Good evening, Elle!
Just watched BGT.
That was the best sem-final so far, for me.
My three favourite acts were Acrobadabra, Marc Spelman, and Gruffyd.
I thought Gruffyd was super, his Nan will be rightly very proud of him, as will Wales!
What did you make of it?

Hi, Rusty!
I liked Acrocadabra ...and Hollie and her friends put on a courageous show, but my favourites were mot definitely Marc Spelmann and Gruffyd Win.
I actually voted for both!
I thought they deserved it!
I hope to goodness the naked Japanese man doesn't get through.... there was no variety in his act from his audition....
Different props...but the same principles.
I found his act very boring!
The other young singer was quite good?
It's time for the results......

Update, Rusty...…
Well, what did you think of the results?
I am delighted that Gruffyd got through, although disappointed that Marc Spelmann did not make it,
I wasn't expecting the outcome, as I hadn't thought that the comedian was a serious contender.
But obviously the general public liked him.
It was a good show!
And Simon, too, thought that this was the best Semi-final so far.

Good morning, Elle!
Bit dull here today, hope the blue skies break through later!
I think I am on my own here, but I did not understand most of what Robert White was saying, never mind find him funny.
Must be an acquired taste!
Acrobadabra were a much better act, I think, but we are all different.
Chuffed for Gruffydd, though, and his Nan!
Wonder who is on tonight?

Good morning, Rusty!
It is dull and dreary here.....very humid.
We have a thunderstorm lined up for early afternoon!
No, I agree with you.... as I said last night, I hadn't even considered the comedian, Robert White, as a serious contender.
I hadn't liked the previous comedian from the other day, either.
I'm not very good with comedians...I rarely find one amusing.....
Although I have always very much enjoyed Jasper Carrot!
He is clever!
Jack and Dad are on tonight.....and DVJ.
The other names mean little to me - the performers cannot have made much of an impression!
Father Ray still remains one of my favourites.

Hello, Elle.
Still dull weather here.
I could not make out what the comic was saying.
I don't think his diction was very good.
And there seemed to be mostly "in" jokes, that the panel understood, but I did not.
No pass marks from me, I'm afraid.
I am looking forward to seeing DVJ and Jack and Dad.

Love Jasper Carrot, elle!Mostly comedians bore me silly, but not him or Dave Allen.

Hi, Rusty!
The atmosphere here is very oppressive.....but no thunderstorm as yet.
The dog is a bit twitchy though...so there is definitely something in the air.
I have been doing some outstanding odd jobs....sorting out clothes ...gathering up a bag for a charity collection that is coming round.
I couldn't settle to "sitting"...so haven't started the crossword as yet.
It's "headachey" weather....
When do your son and daughter-in -law come home?
You will be missing your son's visits!




Hello, Ros!
I remember the first time I ever saw Jasper Carrot on television......everyone was talking about him the next day!
He is very good!
Yes, I liked Dave Allen , too....
There has been a lot of controversy over him, and some of the remarks he was quoted as having made.
But he was clever and funny!

There will always be people who cannot bear any joke with a religious theme, and Dave Allen's often did. However, doesn't bother me and I liked him.
Jasper was truly original, though

Hello, Elle!
Still overcast here, but at least it's dry, so not so good for the farmers.
I see there are weather warnings in place for the South.
Puzzle is quite good today.
Less tough than yesterdays!
My son and daughter-in-law leave Florida tomorrow around 10 p.m. and will arrive at Glasgow International around 6 on Saturday morning.
Yes, I miss my son, but he texts to me several times a day, so that's great!
