Nov. 17th, 2019 09:58 amI really enjoyed Strictly last night, but suspect either Michelle or Chris is going. I have to admit, I'm enjoying Chris more and more each week, both his very enthusiastic amateur dancing and as a person. Plus, his accent is so comforting to me and reminds me of home each time I hear him speak. He posted a pic on Insta of him and his wife at the Costco we go to, and now I keep imagining bumping into him there one day.
Apparently the last no tags story will be uploaded today meaning the collection will be complete, and what a great collection it is. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else guesses mine. I say anyone else as Turlough has already guessed mine correctly via email and had only skimmed the stories at the time. But, I'm putting that down to having known me and my writing for a million years.
It's been raining hard all night but there's no splashed water on the window, so I'm saying the gutter cleaning has worked, so, it was well worth the cost.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Last Christmas at the cinema. It's everything I love in a Christmas film and is going to be cheesy as hell, so bring it on! James has his last 2am finish tonight then is off for three days, so I've been contemplating going tomorrow. But, he's also got his next counselling session at 5 then we're at the theatre straight after. So suspect Tuesday will be more realistic. But, Tuesday I'm there, cheesy Christmas film, Christmas coffee from Costa, happiness.
Like many people I've been waiting to see the new John Lewis Christmas advert, and I like it, Edgar the pyromaniac dragon is fun. I also like Asda's for how magical it is, the one for Sainsburys, though it take a while to get going and the McDonalds one is lovely. But, my favourite so far just for being a bit different is for Ikea. This is very very, very very, very very very very unacceptable
Talking of. I'll be putting up my Christmas card poll later today. I know a lot of people don't send them now but I still love Christmas cards and enjoy sending them.

I'm really worried for Michelle - that was such a fierce, fabulous performance and it obviously meant so much to her, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people won't get it at all. We shall see this evening!

Date: 2019-11-17 04:33 pm (UTC)Yeah, it is a relief. I was worried about the winter setting in before we could get them cleaned, but now they're all done and dusted. And, next door got there's done at the same time so no water coming from their gutters either.
Yeah, it was obvious she put her heart and soul into that dance, but that means nothing in terms of the voting public. If they go on ability Chris should go, I'd be disappointed if he did, but I think he'd admit himself he's the worst dancer left now.
Bonus points for the show last night were the utter bewilderment of some of the pros when Sooty was doing the terms and conditions. That cracked me up.
