The Twenty-Ninth of May Two Thousand and Eleven. Sunday
I think if I'm in this for the long run I'd better pace myself. So sometimes my thoughts will be contained within shorter entries of a few well chosen words (Hmm, possibly). Also, wanting to be at the forefront of technology I am experimenting with transmitting this message from my phone in the hope that I will be able to share my ponderings with you even when away from home. To whit:
I caught a tribute to Elisabeth Sladen in the comic that No1 Son gets every week. And at the end of it were these simple, wise words that I thought were quite lovely to find in a children's comic:
'It's OK to be sad'
Then on the back was a checklist of all the stories Sarah Jane had appeared in - not just from her own recent series but also from when she had first appeared back in the Seventies. Because few things comfort a young version of a mind like mine more than a list.
I don't think it was cynical - not an entreaty to 'collect the set'. Rather I thought it was saying 'You know those brilliant adventures Sarah Jane has on the telly? Well there were earlier ones too that were just as good. Look out for them.'
A modern kids comic saying unhappiness is fine and you should seek out 35 year old TV classics.
Isn't that good?
More soonliest
