11 Things For Mourning Thunderbirds On Talking Pictures TV

As soon as one adventure ends...

...another begins.

And I'm not talking about 2025!

I'm talking about Stingray, Fireball Xl5 and Captain Scarlet.

Here's my list:

A box of tissues
A cozy blanket
Comfort snacks (e.g., chocolate or biscuits)
A favorite Thunderbirds DVD or Blu-ray set
A notebook for writing thoughts or tributes
A Thunderbirds soundtrack or theme song playlist
A mug of tea, hot chocolate, or favorite drink
A quiet, relaxing space
A Thunderbirds-related book or magazine
A soft toy or cushion for comfort
Time to reflect and plan a rewatch next year

Christmas Happiness Tip For Full Bellies & Bad Nights

Cozy up on the couch and watch a comforting Christmas movie with soft blankets and fairy lights.

My obvious choice of movie is Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas.

Tea & Tender Words

Lady Penelope and I are at a cafe.

We’re sharing tea and cakes.

I’m supposed to be happy.

Instead, I’m crying into a hankie.

Penelope always understands me.

She comforts me.

“There there, now, darling, I’m here.”

“Thanks, Penelope.”

“Whatever can be the matter?”

At first, I try to let out words.

I am silent.

Then…

“I saw Chilli crying.”

“Where did you see her do that?”

“On a playdate with Bluey and Bingo.”

“I see.”

“I was playing with Bluey and Bingo.

I saw Chilli looking at a photo album.

She was very young in these photos.

She was with her sister Brandy.

Mort was also in these photos.

I didn’t want her to be sad.

I started crying too.

Bluey and Bingo didn’t want me to be sad.

I was so upset, Parker took me home.”

“Don’t worry, my little angel,” smiles Penelope.

“It’s all in the past.

It’s okay to feel different emotions on a playdate.

You can feel happy.

You can feel sad.

What matters most is the feeling of togetherness.”

I smile and wipe away my tears.

I hug Penelope gently.
