The announcement of an impending lockdown did little for the mood Chez TLF, but in these unprecedented times V0.2, it is important to hunker down and spend quality time as a couple.
Meaning that on Sunday evening, there was the unprecedented sight of Mr TLF joining me for the Strictly Results show. How nice to have company in these difficult times, when we are feeling a bit stressed, a bit perturbed.
Except it’s not.
Mr TLF: Who’s that?
TLF: Jamie Laing
Mr TLF: What’s he in?
TLF: Made in Chelsea…it’s a reality show (pre-empting the ‘what’s that’ question)
Mr TLF: Who’s she?
TLF: Karen Hauer
Mr TLF: What does she do?
TLF (teeth starting to grit): She’s Jamie’s professional dance partner
Mr TLF: What’s happening now?
TLF: They are announcing who’s through and who’s in the Dance off
Mr TLF: Is that like an elimination?
TLF (teeth now officially GRITTED): Yes.
Mr TLF (in his stride now): That’s a ridiculous shirt
TLF: They don’t choose their costumes
Mr TLF: They look ridiculous. It’s like they were in Blake’s Seven.
TLF: GO. AWAY. NOW.
Exit Mr TLF, pursued by a dancing bear.
