Strictly Blogging

Hello Everyone!
 Just a quickie this morning.
But not so quick that I haven't time to welcome new followers Annie, Mrs G, Carol in Cairns and Sweffling. Also AKM Evans on Blog Lovin.  Lovely to see you here.

 Just got in from feeding the animals and about to take a shower, because I am going out for the day.
At 10.30 ED is picking me up to take me, her daughter and mother in law to the NEC in Birmingham for the "Strictly Come Dancing" tour thingy. Now I'm not a great fan of the razamataz and truly believe that Bruce should retire (TV show) but I am fond of ballroom dancing. Not that I do any nowadays, you understand. As a child my best friend, J. and I would go once a week to the Millicent Simmons School of Dancing in Derby ( we were about 10 at the time) and in my mid teens D. and I went every Saturday night to Victor Sylvestor's studio over the Gaumont in Derby. Ooooh heady days and best shoes! Then I started Art college and everything like that seemed facile. ( I think D. was secretly pleased,as he was nowhere near as good a dancer as I!)
When I get back it will be a swift run around the laundry and probably clear up after D. and Adam and then we are off to friends for the evening.
I hope that I will manage a more coherent post tomorrow.
Thanks for the comments yesterday they are much appreciated.
Back Soon and in the words of Brucie
Keeeeep Blogging!!!

    Hope you enjoy the show. I used to feel like that about Bruce but a friend]s daughter works on the show and so my friend often gets to see it live and she says that Bruce is absolutely amazing when you see how he holds the whole thing together.

      Lisa Riley hosted the show this time. It was a Herculean task actually, which she performed well

      It was better than the TV show, mainly because the singers, who are extremely good, were featured. They came out onto the floor and were given the attention they never get on the TV

      The arena is HUGE isn't it? The major drawback was the sparsity of loos for the numbers of people ! I tend to judge venues by the loo facilities nowadays.. Can't think why!

    I would have to be dragged screaming, handcuffed, and probably on a stretcher, to see that show. Maybe it's a 'man' thing.

      Tee Hee I expected you to say that and you are in complete agreement with my husband who "won't have that rubbish on my tele"
      In truth, I would never have bought a ticket myself !

      I was trying to be diplomatic.
