9:30 ish, woke up later than normal to the sound of the burglar alarm. which in our house only means one thing..the electricity has gone off. Bummer! I would like to say that I sprang out of bed with nifty feet, but you know it would be a lie! After replenishing the leckie, I make coffee and go back upstairs fully expecting that himself will still be sleeping but where the burglar alarm did not wake him, the alarm on my phone does! ( hmm so what would happen if there was actually a burglar, hmm). We now partake in what has become a bit of a Saturday Morning tradition over the last few weeks and watched our sky plussed edition of XFactor USA! Very good, leaves the British one in the wind... really but for my on any side of the pond, it pulls at my heart strings.. It seems that in America they are not fans of groups either. I would love to work that out, really. Anyhow we like Chris Rene in our house, as well as Astro.. The problem with the the American X factor is that they can all sing, and put on a performance, there are not joke acts, no one to dislike.. have you heard Melanie Omaro or Leroy Bell. The latter is a fantastic example of why you should never give up on your dreams!
It would be fab to see some collaborations between some British X- factor artistes like Misha B and Chris Rene and a sing off between Little Mix and Lakoda rain!
12:10- Well before you know it, its lunch time, and yes surprise surprise it was really hunger that alerted me to the time, so had to interrupt American X-Factor to utilise my wonderful culinary skills! After that, can you believe I had a nap, something i have not done for ages, at least not since my clubbing days!
I woke up watched a bit of the Republic Of Ireland's Euro qualifier in which Robbie Keane scored. He has such a funny celebration run, it really did make me giggle. 4 ish, was hungry again, believe it ( I attribute it to slimming world- it gets your furnaces going!) Watched all of the England V Spain game ( well bar 10 minutes when I popped out to the shops to buy stuff). I have to talk about it, I enjoyed it in a funny sort of way, Spain was Spain, ever patient, ever possessive of the ball! Somehow though it was England who got the goal early in the second half and they proved that they could defend for 90 mins, ( cos even the first half was defend, defend defend). I accept that it may be a boost for the team, but it was by no means a show stopping performance ( well) by England and they cannot do that for a whole tournament and expect to win, am pretty certain they watched the last world cup! I heard on the radio at some point that it would be very easy, what with all the talk about the alleged racism case against Terry and the poppy wear no wear chatter, to forget that England do play football as well and to me that is the 64 thousand dollar question.. can they or can't they is it just bad luck that they have not won a major tournament since 19 God knows when!
Evening
The Akiti went out to visit his Godson and I was left with the remote control and X factor UK. It was good this week, as it was full of drama what with the demise of Frankie Coccoza's journey on X factor and the subsequent return of another act, not to mention some technical hitches. In the end it was Amelia Lily that came back, but I would have liked two shoes. It makes you realise who subjective and personal such a show is. Apparently Amelia got 48% of the vote not bad eeh.. So we like what we like only some people put their money where their mouth is.. So apart from the occasional CD purchase or Itunes download I am definitely an armchair supporter!
Well my Saturday was not really that extraordinary, I was in my house all day, bar 10 mins in the local shops, very lazy. None of my normal activities anywhere in sight, although to be honest It would be a special case if I were to go to Tae Kwon Do on a Saturday, or indeed dance class, but there were no parties, no real shopping to talk of indeed no visitations all normal Saturday activities usually. As you can see there was no need to video we are a normal family from Luton Bedfordshire and would have ended up on the cutting room floor. Good!
