Put Your Shoes On With Lazy Ninja!

  • Putting your shoes on is very important for when you're tidying the room of someone who has gone to hospital. It gets more help done for someone who has felt unwell from a bad night's sleep - and will even comfort him or her in the process!
  • You can also put your shoes on to hold the dog by the door as someone comes in. That way, it can avoid him or her dashing out to grab something that's meant for him if it's the postie.
  • DON'T: put your shoes on when you're wanting to do something upsetting, like visit an elderly relation in the hospital. It can seriously upset you - and going with a support worker who demands you need exercise? Hmmmmm, it's good, but sometimes an extra pair of shoes would come in handy.

Balto

The animator draws Balto in this story, and directs him out of the cave and into the snowy wilderness, where he goes on a quest of self-discovery to find his inner heart, and how even wolves were once human too. 

Fritz The Cat

The animator draws Fritz The Cat from the ink in the Inky Pool. Fritz visits a building site where he tries to work, but suddenly his STD and severe itching get the best of him. The animator tells him several tips on how to cope with diseases that cause itching, including occasional doctor visits.

The Easter Egg Hunt

It's the day of the annual Easter Fair and Mackenzie and I are teammates for the Easter Egg Hunt. However, on our quest to find the most eggs, we let the other teams have their fair share of the eggs they find too.

Cake Fight

On Scott's birthday, he shoves a wad of his birthday cake into my face. As a result, a whole cake fight erupts in the lounge on Tracy Island, and while Tin Tin, Alan, Brains and I are having the most fun, Scott storms off having failed his trick, with Virgil and Gordon in tow.

The Fair

Lady Penelope, Parker, Slomo and I go to spend a fun day at the fair together, and I am excited to ride the rides and get a stick of yummy candyfloss - but when Parker and Slomo run off together, Lady Penelope and I attempt to find him.

Angry Ninja - Tips For Anger

Feeling angry? Try the 1 + 3 + 10 technique, and then say these phrases for these difficult situations:
  • Pressing The Wrong App: "I am angry and upset because I pressed the wrong app."
  • Nearly clicking on another Google Calendar event by mistake: "I was almost angry and upset because I clicked on another event on Google Calendar."
  • Confusion over headphones: "I'm nearly angry and confused over the kerfuffle which tells me which headphones were mine."
  • Wrong images on an AI chat: "I am upset because (name of AI chatbot) won't show me images of (name of subject) as requested."
  • When a family member sneezes a JUMPSCARE of a sneeze: "I was about to be angry because [family member] sneezed and made me jump, but if I wear my ear defenders, none of this would happen."

Positive Ninja - Tips For Positivity

  • If some stories make you tired, save them to one side and do them next time.
  • If someone says you can't do things for yourself, don't worry - you CAN do it. Things like buttering toast and writing stories are really easy to some hands.
  • Missed your favourite show? Don't worry! Record them on your Sky Box, or watch them on a streaming service you have signed up to.
  • Some people get scared when they see spiders right up close. But when I'm sitting on the sofa, I'm far away from it. You should too - after you've killed it.
  • Always wash your hands right after you go to the toilet before breakfast - it prevents the spread of germs on food that might make you really sick.
  • Find commercials overwhelming and annoying? Then go to their websites or watch their sponsorship idents!
  • Even though Thunderbirds, Stingray and Fireball XL5 are not on Talking Pictures TV at the moment, don't worry - you can see them on DVD instead, or on a streaming service like Amazon Prime or ITVX.
  • When a family member who denies you freedom has gone to hospital - like with my GM right now, be lucky - you have a chance in your life where you're free!
  • Got an episode stuck in your head? Breath out all negative thoughts of the episode into your pretend balloon and then send it off to Canada. After that, think about something else instead - I now think about the Tweenies specials Night Time Magic and Jungle Adventure sometimes.
  • If you have a tickly cough in your throat, find something to drink immediately. This takes away the tickling sensation inside your throat, and eases coughing.
  • Can't buy anything from the Gerry Anderson website? Not a problem! You still have that Space 1999 or Thunderbirds T-shirt lingering somewhere, as well as the Gerry Anderson website and Youtube channel. Happy viewing!
  • Fearing your day will spiral out of control and end in disaster, making it a very bad day? Just reassure yourself after you've sent your balloon off to Canada that everything will be okay, and today will turn out perfectly well.
  • If your Mum is too sick to visit you at bedtime, snuggle under the covers and listen to an audiobook, like Harry Potter, Disney, Kipper, Whatever Next, etc.. It'll send you off to sleep in no time!

Slomo's Positivity Tip - What Happens When Mum Can't See You At Bedtime?

If your mum is sick and can't come to see you before bed, the positive thing to do is relax and listen to an audiobook. You'll feel really sleepy, and in no time at all, you'll be asleep all the way until 5 in the morning!

This song will remind you just how important a story is from your electronic device at bedtime:
"Mum can't come and visit me,
'Cause she's sitting quietly,
I think I'll listen to a book
From my computer android nook!"
