Hello to BeesKnees
You won't know me as I am a recent newbie. You mentioned about tickets touts for KD. You could still try the box offices as I am sure there will some tickets still available at some of the venues.
Jnb, lovely to see Ruairi/ Capt Scarlett. I have had 3 golden retrievers, and it broke my heart both times when I lost the first two, but getting a new puppy helped with the terrible pain of their loss. Each one has been an individual, no replacement and I have loved all three of them to bits. I am sure you will with Ruairi.
Goes without saying I am really excited about tonight with Jay and Aliona dancing together again. Will watch this series of Strictly because I love the glamour, glitz, fun and of course the dancing, but as everyone has said, I won't be as " invested " for obvious reasons.
This sounds a pathetic but I sat at traffic lights yesterday and as I sat there, Jess Glynne singing Hold My Hand came on the radio and I was transported back 12 months to watching the Launch pro/celeb Jay as a nervous caveman " wooden spoon" dance. I am embarrassed to say tears welled up in my eyes and I realised I just wanted to be, able to turn the clock back and start series 13 all over again. The delight in meeting the caveman, the joys, the wibbles, the anger at the judges, the worry, Jaliona's ITTs and being ecstatic when they won. Ridiculous I know.
Changing the subject to a sad note. Unfortunately have suffered a unexpected family bereavement so a difficult week ahead so probably won't be posting will still go to KD at MK in the evening next Saturday as need that to look forward to.”
So sorry to read the sad news in your last sentence, Dfer.
Take care. {{{{{Hugs}}}}
