Eurovision

I love Eurovision! Lats night, for the first time ever, I sat and watched the semi-finals. Depite the event lacking the Wogan touch, I still found the event great fun. There's just something wonderful about it, just watching what everyone comes up with, and some of the more outlandish singers, songs and costumes make it all a wonderfully worthwhile way to spend a couple of hours. Finland were brilliant, with the moment where the singer's wings unfolded and then slowly folded back up being my laugh out loud moment of the event! Iceland's bonkers song, with it's call to God got the only boos I can ever remember at Eurovision and Slovakia were cheated of a deserved place in the final, alas.
It's looking unlikely that I'll get to see this years actual final, as we're going away for the weekend (a long overdue visit to see Richard Beeby, who we've not seen for a fair while now) so I'll have to console myself with the semi finals this year, but I live in hope of one day sitting down with Gaz to watch it... it's been mooted many times, but we only managed it the once, back in 1996, the year of Gina-G's mirror costume! Last night featured the usual round of phone calls and texts between the songs and a lot of laughs. That's why I love it!
