Hi, Rusty!
I am watching BGT.. words fail me.......
I will not spoil it for you by telling you anything about it.....other than the first act began with Amanda covering her eyes.......and David Walliams saying it was the most thrilling two minutes he'd ever watched!
Another act had Simon blowing his buzzer! and saying an emphatic "No" !
( He intimated that it wouldn't be suitable for the Royal Family to see!)
Right, no further comments or I shall spoil it for you.
The break is over so I am going back to watch.......

Hello, Elle!
Well, I follow BGT on Twitter and some acts are being posted there.
I have successfully avoided them all, but I could not resist watching Diversity Juniors.
They were great!
I did not see Ashley Banjo in the clip, though.
Was he there?
I am looking forward to watching the show tomorrow morning!
It makes me happy!

Hi, Rusty!
I have to say that I thought this the best "early" show I have ever seen on BGT.......
Usually I am disappointed or plain bored by some of the acts at the beginning of the series, but most of these were very good indeed!
And Ant and Dec even pressed the Golden Buzzer!
Yes, the Diversity young ones were fantastic.....dancing, acrobatics, and even a slight comedy element.
Wonderful.
And yes, Ashley Banjo was in the audience.
You will enjoy the show!
Right, I need a coffee......

Hello, Elle!
That's very encouraging that you enjoyed the show!
I am looking forward to it.
It will set me up for the day, tomorrow!
I am glad Ashley is choreographing the young ones routine.
He is a very talented young man!
And a Golden Buzzer act!
I will look forward to that!

Hi, Rusty!
I missed a couple of acts in the middle of the show....I was out in the kitchen when I heard Simon buzzing.....
I might scroll through tomorrow's recording and see what they were.
Yes, I was surprised by the fact that I actually enjoyed it!
I am usually very critical.
I shall be interested to hear what you think of one of the acts though.......Simon's face was a picture!
And in one instance, he had his hand covering his face......and was watching through his fingers!
But you shall see it all for yourself tomorrow!
A maximum of 13C tomorrow, with rain from 4 pm.

Good morning, Elle!
A beautiful morning here!
Heading out at 11 with granddaughters to the Pine Cone.
There is a big bike race on later.
The Amstel Gold from Holland.
Just watched BGT.
it was well up to standard, I thought.
Best for me was the magician.
I thought he was baffingly great!
The Diversity young ones were very good too, and it was good to see Ashley Banjo in the audience.
What are you at today?

Good morning, Rusty!
It is a somewhat cloudy morning here.
A tad cooler, too, than yesterday.
Yes, the magician was excellent .......as were the Diversity youngsters.
The young lad sang well, I thought, and the second choir - the one in support of Sickle Cell anaemia - was very good.
What did you think of the nude (almost!) Japanese guy?
I rather thought that Simon was going to order him off stage!
The concept of his possibly entertaining the Royal family seemed to be causing Simon some concern.........!
We are having a leisurely day.....I am about to do the Everyman crossword...my usual Sunday morning diversion.
We shall go out for a walk early this afternoon.
How many granddaughters are going with you to the Pine Cone?

Hello, Elle!
The young lad singing was quite good.
Reminded me of Frankie Lymon (you will be too young to remember Frankie!)
The choirs were good but I did not think highly of the Japanese man.
I could see Simon's point regarding the Royals!
Now, granddaughters are a mystery.
There will be one, two, or four.
Not sure who is all coming!
The more the merrier!

Hi, Rusty!
No, I do not know Frankie Lymon?
( I should like to think it is because I am too young..... but maybe it is just a lack of knowledge! )
The Everyman was a good one today.....I had to struggle with three parsings.......but all done and dusted now.
My daughter has just phoned....BB wanted to talk to me.
YB throws in his contributions, too, now, which is great.
They are off to a nearby farm to see the lambs.
I hope you have a good time with your granddaughters!

Hello, Elle!
Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.
"Why do Fools Fall in Love" was their big hit. In 1956?
Great weather here!
Just out with two granddaughters today!
We had a nice time!
And you had a chat with your grandsons!
Very good!
