Hi Nina, glad you are back. I liked Nat's hair as well, you are right about the perturbation a knickerbocker can cause

I could not wait for MS's take on little Anton and Sohie's lifts.
However am very perturbed about the fact that among other legumes, he stole and violated our cucumber
:. We want it back
Quote from Craig's book
"Of course, Kara's dream came true. Strictly Come Dancing changed her life, for ever. She's getting all the acting work she's ever wanted, it re-kicked and re-booted her career to such an extent that people now notice her as an actress and not just a character from Eastenders. She is the toast of the West End - and soon she'll be moving into movies, I'm sure. And in Artem, she got her dream man out of it too. They're a beautiful couple and it's one of those real-life fairy tales. They both found love, they both found fame, they found fortune, they found it all".

For those peeps who were interested in a print of the Kara painting by Jack Vettriano, I E Mailed Heartbreak Publishing who deal with his stuff and they said that regrettably prints of this painting are not currently available.

Thanks for the holiday welcomes Anam, Wrenster & Clarty. Had a fab but exhausting time.
I have not caught up with Monkseal yet but the robbery of the cucumber ???? Surely there are some internet privacy laws covering this ????
Tis a violation indeed.And for lurve week Arty has a rumba, here's hoping the dance of lurve for lurve week bodes well (at least it's not a lurve Charleston
)

You'll enjoy Monkseal this week, there were many strategically placed items of food including 'our' cucumber!
What little we saw of their Rumba looked good.
Apparently Tess in her blog this week has said that Claudia will be hosting with her again!
I'm sorry Bruce is so sick, but I'm happy to see Tess and Claudia do the show again!

Oo. I hadn't heard that. And he's supposed to be off anyway the following week, too (?
?). I do hope he's okay and just needs a bit more rest. I'm almost at the point of finding him completely unbearable on the show, but I don't want him to be properly poorly

Snortingly funny.

My thoughts exactly.
Arty in full Rumba on Saturday, let's hope he's a wee bit less tangoed this week.

I'm only copying what another FM posted so I hope it's true (if you know what I mean).

I haven't been able to find it ...(which doesn't mean it's not there
)ETA: the Yahoo article. I found the poster's post!
OT: I thought this worth a watch - may be of interest to other dance fans (and environmentalists! )

No point in being two faced about it.
I've just re watched the final, haven't watched it all the way through since they won.
All I can say is ....awwwwwwwwww!
It was such a fairytale, the dancing the music and the true pure romance of it. Makes me feel all gushy. I don't think they'll ever be topped.

Yeah watched it last night . Beyond perfection. Re watched the pink also.and Lens praise of her foot work...spirals , cross overs etc.all needing to be pointed out to those of us with no knowledge of the finer point of dance Bothe the pink and white will be with us for forever.
I expect an extremely raunchy rhumba ,ha he can't help himself .
Natalie knows dance and expression in dance so I expect it to be nines if not more . And it will be another master class in choreography Didn't know what a ....is it Slanket.? was had to look it up
Hi lovely Nina, pleased you had a good holiday & glad you are back DS-ing! Some Fab reports already in from Noonie,Wren,BV, Keep dancing, Anum & Soupy . I'm really struggling to keep up with all the threads etc so apologies if I've left anyone out. I promise I read them all.My contribution is late to the table......again!
Strictly week 2
No Brucie on the show tonight,
A bit of a relief for me!
Loved Claudia and Tess instead,
They did a good job for all to see.
This was the first time we would vote,
And first up were Suzanna & Kev.
They did a really great Tango,
They certainly went up a rev!
Tony & Aliona had the Charleston,
Judges gave him a really bad time.
They were followed by Natalie & Artem,
Their Waltz was really sublime.
Nat in gorgeous gown of red,
Artem in a velvet coat,
I think they’ll take some beating,
Around the floor they seemed to float.
Karen & Dave’s American Smooth,
Was a lot of fun to see.
Rachel & Pasha’s Salsa though,
Didn’t do much for me!
Patrick & Anya’s lively Tango,
In red & black they set us aflame.
Deborah & Robin’s Cha Cha,
Showed us that this girl is game!
Vanessa & James’ sentimental Waltz
Was a very pleasant surprise.
But Julien & Janette’s Lady Ga Ga’s Tango
Almost hurt my eyes!!
Fiona & Anton did the Cha Cha,
The middle was a bit of a mess.
Mark & Iveta danced a salsa too,
I love these two I guess!
Then came a lively Charleston
By Sophie & Brendan it was danced,
One of the best Charlestons ever
Dance of the night, you could see at a glance.
Ben & Kristina’s waltz was a bit wooden,
Need to let himself go apace.
Aljaz & Abbey’s Cha Cha was charming
Oh but the look on her face!
Ashley & Ola’s American Smooth
Was a better dance this week.
And now the baby has finally arrived,
Up the leaderboard they will creep.
So Natalie & Artem are at the top,
Sophie creeping up fast
Poor Tony & Aliona at the bottom,
I wondered how long he would last!
I must admit to cheating
Couldn’t resist the spoiler thread.
So knew Aliona & gentle Tony,
Out of the competition they would head.
Sunday’s show began with the pros,
Another steamy dance,
Featuring our lovely Artem,
With that sexy, smouldering glance!
A recap of the night before,
And with suspense, one by one,
We found who was through to next week.,
And who would be finally gone.
Julien & Tony in the dance-off,
Don’t think it was much of a surprise.
Tony’s swing was not enough,
One of the most charming guys.
The highlights for me this week?
Mark & Iveta were a lot of fun.
Natalie & Artem’s waltz was sublime.
Sophie’s Charleston brilliantly done.
And Karen & Hairy Dave’s Tango
Was laughingly out of the norm!
This coming week is “Luurve Week”
Can’t wait to see all perform.

Thanks sweetie, I've just asked some friends the same the same question about Last Passenger. Can't find a thing.
Had a quick look at the FB page for the film. Somebody asked where we could see it and the reply was 'details very soon'.

Seren, don't you dare think you are ever slacking - not with your fab poetry contributions. Consider yourself told.
I'm off to your home country Wales this weekend, although the fresh air will probably hit me with sleepiness shock as always !
