Evening

Matt has got the jumpers out, it has been wet and cold today and yesterday. A variety of colours a nice teal colour and brown tonight. Roger was ok, a couple of good bond movie puns in there.

I don't watch google box so I had no idea who Steph and Dom were last night, lovely mention at the end of the show about Jackie.

Lovely photo of Matt close his eyes, cuddling toy Pudsey…It's new...this year CiN promo pic, he's looking gorgeous…cute and very thuddy!

That’s fabulous!

Do you remember a very cute photo of very tired Matt, eyes closed, cuddling toy Pudsey? It was taken at the backstage of the main CiN appeal night in 2011. It’s a copyrighted photo, and has disappeared without a trace.

If you haven’t post on mattbakerfans, here is Matt on Chris’s Breakfast Show talking about Countryfile ramble for BBC Children in Need.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06bgjwm
He is around 1.46.10 in. Very interesting interview… Chris asked him what was the most Countryfilish thing he did in real-life in the week and he said he just came in from playing rugby in the filed in his wellies with his son in pyjama.

You can only hear something like that from the one and only Mr Baker.

Nutty daddy!

Here is a fundraiser downloaded the Event Information Form (with Matt's pic), and organised wheelchair and pushchair friendly walk joining CF ramble for BBC Children in Need (I think it is in Wales)

) and blue trousers. Also sporting a lovely tan

I messed up my One Show ordering and thought it was the 2nd of September Matt was back on The One Show - so yesterday’s pictures have the right date but wrong description

This is the 2nd of September with guests patrick Stewart and his wife Sunny Ozell. We find out that Matt has never watch “Love Actually” or “Dirty Dancing”

Welsh Sheepdog (or sheep-pups) on CF One Man and His Dog, adorable! I want one!

http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1680xn/p033mfrp.jpg

Cannot wait to see sheepdog trails on tonight’s Countryfile while enjoying Mr Baker’s commentary…which team is gonna win???? Intriguing!
I am re-watching One Man and His Dog 2012 Episode 1 Live broadcast. The production team were very breve broadcasting the live program first time ever, giving us the opportunity to see the live actions in real time. It was the last too sadly due to typical British weather. I really love Mo the border collie sheepdog. She deserved a special honour.

Last relevant One Show of the week on 3rd of September with guest Rita Ora (who was at least wearing a top this time and not a jacket without a shirt

)

Matt was wearing a grey denim shirt (nicely unbuttoned to show off the lack of chest waxing

A lovely cf & omahd, they were difficult courses for the for both the young handlers and adults, the sheep were abit feisty, the puppies were so cute.

Have managed to catch up Friday ITT, last week and last night strictly…it was a pleasant surprise to see a glimpse of Matt on ITT and Matt and Al in Anita and Gleb's VT.

Didn’t expect that at all but admittedly I do prefer to see celebs’ in their proper training VTs rather than the non-training VTs. Anyway it was really lovely to see Matt and Al. They were very supportive and encouraging and not patronizing.

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...102015-001.jpg
Anita: I need advice.
Al: I found Charleston pretty difficult but you just can’t help having a huge smile on your face. And I think that what got me through it.
Matt: Definitely choreograph your face.

On Friday ITT – Robin’s A to Z, E for Exhaustion (exhausted sweaty boy!)
http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...021015-001.jpg
http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...021015-002.jpg

And just a little reminder of how fabulous Mattiona’s were (creation of Baker the Great Barnum)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lHwuP0kB_E

Strong contenders/front-runners – Jay/Peter/Helen (despite she’s having a bit over-marked comparing to others who were as good as or even better than her got lower marks)
Dark horses – Kellie/Georgina/Anita
A surprise – Katie
Not sure about Jemelia. I think Antony can be trained to be a good dancer if he doesn’t have injury but the questing is how far he can go with the limited arms movements.
The best thing on this series is Anton eventually choreographing proper dance routines and dancing with someone who can move for a change!

I missed most of CF cos I thought it was on the usual time at 7pm but so happy to see Matt and Ella’s clip just in time. An inspiring and moving story about Ella.
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...041015-003.jpg
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...041015-044.jpg
I can imagine how Matt would feel when he put on a special pairs of glass that simulates Ella’s vision. I have scars on the retina in my left eye due to illness in childhood so the vision is very distorting but right sight is good and my work supports me with 27” monitor, a special IP phone, magnifier sheets etc., so this helps me to work on the accounting software and spreadsheets.

Sky- sorry about the Internet connection and missing telly on Friday. How is now? Hope you manage to watch CF tonight.”

Luckily the tv comes through the ariel and is not with the internet cable. So I could watch the telly , It's better tonight.

Haven't been watching ITT, so missed the very brief viewing of matt

Going to be a good series this year, some of them were looking good sat night, enjoyed Jay, antia and katie, think antony coud be alright if he has time and his shoulder gets better. I'm enjoying Jeremys giving it a go and he really enjoying himself.
A couple of not so great ones, will be intersting who will be at the bottom next week.
