Watching my Man city team (hopefully) win the cup then a Eurovision themed party to celebrate 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Unfortunately, one of the DC has a tournament this afternoon. Thinking of sitting in the car with R5 on. It would be wrong to hope they get knocked out in the early stages, right...?

On the plus side, they are the most staunch Eurovision loyalist in the family (after me), so I suppose I can forgive them.

Well I can't stand Eurovision and I'm afraid I dislike both teams in the FA Cup final. But I hope you enjoy your perfect day.

Personally I'm very much invested in the Celtic Hearts title decider today. I won't enjoy it - unless Hearts take very decisive lead early on, and even then it will be nail biting until the final whistle. But definitely the game adds a lot of excitement to today and I'll be shouting at the tv with enthusiasm

Sounds great!

I have fond memories of FA Cup Final day as a kid - it used to feel like such an event and consume all the TV coverage.

Maybe I should put off my visit to town until this afternoon because it might be quieter 😁

Enjoy your day. I will be watching Eurovision later and playing message hockey with student DD who loves Eurovision.
