I'm loving it so far! Got the popcorn, haribo and a big bar of mint Aero ready and waiting after a tea of cheese burgers and potato wedges.

Always watch Eurovision, we usually get slowly sozzled on sangria, but not this year. Slightly depressingly, we watched Eurovision 2019 from a villa in Mallorca (we also had sangria). Reminding me that, had Covid-19 not broken out, we'd be on our jollies this week

Never mind, trying to get into the Covid-19 Song Contest
