mmmmiddle age (mmmmotherhood? mmmmainstream?)


Our household has been loving Britain's Got Talent this year.  So good!  Ashleigh and Pudsey the dancing dog were my favourites right from their very first Flintstones audition, which quite bizarrely left me in tears.  I thought this was a one-off and put it down to tiredness/hormones, but no, I also cried over them in the semi-final and especially in the final.  If you saw the final, maybe you won't find that a strange confession (how brilliant?!) and if you didn't see the final, you can watch their performance above.  Well, did you cry, or is it something to do with motherhood, my being middle aged (ugh) or have I just gone so mainstream that I get suckered in to these things?  I tried to vote for Asleigh and Pudsey (I know...) but got a message that the phone lines were closed and then remembered we were watching it on +1.  Durr!  I put that down to middle age/motherhood too!  I was very upset and felt I had let Ashleigh and Pudsey down, visualising Ant and Dec announcing they had lost by just one vote, so I was doubly delighted and relieved when they won.  Woo hoo!  Right, I'm off to watch their winning performance again.

  1. Hi Laura, I love your blog and watch for updates on crafting, motherhood, and your doings in Glasgow. I did not cry watching Ashleigh and Pudsey, but it's adorable that you did! Thanks for brightening up my mid-morning work routine.

    1. Glad you enjoyed the clip :) I guess it would have been pretty embarrassing for you if you'd been caught crying over a dancing dog while at work. Well done for holding it together!

  2. I cried at BGT last year and definitely blame the hormones, I was crying happy tears because "they all tried so hard but not all of them could go through". Stupid hormones.

    1. I remember crying at the pyrotechnics in the Eurovision Song Contest while I was pregnant last year. I could almost accept that as normal, but I never expected the hormones to last this long. Will this emotional hell never end?!
