See I thought it was odd to give the "urban" singer a euro pop song, actually a couple of odd 80's hits recycled tonight and as for Louis dig at Chris about the cruise
Last night's SCD. Am finding the standing ovations irksome. I think that one of the BBC audience prompters encourages the audience to do that. The scores seemed to be higher than on Friday, and CRH had obviously been spoken to.
Many of the performances seemed bland. By this morning I've forgotten most of them. No-one was outstandingly bad, or out to play the fool.
The two I liked best were - Jerry Hall. She had charisma and presence on the floor. Commentators sometimes talk of 'owning the floor'. She did. When Ms Geoff says 'look at this', that's what she meant.
And Louis Smith did a great job. He relaxed and smiled at the end of his performance too.
Must mention Lisa Riley - though don't quite know what to say about her. Very surprised that CRH and Darcey both gave her such high marks. She was exuberant, but was she so much better than everyone else technically.
A nice day forecast, am intending to tidy greenhouse, and move a few pots inside.
Are you all having a lazy morning?, it's very quiet here.
SCD was a bit better last night, As you say Gary, CRH must have been spoken, he seemed a lot nicer last night. I think Jerry Hall is so laid back, she'll have to improve. Not so many "Yeah"s from DB, thank goodness. It really grates, Bruce, no better
Beautiful morning here. I got lots done yesterday, bulbs planted, veg garden cleared up a bit, bean rows taken down by OH. He does most of the veg gardening and I supervise
Just going to get our treat of the week, a fry up, then nothing else until tea.
Becks -- Jess looked lovely, she is so cute. I bet she was worn out when she got home.
Not as messy a night as I predicted! but very enjoyable never the less!
Do not do telly, so cannot comment, but midweek conversations as stirred me to check out a 16 year old wee lass on XF who writes and performs her own stuff and is apparently, "absolutely outstanding"
Geoff! - Feel free to enlighten! Shall you-tube later!
Forcast is a good one! So coffee and plot bound! Major repairs to be carried out, and a full site survey in readiness of a full overall! Now this could get messy!
Morning all, you are right it is quiet here this morning, everyone must be in the garden. Lovely day here, still and sunny. Not sure what we are doing yet, so just having a relaxing hour on my own.
Oh poop. I posted earlier and my computer went silly, now I've got to start again.
SCD - Fast Forward if not your thing. Agree wholeheartedly about ridiculous standing ovations. What will the audience do when there's a really outstanding performance? I liked Lisa Riley, her exuberance and confidence made for an entertaining performance. At this early stage I enjoy the over-the-topness if the 'celebrity' has the personality to pull it off; for me, Russell Grant did and Ann Widdecombe didn't. 14 weeks of people earnestly doing correct steps would not make a good show. I think DB will be a good judge when she settles into it. She comes over as positive but with a determination to see things done properly.
Off to a Food Fair in a mo. Hoping to return laden with loads of tasty titbits and lots of cake and cheese!
I thought last night's Strictly was an improvement on the previous evening...most probably the improvement in Graig's attitude was no more than him seeing a playback of the previous show.
My favourite at this early stage (having now seen all of them) is Vincent Simone & Dani Harmer.
Standing ovations continue to annoy.....someone tell them that it's for performances like Jill Halfpenny & Darren's jive or Mark Ramprakash & Karen's Argentine tango.

I'm afraid Mrs Geoff wants see all the action-I say nothing so nothing can be said during the next programme
I think this year on XF we will witness the first live meltdown -there are now 3 candidates
I had forgotten about Bryan Ferry
Geoff you are a saint
I am afraid that I want to see one of them have a wicked witch of the west style meltdown.
Well split the tenner betweeen Jade,Ella and Jahmene on tonights showing.
Leona on tomorrow
