this one was the first of the 4…

… semi finals of Britains Got Talent that I was pleasantly surprised with. Probably because I wasn’t really rooting for any of the acts in this particular bundle. For full videos of the show check out THIS USER. Overall I felt there was more heart and sincerity with the performances all round.  THIS CONTESTANT was a fun delight and seriously would make a great Mowgli. (OK… maybe after his voice does it’s complete change.) For …

fueling up in the morning…

… has never really been a part of my day for a very long time. A cup of java doesn’t count. I’m talking about the full on breakfast with starch and grease here. I think the last regular period in which I actively partook in this daily ritual was perhaps when I was still in high school. Ever since I have been more prone to the brunch. Every once in a while I will… like …

watched most of the first semi-final…

… of Britains Got Talent last night… and the rest this morning. Susan Boyle got off to a shaky start but managed to secure the audience vote for the final… so did dance group Diversity. Once again I relied on THIS USER to upload the entire program. The second semi-final is tonight. OK… now the chores. If I have something else half way interesting… I’ll post an update here.

random pics of the day

… shot between yesterday and this morning. My dog, Brownie… trying to look her sexy best. Part of the black and blue penne pasta I had yesterday. I was going to take the rest home for a snack but the waiter forgot. We left him a tip anyway. Songs4Pints singing for their Guinness last night at the Grill. My turtle dove friends pecking at the bricks on my driveway this morning. That’s it for now. …

yeah, it’s my third post today…

… but I thought this video from Singapore did merit the post. A friend posted it on FaceBook and I was quite taken by it for several reasons. Here is the description from the YouTube page. “Funeral” is a new TV commerical launched by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) which looks at relationships in a different light, through a woman at her husbands funeral. Ultimately, the TVC celebrates the beautiful imperfections …

and so it went…

… this weekend, that is. Nothing particularly spectacular. The usual daily chores. The oh so not surprising order of pizza due to a severe case of cooking laziness. Tending the vege beds and watering the compost. Though last night I did get to hang at Vye’s with a couple of other friends slurping on beer and chatting… about vegetables and plotting world domination through food. Mostly an uneventful but pleasant weekend. Though, if my memory …
