Thanks, those are nice clips, especially the driving ones Imagine being in that car, sitting next to Jay, looking as gorgeous as he does there, singing ' Shake It Off ' together ! Wonderful The walking on all fours - he did that for Aliona when they were training in the early days, and I think she liked it from what I remember. It's on her Twitter or Instagram somewhere.

If there is justice you will meet him.

Whiffle_09. Lovely reviews and illustrations.

This is my favourite dance - my favourite, favourite dance. [Didn't someone else say that?]

Never really got my perspective back after that dance.

Agree with this & also for me it is the unashamed gentleness & care he takes of Aliona.

I am off to have a peek at WIJ - Erm - may be gone for a while.

I have a feeling she may be from the UK - maybe one of the makeup artists?

Thanks Mo

I am being a bit greedy as I have met him already.
Saw him in Birmingham outside Malmaison, bottled it and couldn't even ask for photo, saw him outside the Malmaison again with Arnostae and got a hug and quick chat, and then spoke to him for nearly ten minutes and got multiple hugs after extensive lurking in Manchester. He is a very lovely and very young looking young man.
Following this trajectory though, he ought to be worried if I did see him again!

Love, love the waltz also

Thanks for the interview extract Beth
Very interesting indeed

You're welcome- there's more in the book about their early days, including being in the studio and getting to number one among other things. Will be typing that up soon for anyone who wants to read it

Agreed
The thing that I sometimes forget is that it is only week 2. To have that connection between them at that early stage, really is exceptional.

The best ones (imho) are the early ones - when they didn't have these "staged" sessions.

Along with lots of other celebrity weddings. There would be no Hello magazine if everyone said no to them.
It is, to my knowledge, the only time Vin has undertaken such a 'photo opportunity'. He seems very self effacing and laid back.

And yes seriously this is my view.

For all we know the couples are very good personal friends

Callmepitstop - I think he's right - keeps me out!
😂😂😂

Ha ha - Waitrose is my main shopping place In my defence we don't have many supermarkets where I live.

I do go to Lidl too, the other day I was idly looking at my shopping trolley at the checkout and it contained something like a bottle of merlot, vine tomatoes, avocados, prawns, manchego cheese, sushi rice and I suddenly thought "oh god, how middle-class does my shopping look"! Every cliche was in there, oh well I like avocado mashed with Sriracha sauce on toast for breakfast

I am so clean eating, I am buying a spiralizer next

I do think some people have got confused between "posh" and being a "snob". I'm not posh but can be a terrible snob about food!

As Manuel would say 'I know nothing' - can't remember where he came from.......Madrid? ....😆
They probably are Hannah.

Think we should just remember we know nothing really, about those people we have come to love and admire and respect for different reasons.

My own take is, it is obvious Aliona, Vincent and Jay - plus extended family get on like a house on fire- therefore all are of the same ilk.

Never been jealous of people with money. Some have worked very hard for it.

The good, the bad and the ugly exist in all walks of life - highlighted in my supply years.

Would you know I was a Clint (as well as Elvis) fan!!😂
Retirement is bliss........

Can watch /visit Wimbledon ......for 🎾.......and 💃

Who would have thought it!!

To Jnb
I've not posted for ages (RL gets in way!) but I do lurk and have been hoping and praying with you for so long!!
I am so very , very sorry to hear this sad news - he looked such a beautiful boy and you loved him so much - I feel so very sad for you.
Thinking of you x

Shack Attack

Jaybird, Jaybird, won’t you let me come in?
Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin
Jaybird, Jaybird, I’m so lonely out here
There are jobs to be done and I’m drinking a beer
Jaybird, Jaybird, I just want a big hug
If you look through the window I’ll show you a shrug
Jaybird, Jaybird, it looks warm in your shack
Go away little kitty and never come back

In connection with the discussion about Vincent, Arnostae and I met ( well we kind of ambushed) Vincent in Birmingham just before we saw Jay.
He was very charming and posed without hesitation for a photograph with 2 strange and rather excited women. He is nicely spoken, slim but strong, is more attractive than his photos might suggest ( hope that doesn't sound rude) and has quite a presence.

I agree - I like the natural Jay.

Well, I have had a lovely evening Spreeathen. Thanks for the links. I should have been working from home tonight, but my work's remote server went down. Shame! [not]. I am heading off now. I have a dental appointment tomorrow - terrifying.

Night.

OK. You are being greedy. But we are talking about Jay, so it is allowed.
Perfectly understandable in my view.

ACE the GRIT demolition company is standing by at the Shack.
It would appear that planning permission was not sought and building regs have not been followed.

Naughty Korky. Mwahaha 👿

And football⚽!!!!!! Erm.......

I tried to tell her it had to have wheels otherwise she would have to get planning permission but she wouldn't listen, just told me it was for her and J only

But we could do one on wheels, look at this one;

It's even got a portable hot tub so we don't have to miss the one we installed at The Gutter. I'm sure if we had a quick crowdfund whipround we could afford one

Jaybird, Jaybird, you let me come in!
It's so cold outside and so cosy within.
Jaybird, Jaybird, can I sit on your lap?
Of course, jump up and we'll both have a nap.
Jaybird, Jaybird, I love you to bits!
If you ever leave me I'll be broken in bits.
Jaybird, Jaybird, what shall we do?
I don't mind as long as it's always with you.

Pretty but planning office say
building to be less than 2.5 metres in height.
Where would your macerator go.
Have you really thought this through😒
And if deep in the woods you could still be evicted unless you have lived there for 4 years.
Mmmmmm........

Forgot about that Hannah...slink....⚽️
Mind you, can't remember, was it Wimbledon or Watfotd who had a terrible name? To do with fans I think. Or neither? 😱
Whom did Vinnie Jones play for?
