    SCD - pleased the standing ovations have been slightly moderated, but I still feel it's too early in the series for any.

    Best performance of the night was undoubtedly Ola Jordan. DVO was excellent too.

    Couldn't stop looking at Louis Smith's strange hat. Looked like an ill-fitting toupee, or shoe brush.

    Felt that was Nicky Byrne harshly marked. Felt sorry for Karen Hauer, new, and her second week for a roasting, not deserved. His performance had gusto and was worth a lot more than 3. And Micheal Vaughan was harshly marked too.

    Who's going out. Well, the couple who come bottom of the judges leaderboard always attract a lot of public votes. This may also apply to positions #2 and #3 from the bottom, especially if those people are popular characters. The bottom 2 were Nicky Byrne and Micheal Vaughan, I've just said they were harshly marked. The public will think so too. Therefore I am predicting that the dance-off this week will be between #4 and #5 from the bottom, Johnny Ball and Richard Arnold. Because it's now a dance-off, the judges will then make a rational decision between those two. They will evict Johnny Ball, partly because this will save the all complications with Aliona's ankle.

    So it will bye-bye Johnny.

    It rained here yesterday, despite a good forecast. But it's definitely wall-to-wall sunshine today.

  • Morning All.

    FROSTYimage Brrrrr - here this morning, will be busy today getting tender plants undercover, if I'm not too late.

    Thought SCD was a good show last night, Louis Smith had what I thought was a rather peculiar hairdo. I think he had had the lower part of his head shaved and the rest shaped? I thought it look very odd, but then perhaps that's the fashionimage good performance though. I have really warmed to Darcey, she gives good constructive advice. The music is excellent too.

    Bruce was just as cringe making as usual, believe it or not he actually has someone to write for him. I'd change scriptwriter if I were him. As for who's going this week, I wouldn't like to say, maybe Johnny Ball, or Michael Vaughan, but they both try and are lovely competitors. Time will tell.

    Have a good day cyber friends.

    Morning everyone . Lovely day here  image, clear skies and sunshine but think we also had a frost last night. I can see little patches near the woods.

    Couldn't find anything to watch on T.V. last night. Given up on X.F and not a lover of S.C.D. Ended up trawling through some old gardening mags for inspiration next year. Don't know whether or not to grow stuff like cobaea anymore as the weather has been so wet. Have been reading due to weather cycles that we can expect our summers to be wetter from now on.image Please, please let them be wrong.

    Off visiting today so will catch up later. Enjoy your day, everyone. image

    I also saw some news reports, this week, saying that we should expect more dismal Summers:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/9599109/Arctic-winds-caused-Britains-washout-summers.html

    However, on many notable previous occasions, long range weather predictions, for Summers and Winters, have been completely wrong.

    So, on past form, if experts say wet, then it should turn out dry.

    But it does make garden planning a bit tricky. All of those optimisticly planted Mediterranean beds have not been such a good idea (so far).
