Used up the thread with no link.

PANIIIIICS you're all at work.

Erm, never done this before, let's hope it works......

Thank you ❤

Glad your headache is better Madame.

I'm on my way to Stockholm for fika

Morning all!

Happy Birthday Badders. Have a great day.

Gorgeous shoes LetUs. I can't wear them that high now, I think my centre of gravity has moved.

Jonnie looked amazing, but I don't think he was as good as the judges said. I thought his movements were a bit stiff , but with the leg and all he was brilliant. Will go and watch again.

I can't get my head around how well he moves in comparison with Strike, who has enormous difficulty with his prosthesis. I know that Strike is fiction, but a lot of research was put into it. Perhaps the position on the leg is different. Also Strike isn't in such good condition physically as Jonnie.

Pleased headache has gone Madame.

Enjoy your fika WW.

Well, the books say that Strike could do with losing weight, and neglects his stump somewhat, so that would probably account for most of it... JKR said something about it on twitter - hold on a mo.....

Here you go...

I'm not sure what Madame is doing today, but charlie seem to be enjoying himself up there...

I agree apricot he does look a little stiff (nlt), also manages to look a bit petrified much of the time too - although the arse makes up for much of that

If it's not too gruesome question to ask - is Strike an above or below the knee amputee? From my limited knowledge of Para athletics I think it makes a difference - Jonnie is below the knee.

at JKR.

Strike's is about 4 inches below the knee Fancy, there is a screencap which they did with CGI but it is a bit gruesome.

It might be what's required for the dance, but Jonnie looked like he was in a muscle bound/Action Man pose with his arms for a lot of it

Hope Badderz is having a fabulous birthday. You deserve it!

Hope Wicked is feeling thoroughly fika’d

Loving the JP/Strike movement comparisons! Hadn’t really thought about it but it’s very interesting. I was just watching Jonnie’s —hair and backside— dancing.

I have ironing to put away. Can’t be arsed really. I need motivation.

LetUs - You List is in the airing cupboard - you need to fold up the ironing nicely and put it away properly to make room for you as well though....
Some of your list have already started using the clean laundry get in there and stop them!!!

Helen you’re amazing

letus love those shoes, sadly I also cant and never have been able to wear heels like that. Thanks for tactfully cropping me out of that charlie shot too.

Hope bads has eaten her body weight in cake and everyone else has had good days.

Enjoying the strike/JP analysis including from JKR

I'mdo impressed that you can walk in those heels Letus

Back from fika, quite exhausted, bit of a travel and it was raining heavily on the drive home. Cooking dinner now.

You’re welcome Madame. Thought it was important to preserve your —anonymity— modesty

Driving in heavy rain can be very tiring Wicked. Still, home now for snuggles with the cats.

I might not actually be able to walk in those shoes, but I shall order them and see

Boo for weather; hurrah for Fika ; (more) for Badders

You don't need to walk LetUs - you just need to perch on a bar stool, or recline on a chase and let the HBFs admire your feet. They can work their way up
Channel your inner Diana Dorrs...

I’ve just been pondering your suggestion Helen. The rest of my brain has melted

Midsumer murders and a cuppa, perfect way to spend a Sunday Evening

You’re not wrong Wicked.

Have just finished Strictly results, bit more ironing to do, get stuff ready for tomorrow, then relax with some tv.

TEAM TOM KLAXON

The brunchers is on Amazon prime video...

Go go GO.............

I have IMDBed. Rufus Sewell also. I shall add that to the watch list!

Oh letus
The scarf
The scarf!!!!....
this could be the new blue cardi of lust

Brunchers is a lovely short - always makes me laugh. Except I haven't been able to watch it since it was moved from a free site to blood Amazon Prime. Rufus Sewell is only in it for a matter of minutes (five, maybe, at the end.)

God Bads you scared me with that Tom klaxon. Thought I'd missed something.

The Brunchers is on Daily Motion for those who want to see it and can't. She annoys the crap out of me.

Off to watch Strictly results.

Have a good evening everyone.

Oh Apricot - you star
