Another sign Xmas is near is when Strictly starts, it usually finishes the week before Xmas.

What did you think of Strictly? I don't know why they need 3 presenters. I'm not sure Johannes is right as a presenter, but I thought the other 2 were good.

I like Emma, prefer Johannes as a dancer and Josh seems like a spare part at the moment. We’ll have to see how they shape up as the weeks pass I guess. I’m more interested in the dancers, looking forward to it getting going properly.

Think I'm just getting fed up with it as the years go by. They could make it a much shorter program if they just got on with the dancing & showed less video footage etc.

I've never watched it, not a single episode.
2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!2 -
Me too, Foxgloves, just doesn't appeal. Give me a good documentary any day - Alice Roberts, David Attenborough etc!

Oh yes, quite agree. Also a good travel program like Michael Portillo or Michael Palin. Also love Simon Reeve,

I love anything to do with dancing and music so that’s why I love it so much. I love all the bright colours of the sets too. Although I remember my mum being an avid watcher of Come Dancing when I was a little girl and I hated that, thought it was so boring.

Happy Sunday everyone.
Took the dog on the park this morning then came home and gave the house a good clean.
Chose 12-1 as the free electricity hour so made a batch of soup, roast some squash for tonight’s spiced squash stew and cooked lunch.
Made 4 pots of overnight oats for breakfasts and used the remainder of the yogurt to make herb dumplings. By this time the kitchen was a mess again after spending ages cleaning it earlier!
While Mr SA was out with the dog this afternoon I got the autumn decorations down from the loft. I think some of the Halloween stuff can go to the charity shop as there’s things I won’t use.
Just going to give the grass a quick cut before having a bath.
Making spiced butternut squash stew with herb dumplings for dinner.
There’s leftover Prosecco to watch The Voice on catch up tonight 🥂
