Wynne Evans was voted out of Strictly Come Dancing last night, so I'm a bit upset this morning.
It was Blackpool week this week, and Wynne Evans was doing a Charleston to Carmen suit 1-4 or something! It was very good, typically Wynne, but it was obviously not enough. If all of Wales (and some of England) were voting for him, it obviously wasn't enough.
The first person who they announced was in the dance off was Montel and Johanes, so I knew if Wynne was in the dance off he didn't stand a chance in hell! And sure enough, Wynne was in the dance off.
I thought Wynne's dance in the dance off was better than in the main show. He got the swivels better, as Craig asked him to do, and it was very entertaining. I thought it was better, and more entertaining, than Montel's dance, but of course the judges saved the better dancer, and Wynne was out. He was very generous about it though, and said what a great time he'd had. And Katya said some very nice things about Wynne, saying he's the kind of person everyone wants in their life, that when he enters a room he fills it with his personality and his charisma.
This morning I listened to a little bit of his radio show on BBC Radio Wales. This morning he's asking:- Have you ever been booted out of anything? after he got booted out of Strictly last night! I texted the radio station saying:- I'm sorry you're out of Strictly Wynne. I was only watching for you. From Sharon in Lichfield, Staffordshire. It took me ages to write the text! I have to go to each letter, then press select, then go to the next letter, and press select, etc. Same with commas and full stops, and you have to change the setting if you're using a capital letter in the middle of a sentence, then change it back so not all the letters are in capitals, etc! It took me over the length of one song on his radio show to type the text, then enter the number to send it to, and send it! I don't know if he'll read it out. Doesn't matter if he doesn't. I've expressed my sentiments.
I'm hoping to start dance classes. They'll wonder what I'm doing when I walk in with my walking stick! I've found a place in Lichfield with the help of Google's Copilot AI bot! (I have some nice chats with that AI bot!) It's given me a phone number, and the venue. But I had trouble finding the venue! The AI bot said it was on Bunkers Hill in Lichfield. Then it said it was 42 miles away from me. I said How can that be when I live in Lichfield? So then it changed it's mind and said it was 1.5 miles away from me. Then when I asked ordinary Google where Lichfield Social Club was they said it was on Netherstowe, which is just round the corner from me, then when I told the AI bot that, it said, Oh, yes, of course. So it's a lot closer to you!
I don't know when I'm going to phone the lady for info and stuff. But I'm hoping to go to dance classes at some point. I'll probably leave it till next year now.
What are you lot getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

@rakski Yes, I can do that. I'll listen to this morning's show tonight in bed. Then I can skip the songs I don't like to get to the bits where Wynne's talking! You can't do that when it's live! I did listen to a bit of his show live yesterday, and then listened to it all again when I was in bed. But you can't see his face on the radio, that's the downside! Except when BBC Radio Wales posts on Facebook and Twitter about his radio show and show clips of him.

Thank you very much. I will.
Yes, I'm really sad. But at least now I can listen to him on BBC Radio Wales every day on the BBC Sounds app.

@sharonelton Maybe they’ll make dancing with a stick a thing, an Olympic event maybe. I did another 15 minutes tidying the garden this morning. Only 15 minutes a day so not to annoy my back.

Some tap dancing or you know with Frank Sinatra there was some dancing with sticks, wasn't there? But I'll just put the stick in a safe place while I'm dancing! Learning to dance is supposed to be good for your balance, isn't it? I
I hope you did everything you wanted to do in the garden. 15 minutes a day not to annoy your back is a good idea.

@sharonelton I carry a stick too when I’m out but not as a walking aid. It’s an anti-dog poking device.

Oh dear, I knew this day was coming. I hope you are not too downhearted.
I think Pete Wicks should have been in the dance off instead of Montel. Had that happened then I think Wynne would have been saved as Pete was poor on Saturday night.
Good luck with the dance classes.

I'm devastated! I'm inconsolable!
Yes! Pete was really bad and if he'd been in the dance off Wynne would have been through! Oh, the injustice!
Hopefully next year I'll go to dance classes. It's too cold now to think about it. I'll write down the info Mr Copilot AI gave me.

I have never heard of him or the show, As a child I took ballet lessons and later I learned ballroom dancing, I hope you enjoy the dance classes,

He was very good. I'm not going to watch it now that he's been voted off, I'm going to go on the BBC iPlayer instead and watch old episodes that he was in.
That sounds great. Were you any good? Is it hard?
I hope so too, but I'm going to leave it to next year.

Sorry about Wynne's loss. Good luck with your dance classes. My husband's 2nd cousin is coming over today to help me with my to-do list. Have a good day.

Well, he's amazed he got to week 9! He thought he'd be out in like, week 2 or something. Would have liked him to win, but there you go. The picture is of him doing the Charleston to Carmen in the tower ballroom in Blackpool on week 9 just before he got voted off.
I haven't phoned the dance class yet. I'll probably leave it till next year now.
I hope you can sort out your to do list.
Thank you very much. You have a good day too.
