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)

Ice Sk8

This is Ice Sk8, or, Sk8ter Boi as the press calls him. He always likes to visit the Arctic so he can practice his awesome snowboarding and ice surfing skills. He's so super duper awesome, no wonder he won many trophies 1,000 Equestrian times in a row!

18 Nightmare Inducing Childhood Shows (WARNING: THIS WILL SHOCK YOU!)

On my blog, I stand up for classics that have been cherished by millions. Unfortunately not everyone agrees and when I came upon this article by Cracked, they made fun of not just Thunderbirds, but Rosie & Jim, Teletubbies and so much more.

To highlight how much Thunderbirds and other shows mean to you, I've decided to actually put this article on my blog.

THIS WILL SHOCK YOU.

The Dubstep Terror

In the cold vacuum of Space, dubstep is outlawed, but the Second Doctor AKA Two along with his companions Polly, Jamie, Vinyl, Octavia and Pinkie Pie head off to a planet named Skrill, where everyone parties like there's no tomorrow...but beware the Macra, he doesn't like loud dubstep and prefers easy listening.

Can Two and his friends use the power of friendship to change its mind?

Transformers: The Animated Review

Transformers Animated - The Arrival #1 by Marty Isenberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Totally cool and awesome comic. Having seen the Transformers Animated series on Nicktoons as a kid, I was desperate to pick this up. I only had to make a few stops to read it because reading it in the car makes me sick! My favourite part of the comic was Bulkhead's page, specially the bit where he looks at modern art at an art gallery.

Would highly recommend if Bayformers is too much for introverted Transformers fans.

Tired Ninja: A Review

Tired Ninja: A Children's Book About How Being Tired Affects Your Mood, Focus and Behavior by Mary Nhin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I got this book when I felt sick.
It gave some useful tips for when I feel tired due to sickness, with the 4 E's, as explained by our main hero himself. My favourite tip is brain dumping and doing to do lists in a journal.

So cosy.
I think the world needs more Mouse & Mole more than they are ever reading any other cosy novel - quite simple really, and perfect for reading to overstimulated kids.

Totally recommend.

Mouse & Mole Have A Review

Mouse and Mole Have a Party by Joyce Dunbar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Like Lo & Behold, Mouse & Mole's Party is a very cosy read - no sudden surprises or loud noises, just lessons on handling depression, aging and least expecting things in a way everyone can understand, not just kids, but grown ups too.

Totally recommend.

Terror Time Toys: A Review

 

Grizzly Tales: Terror-Time Toys: Cautionary Tales for Lovers of Squeam! by Jamie Rix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Terror Time Toys is more than just a horror anthology for kids. It's a sinisterly clever series of fables about greed, gluttony, domestic abuse and tech addiction that would get kids to change their ways...or else! The bits shoved in by the narrator (Uncle Grizzly) are annoying though, but a good read.
