Where The Heart Is

"Wow!"
"Oooh!"
"Look at that!"

Pretty unique, huh? Yesterday has to be the best and most exhausting day of my life, not since I saw those Supermarionation series on Talking Pictures TV. The day started with a surprise - to be honest, the day was full of surprises. At the chemist, I got two new toothbrushes without telling my support worker. I also stayed calm when there was a baby and a toddler in there. Vic - I mean, er, POO PANTS!

Then I surprised my support worker yet again by asking her to take me to Tesco and get me some sausage rolls, Pom Bears, chocolate milk, body wash and - wait for it - BLUEY CUPCAKE MIX, for lunch! I can't eat the cupcake mix and the body wash together, but it emits chemicals, but the Cussons body wash I got might have something to do with a certain Nutbrown Hare duo...

And then, after our picnic...
Get ready, this is the best bit...
AMAZING! I went to T T Retro! It had absolutely everything in there, from comics to action figures to VHS tapes like the ones you're seeing above, it had absolutely every single character you could ever dream of! Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds, Power Rangers, The Lion King, Pokemon, Toy Story, Doctor Who, Stingray, Andy Pandy, Joe 90, Fireball XL5, Digimon, Stitch, almost EVERYTHING WAS THERE! I couldn't contain my excitement when I went in, for I knew that was the exact place where my heart belonged. I was so excited, and the shop owners were so friendly, I wanted to stay there for years and years and years! I wanted to buy almost everything in there! My favourites were:

The Andy Pandy VHS tape
The Simba plush
The Oliver the kitten plush
The Harry Potter Gryffindor lion plush
And ALL THOSE COMICS!!

And then, to make our day even better, I lead Sally to the sweet shop which was down the road towards Rumbly Town.
It was named Mama Gail's, and it was like we stepped into another world! My bladder was heaving with excitement, and I picked sweets of my choice. The shop owners were just as friendly as the ones in T T Retro, which was also the best place in the world, and guess what?

Their sweet shop won so many awards! Wow! Mind you, if I were to get an award for one blog, it would be ScreamBlue.

But the sad footnote?
I experience Gut-Brain Axis. My head hurt, my tummy churned and it felt like I needed to pee, so when I got home I went to the toilet, took some paracetamol and had a nice little sleep.

And thus, my head was out of ideas.
And now, here's T T Retro's new theme song, as chosen by moi:
