Eurovision Song Contest

Well, I'm in a right cranky old mood this morning. Is it because...
  1. The cat got attacked by a dog and its cost us just under $600 in vet fees - NO
  2. One of my children and my husband are both sick and underfoot on My Day Off - NO
  3. I ate an entire packet of caramel crowns yesterday - NO
  4. The price of petrol - NO
  5. The price of groceries - NO
  6. I have a giant spot on my chin - NO
  7. Mortgage interest rates - NO
I'm a right cranky mood because Portugal didn't win the Eurovision song contest.

Russia did.

RUSSIA.

I know. One manky singer with a violinist and an ice-skater was better than the lovely Ms Portugal and her slightly Greek looking backing singers.

Sigh. Is there no justice in the world? Even Terry Wogan - the pithy British commentator - sound cross about it. Rumour has it, that it was a "done deal."

Am still trying to come to terms with the French singer sucking helium out of a blow-up globe to make himself sing falsetto. AND the Azerbaijan dancers, never have I seen a g-string so far up a bottom crack - HOW did they still manage to dance like that? HOW?

Its a mysterious world.
