OUCH! You have all my sympathy

They're all women...

Other than Gorka who has other fish to fry, there have been no reports of any pro men being axed.

I imagine they want a more a more streamlined pool of pros. It was getting quite big tbh. But seeing the rationale of it isn't going to stop me missing Nadiya's uber-glamour

That hilarious! 🤣

Mind, I reckon I'm probably not far behind you

Exactly!

And we found it so sad that this happened to someone's creative toil.

I never thought I had a book in me (contrary to the popular saying) but if I did I sure wouldn't waste my time and effort writing it on goldfish-brained ingrates like me 😂

Yes. One of the things about managing change is you don't do it all at once, but leave some things the same so people still feel comfortable. Axing 3 pros would have been quite brutal but they seem to be keeping going which is just too much, especially given the presenters will be new

I mean, who doesn't?

I'm like your friend, inasmuch as though I read a lot of things, the ones I really enjoy enough to read again are few and far between and probably quite specific. And if book clubs are reading it then it's unlikely to be one of those specific ones I've found

I used it as an example, rather than that book specifically, of books I read and don't remember mutch about, even when prompted! And our conversation was really about the musical, but my friend began with "Have you read The Pilgrimage of Harold Fry?..." and we got a bit sidetracked 😄

I needed that. Thank you 😍

I think it might be more of a vegan thing than a regional thing. I found out about by a couple from Leicester and Kent who live in Edinburgh

said she was the same. And we agreed that it was very sad for authors to sweat blood and tears to write a book only for readers to instantly forget all about it*.

Anyway, my friend went to a musical based on the Harold Fry novel. Enjoyed it

*(I only remember his shoes falling apart)

I was talking about books with my friend as we marched up Beacon Fell. She asked me if I had read the book about Harold Fry's pilgrimage. I said "ye-es" a bit doubtingly, because the title seemed familiar but I couldn't remember what it's about. Even with a synopsis I only recognised bits. She

I'm only friends with Nadiya afors. Luckily all my strictly-watching family are Nadiya afors, otherwise I would have had to cut them off

Also only heard of it about a year ago and have lived my whole adult life in the north

I think Nadiya afors tend to be Katya agins

Karen gone from Strictly. Not gutted about that, but she was maturing quite nicely so I wasn't agin her like I was until a year or so ago. Actually a bit sad for her.

But they've kept Katya which I just cannot fathom. Of all the agins I have she's my most aginnest. And for my extended family too

It's working now. I just did it

I know! I'm gutted

Slice it and stuff it in your gob. It's the only way

I'm so pleased for you. They usually do go very well and successfully from my relatives' experience. Sometimes the being able to move without pain actually takes a bit of getting used to - your brain is hardwired to brace yourself for the pain.

I hope your recovery and progress continues to go well

As many as THAT?!

I bow down to your cleaning enthusiasm

I somehow missed episodes 1-8, but I'll use catch up because I'm HOOKED.

When's ep 10?

*years'

I've watched since thebthird series in 2005. That's 20 year's service from me. Like Tess and Claud I've probably done my time

Every year for some time I've been saying I'm not watching it, but losing two of my favourites is too much.

I feel Gorka might have chosen his own fate, now he's judging in Spain. But strictly was EVERYTHING to Nadiya.

I'm going to sit in a dark room watching her on a loop being uberglam on ITT

a little girl is sitting at a table with a pink cup and the words `` not fair '' . Alt: a little girl is sitting at a table with a pink cup. She picks up a piece of paper and throws it towards tye camera with a grumpy scowl. The words "not fair" appear at the bottom

NOOOO!!!! Gorka and Nadiya have gone from Strictly 💔

Luba and Michelle too. Not bothered about Luba, she had opportunities, but Michelle never really got to show us what she could do or who she was.

Having done a month's tour with a tiny backpack you have one set of smelly clothes and another set you only wear when you yourself are clean. Then you wear your night attire when you get an opportunity to put everything through the wash. You have a different perception of washing needs

That's so cute! Lovely photo 😍

How's everything?

I meant Fiona 😂

So yes, you can absolutely be excused
