Tonight, Graham...

I will post Vienna photos tomorrow, promise; it's been a struggle sorting out 350+ pictures particularly as the normal weekend things like washing and ironing didn't happen last weekend...

But tonight was the Annual Kitchfest we call Eurovision, and Sue and I rose to the occasion:

Thought Graham Norton did pretty well as a commentator, given how good Terry Wogan was (favourite remark of the evening "We're told they're wearing traditional dress. Presumably they're from a village whose mayor was Liberace".) It was interesting that a lot of countries had brought in really well-known people; and we went for Moldova, Germany and Denmark rather than the countries which actually, you know, won anything. But Norway's winning entry had folky elements, and was written by the performer, and although the lyrics are pretty naff, certainly not a terrible song compared to some others which have won in the past... My personal favourite as an actual song has to be France's entry Et s'il fallait le faire sung by Patricia Kaas; it never stood much of a chance at Eurovision but the lyrics are beautiful; that's the one I'll be downloading...
