Strictly Come Dancing

This is now a very rounded production, even Bruce is behaving.
Most enjoyable programme tonight, although I think Ms Bellingham should have been voted off.
I'd save Joe (the boxer) as his partner has a body well worth watching.
It looks to be a fascinating series, the winner will be Ali.

So called 'Celebrity Twitterers/Tweeters'

Twitter can be fun and informative... it can also be annoying.
I used to follow the usual suspects who have a Twitter account.
The ramblings were sometimes of interest but the incessant Twitting about where they are off to today, what they did this morning, etc really started to annoy.
I still get notifications that the likes of 'Sexy Sue' from 'Sweet Valley, Idaho' to say she is following me; I then promptly block them and let them pester some other 'sucker.'
Twitterings from the likes of 'Onion News' are good fun.

R.I.P. ~ Keith Floyd

Such a very sad day.
I enjoyed the documentary (with the abundance of Anglo-Saxon words).
He was the first of the WYSIWYG cooks (he never referred to himself as a 'chef')
I'll still watch his TV programmes and read my small collection of his books.
I'll buy his latest work (autobiography)
R.I.P.

It's the time for myths and partial truthfulness...

Chilly sort of day here is jolly old Leodis.
We've had a week or so of really nice what I call 'Madeiran all year round this is how I like it' weather.
We could do with a nice little rain shower in the early evening to help the plants.
The leaves or is that leafs, on the trees in our Road are turning to their autumn colours.
Had a great day at Harewood House last Thursday; saw the Earl and Countess on their buggy making a tour of the Terrace. We've spoken to them previously, recently I helped the Countess 'retrieve' their chocolate coloured Labrador who was a bit reluctant to go back into the House.
During our recent visit we attended a talk on Chippendale and his Chinese style furniture on display in one of the bedrooms.
Whilst on the terrace we chatted with some folks from the RSPB who had a scope focused on a Red Kite who was perched on one of his favourite branches.
Before we got the bus back, we went into The Harewood Arms for a couple of pints of Samuel Smiths 'XXX Mild.'

Alias Smith & Brawn...

I wonder whether the devious minds of The Palace of Westminister have been helping Brawn GP to 'interpret' the new F1 rules?
It needs a lateral thinking mind to get around allowances, whether MP or GP.
