Eurovision week-end

I haven't left home for the whole week-end (apart from going to Lynne's last night - see below).
I just don't seem to be able to find the motivation to go anywhere; and often when I'm out I cannot wait to be back home.

Lynne organised a small Eurovision Song Contest party last night. Small in numbers (Martin and Utku, Gary and Luca plus us three) but huge for the amount of food! There was enough to feed at least 20 people!

Mirror, mirror on the wall...


Shock and horror!


Lynne pulled out all the stops!


Some little French tarts


Martin, Utku and Lynne
(P.S: Utku is probably responsible, single-handedly, for the 12 points that the UK gave to Turkey)





Moi


Not the most flattering picture


One of those "What is he wearing?" moments


The UK didn't win but we were all merry


The winner's tiara and medal (Norway was one of my countries)


Our lovely host. Thank you for a great evening, Darling!


Today lazy day at home. I managed to take some pictures of flowers in the garden, in between showers.
Lynne called for a cuppa and I tested the mini doughnut maker that Adrian's Mum bought us for Christmas.

Now it's time for my weekly shave, then a roast dinner and the last 4 episodes of Damages, series 2.

So what are you doing to be RAI/Italy back into the fold?

I know! LOL!

Did you watch any of it on the internet?

[identity profile] london1967.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it was!

And now another 12 months before the next ESC party!

Nope, but I did look at the previews.

I MUST have a pair of those Dame Edna look-a-like specs so WHERE did you get them ? You all look fabulous and clearly great fun was had. Sad that "Malta" didn't get anywhere ... I thought she had a fantastic voice and song even (if on the "eye candy" scale she didn't rank of course).

Hugs F (and to A and Lynne too)

D XXX XXX

We got them in Toronto!! (now you'll have to add it your list of trans-atlantic destinations!)

Big hugs to you and Ricardo.

I read the great reviews the singer from Norway had (breaking a record even) so was curious to view and listen to his production. It left me very unimpressed (which says a lot about the competition). Oh, well! At least you guys seem to have had a lot of fun entertaining each others.

Either YOU'RE quite tall, or those others are rather short!!! :-)

Any excuse to have a party! LOL!

We quite enjoyed a number of the songs too. Norway was OK but we voted for other countries.

As I wasn't wearing high heels, it means that the other guys were a bit short! LOL!
