I wondered why I'd never seen one of these red Thunderbird 2's at a car boot sale. There's just 250 of them!
Made in 1999 by Vivid Imaginations, this Virgin Atlantic release was a limited edition blister carded toy.
Here's a carded one and a loose one I saw on auction.
What do you think?
Is it the only red TB2 toy?
It was an odd feeling hearing that ITV will be sold.
As a UK boomer kid ITV was so important for my 60's and early 70's telly watching. After all, there were only three TV channels back then in Blighty, ITV being one, providing no less than true icons like Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and The Avengers.
OK, regionalization of ITV meant that different names appeared on the box, like Anglia and LWT - where I lived in Preston it was Granadaland - but it was all ITV.
In the modern world of a million trillion stations available on everything with a screen ITV probably isn't that important now. It's not a channel I seek out myself anymore, so times have changed.
Anyways, ITV is sold. Another part of our childhood gone.

I like these little Japanese candy moguras.
They connect too!

I had to look twice at this dalekesque spacecraft online. I thought it might be a Major Matt Mason vehicle I don't know!
There's nothing quite like a Cuppa Soup. My fave is tomato.
A relatively new experience for me, I don't recall cup soups as a kid.
Like a spaceship powdered meal, It's fun to make them in the garden with Junior using a camping stove to heat the water. A camping thing too.
Do you cuppa soup?
What's it called where you are?
Well it's Saturday July 4th. I know what will that mean for our American readers. The big Independence Day weekend. Hope you're having fun across the pond.
Let us know how you're celebrating ... Or not!

It's a normal summer Saturday here in Blighty. We've a gardener in, Dave, trimming our hedges. Other than that not much happening today. I might make cheese on toast for a late breakfast.
What are you up to in your neck of the woods around the globe?
