I hope anyone who visited Liverpool for Eurovision did not come across the creeps and creepettes that are so dominant in this city during their visit.
We stayed home. My son didn't want to go to town, even though at least one of his friends had gone and I honestly don't have the energy for stuff like that anymore (hopefully, when my life is where I want it, I'll be earning more and therefore spending less energy on work so might be able to give up a few days to attend live events). We ordered pizza and the delivery was timed perfectly to arrive right when Eurovision started.
I did not like the result last night. I did not like Sweden's entry at all. I didn't like Estonia or Germany either. I seem the odd one out with Germany. Lots of people seem to have liked them (at least on social media, they came in last).
My son and his friends really liked Israel and I must admit, she was fun. Finland seemed to be saying sorry for entering The Rasmus last year (I hate them as much as I hate Phil Collins, but at least I'm not stalked by The Rasmus every time I switch on the TV or radio). I'm surprised Finland or Israel didn't win.
It was Norway who had my vote. Although I had trouble deciding because there were so many high quality acts this year. What sealed it for me was looking like Loki puked on her, so a bit of Norway's national identity in the costume design as well as the song (although I really think Marvel have everything to do with making Loki the most popular Norse God).
I really liked the UK's entry. Mae Muller did a good job and she did not deserve to come in second to last.

The highlight of the evening was Netta (Israeli winner, 2018) cover of Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round (Like a Record). That's a really good song for her.
And that's it from me. It has been a very busy weekend, even with that extra day off on Friday. Next weekend I am only going to rest. Maybe watch some TV in bed or on the Sky Q (glad I finally upgraded), maybe read a book. Once the landing is done, I'll get back to working on my lost skills and writing. Plus I'm letting my Adobe subscriptions run out so I can get their big package at the beginning of the month.
