An entire packet of bacon in sandwich form, fried not grilled. Okay so I might not live long enough to get a telegram from King Harry (that would be hilarious and should be allowed to happen at least for a day) but at least I know how to enjoy a Saturday morning. I say morning, it was actually about half past one when I sat down with the above sandwich and a cup of tea. This came after walking Jack and so I made him a breakfast treat too using off-cuts of bacon and a boiled egg, who said I spoil my dog?
We had another lazy Saturday and eventually made our way to town to do some shopping and have a cup of coffee out, and when we got back I recorded this week's podcast while Mandi watched Strictly Come Dancing. I haven't paid much attention to this series for a few years, it was something that I used to watch with Emily when she was younger and I drift in and out of it by accident if I'm passing the television while a particularly good dance is taking place. Most of the time as soon as the dance is over and they run to the upstairs bit to talk to Claudia Winkleman I ask Mandi which one is the professional dancer and which one is the 'celebrity'. She usually tells me that the 'celebrity' is a cast member of Hollyoaks, which to my mind doesn't really count as being famous.
As much as Bruce Forsyth isn't really someone you can really warm to, this was the sort of show he was pretty good at and Strictly isn't really the same without him. He was finding the live shows hard work and it was sadly too apparent that he was declining throughout his final episodes of the show. Brucie isn't in the best of health at the moment but has reportedly keen to make a guest appearance on the Christmas special this year. For someone so keen on the spotlight there is one way for Brucie to pull off the most spectacular stunt of all, he could be the final big name personality to die during 2016, the year of the celebrity death. If he really wants to steal the show he could leave it until Christmas Day, if he times it just right he could pass away quietly at home while the BBC broadcasts the Strictly Christmas special. Not that I want him to die of course because he hasn't done me any wrong, but I think this would be the ultimate showbiz goodbye.
