01. I have a seriously huge weekend: Eurovision, The Pearl Fishers, the Sound of Music musical and hoping to squeeze in seeing the Blues play on Sunday.
02. You know how much I love Eurovision, right? Obviously I’m barracking for not-a-European-country-but-allowed-in-because-of-dedication-to-the-cause entrant Australia, but I do think that Ireland and Czech Republic will be front-runners.
**post-semi-final-2-update: Lithuania for the win (Ireland robbed. Australia was awesome).**
03. *sigh* some people just can’t play nicely though.
04. Nearly 100 eighties bands in seven seconds – I actually can’t stop watching this.
05. I have a new favourite stripey t-shirt. Hooray!
06. Last week I mentioned the funniest book I’ve read so far this year – a few days later I discovered Harrington has a new book out next year. Hooray!
07. Those that know me IRL, know that I change my fragrance about once a decade. If that. *hey, I’m loyal* I’m considering this but putting it through my rigorous testing process*.
08. I love a variation on a theme – this rosé sangria.
08. Soft-shell crab sliders are in my very-near-future.
* trying it on a million times in the shop over the course of six months and waiting to see if it gives me a migraine.

My weekend will also feature lots of Eurovision! Trying to psych myself up to get up at 5am for our semi-final but seriously not a morning person, so there’s lots of reasons to doubt my ability to follow this through!

I don’t mind early mornings – my whole family was up at 5am this morning for the semi-finals!
Get thee behind me with your stripey t-shirt! I must not buy anymore of these. What is it about stripes that’s so irresistible in a top?
I don’t know… I can’t stop… I have a wardrobe full of stripes!
Me, too. There seems to be something addictive about them.
I wear that perfume & get lots of comments on how nice it is – take the plunge!
Excellent. I tend to like light, citrus scents (Eternity, Light Blue) and my first few trials of this one suggest it fits the same category.
Must get my hands on a copy of Penelope! And I’m the same with perfume. Out of sheer laziness, to be honest.
Too many times I’ve bought perfumes after trying them in the shop, only to put them on when I get home and hate them (always happens after the Duty Free Pressure Buy). Or they give me a headache.
Eurovision!!! I’m so excited!
Did you think the second semi was not quite as competitive as the first? I picked 7 of the 10 (seriously though, Georgia… what were the judges thinking?!).
The way those 80s bands flashed by so quickly reminded me of how I actually EXPERIENCED the 80s…they, too, went by like a flash. A blur, even.
I love the look of that drink!
Enjoy your weekend of Eurovision.
Here is MY BOOKISH THURSDAY POST
Ha!
I will make that drink, although we’re heading towards winter and it does seem more summery fare…
Is Eurovision this weekend? Oh I love it so much and it’s so much fun on Twitter too!
I actually think Twitter and Eurovision are a match made in heaven.
Of course I’m only just catching up on blogs now so know you’ve enjoyed Eurovision!
I must admit I haven’t even seen Dami’s song so am hoping your post today includes a link!
