I've been able to go the last 2 times as it's been on the middle Sunday of the Easter hols. This year it's on on the last Sunday. I could probably shuffle my days around but the fact it's my sons birthday the week after makes it a bit trickier. Never mind!!!

No London #Eurovision party for me this year, even more so now I have booked my soon to be 11yo's birthday party the same day.

AUSTRALIA 2026 The song and act representing Australia were both unveiled on 1st March with the premiere of the music video on youtube. Going to Vienna is ...

I guess this entry proves that if you hope, wish and shout someone's name long enough and loud enough - one day you will be right! #Eurovision

oh #Strictly

accordion-led "never let it go" is the mash-up I never knew I needed #melfest

started watching the jury voting.
Nice to see they are about as confused/not bothered/undecided as to who the fave is too
At least the audience vote feels more of a decider #Melfest

Not watching #melfest or at least I am not right now... I've not really been keeping up with this preselection and on looking at a recap of the finalists I'm not really sure what to think... Might tune in for the voting and stuff at the end #eurovision

Quite. Actually....

Also imagining people confused as to what roly-poly is or how a pony can be used as payment for something 😂🤣😆🤣

Had a listen to the UK #eurovision song...
It's not *great* but is an enjoyable song to listen to, plus you get the title stuck in your head quite quickly... I just kinda wonder how more eccentric and different the entry could have been left to LMNC's own devices...?

*looks at calendar*
15 working days until the end of term...

I've done 3 #Eurovision reviews this afternoon and have another 1 in the pipeline. I'll do more on Thursday and might have covered all of Super Saturday which will be a massive chunk done... The finish line is in sight !!!!

been the gym, been the shops, had my lunch, now chilling in the quiet writing #Eurovision reviews while I have the time and space and focus.

As someone who works in a school, a tiny piece of me dies every time a child says their favourite book is H.P. and that that author is their favourite writer...
A few years ago the edict from above was that the staff were dressing up for WBD as characters from said book. I did no such thing.
