids Cope With Deployment

Two years before he met Jack, Rusty missed his father. He was away at Syria fighting in the war, so every day Rusty would video call him or write him letters saying what he's been up to each day, such as the time when he played Mums & Dads with Indy. Now, thanks to Jack, he was able to see his father up close and personal again. He's not supporting America, he's supporting Australia, and I'm supporting Scotland. Support your kids during deployment with these activities!

Butterflies - Butterfly Snack Bags

Whenever I thought about Butterflies two years ago, I thought about Bluey and Bingo prancing around in butterfly wings and antennae, but all this time it was Bluey and her neighbour Judo playing at crawling out of a hammock. What you really didn't know was that Judo and her mum love to make butterfly snack bags so, whenever Judo is at school, she takes these snacks with her to impress her friends.

Mickey Sandwiches & A Cow's Life

Here are two things I've found whilst scouring the internet: a recipe for open-faced caprese sandwiches, complete with pictures of Mickey-shaped watermelon and cheese, and a comic for 'A Cow's Life' featuring a group of kids who learn why leather made from animals is bad for the environment. This lunchtime, feel free to make these Mickey Mouse sandwiches, but sometime later today, find out why cows are killed to be turned into leather!🐄

Mum School - 50 Easy Ways To Be A Fantastic Parent

Whenever Chilli attends a PTA meeting, she likes to flash back to the time when she tried to foster Bluey's development when her precious pup was a baby. She consulted doctors, parenting books and even Nana for advice, while Bandit struggled with setting up play areas, baby harnesses and trying to get Bluey to go to sleep. Luckily, Coco's mum gave her one word of advice parents of the future can live by forever more: "You're doing great."
Now, if you're a new parent, try your best and these 50 easy steps on how to become a proper parent, just like Chilli.

Spy Game - Flower Petal Potions

Bluey, Bingo, Indy, Luke, Resus, Cleo and I love to gather up flower petals to make potions, so our room, whoever we're making it for, smells lovely and fresh. When Luella gathers up flower petals, she doesn't want Eefa to know that she's going au naturale, so she spends a little time in nature. These flower potions can make lovely aromas a lot more easier, because they're so natural they'll make you want to get back to nature.

New Every Tuesday & Wednesday

Just like how Disney+ puts up new stuff every Wednesday or Friday, every Tuesday and Wednesday I'll give you a new chapter in my first two 'proper debut' stories!

Every Tuesday morning, I'll give you a new chapter of I.B.F.Fs: Imaginary Best Friends Forever, and I'll let you know when it's time for Lucid Raccoon to publish it...if they accept it...
Every Wednesday morning, I'll bring you a few vignettes a day of I.B.F.Fs: Friendship Bites, just like I did today, based on two pages a week of the Scream Street Joke Book.

I won't be doing I.B.F.Fs next Tuesday, but next Wednesday I'll bring you more I.B.F.Fs: Friendship Bites. See you then!

All At Sea

Imaginative minds are like absorbent nappies - they soak in every single thing you think up, even something you've been wanting to work on forever, like the Disney crew when it came to Walt Disney's Fantasia project. That's exactly what Tish's mum is working on: an advert for nappies, but she's lost her inspiration, and only Tish and Tash can help her out! A trip to the Neon Sea might refresh Rosa's memory, and help her find inspiration through imaginative play.

I.B.F.Fs: Friendship Bites - Here Sir/Hunchback/Understand Them Better/Dig Vs. Roger

Dr. Skulley takes the register to see if all his pupils are present, but they're too focused on other things.📓

The students discuss Disney films while writing a 300-word essay on The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.🌟

Dr. Skulley performs a ritual to get his students to understand Chucker and Basher better. Anyone miss them?❓

And finally, Dig steals school bully Roger's hot dog, causing a wild chase around the playground.🍔

My Trip Out With Charlotte According To Boo The Hedgehog

Hello there, I'm Boo the Hedgehog. You may recognise me from one of Sybil's childhood favourite shows, Bill & Ben, but now I'm here to tell you about her trip out with Charlotte today.
It all started when they went to Brora. Unfortunately, it was shut, so it was off to Charlotte's house for breakfast since Sybil hasn't had anything to eat this morning. To pass the time while Charlotte was shopping, Sybil did an I.B.F.Fs story named 'The Squeaky Lion's Den'. The Squeaky Lion's Den is a place Sybil named when the Tish Tash episode 'Bobby World' aired on CBeebies, my old home. You can watch it on iPlayer after you've read this blog entry if you want.
When they went to Charlotte's house, Sybil ate four bacon rolls in one go since she was so hungry, and told Charlotte the story of the world Tish visited in this morning's Tish Tash - the Land Of Darkness. It's a dark, inverted variant of our world. In her story, Cleo goes missing and it's up to her, Luke and Resus to find it, only to go into a warped version of their world where everyone seems nice and smiling, but are actually evil - they've tied Cleo up and left her for dead! As with Bobby World, you can watch Shadow House on iPlayer and see the world Sybil included in her story.
Before they left for Helmsdale, Charlotte gave Sybil her spiced apple candle and a soft white feather from one of her hens. The spiced apple candle has quite a cosy scent - just what you need to spruce up your home during the Winter.
At Helmsdale, the two went out looking for magical red stones that can reflect the sunlight. Our story doesn't end there, because Sybil met a woman with two dogs which she called Haggis and Bonnie. Charlotte liked to call them 'Two Little Sausages'. They spotted more 'Sausages' as they went home - Curly Sausages, Pretty Sausages and Fat Blubbery Sausages (seals). Sybil came home pretty exhausted from all that, and decided to take a nap.
I must be going because I heard that Bill & Ben have played another trick on Slowcoach again...heard that Slowcoach's voice actor was in two of Sybil's favourite shows, Scream Street and Strange Hill High. Goodbye!
