Eeeeeeeee it's bloody hot innit! We're not used to the heat up here but we're not complaining. Yesterday Rachael and Pete and baby Tilly popped over to have lunch, watch the FA Cup (Everton lost, Darren sulked), lie around in the garden, eat cheesecake and gossip. After they left we went to the Grand Theatre in Blackpool to see Victoria Woods 'Dinner Ladies'. Was ok but a bit like a half hour TV episode stretched to two hours (in a very hot theatre). A couple of the original TV actors were in it, her and him:

and the other actors all had the mannerisms and speech of the TV characters off to a tee. The middle aged and gentle audience loved it and clapped for ages at the end. Which is the whole point I suppose, they went to the theatre for a laugh and to be entertained and thats what they got.
I was very annoyed when Susan Boyle didn't win 'Britain's Got talent' last night. First Everton, then Susan Boyle, what a downer.
We're off to Grange Over Sands today as the weather is still lovey and Edwardian seaside resorts are a weakness of mine (it's the home of Cumberland sausage you know so let's hope they do a vegetarian version).
