I have been out most of the day, but doesn't look like I've missed much!

ChessieFL · 13/05/2023 15:17

I’ve just turned on Dan’s match - I was surprised it was still on. Looks like the first set was close.

I've been doing other things and keeping an intermittent eye on it. Apparently there was a bit of aggro between them during the tiebreak.

I haven't really been concentrating on much- I have so much to do, a headache starting and no motivation. ( and I want to stay awake for Eurovision Grin).

Ooh one set all now between Dan and RCB - this match has literally been on all day!

I’m off out soon for Eurovision shenanigans - I’ve decided against fancy dress Grin

Dsis was talking about wearing a beard (that my DNeph had as part of a Viking outfit) and either going as Sam Ryder or Conchita Wurst Grin

Grin she definitely should go as Conchita

It seems a really long day today.

Have great time , Fizzy. No-one else here really cares about Eurovision, but they have been indulging my obsession this week. My dds have said they will watch- but I don't imagine they will last much longer than half an hour before they get bored and leave me to it. Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 13/05/2023 16:43

Grin I’ve not really watched much of it this week so feel a bit underprepared!

I know our song and have seen some people in weird green tops/sleeves who I think are Finland and I know that another country (Croatia?) strip down to their y-fronts? Should be interesting … or it will be after a few drinks I’m sure Grin

The Dan match is perfectly even - not sure who will win this one - I bet they’re tired!

Raahh · 13/05/2023 16:58

GrinI always love the more ridiculous acts. I don't like the UK one, it's just very generic chart fodder and i don't think it's very good.

Finland are one of the favourites- having an instantly recognisable 'costume' is always a good thing at Eurovision Grin

I'm sticking with the Moldovan Cake by the Ocean crew.

If Dan manages to win this he's going to be exhausted. Well in either case he'll be exhausted!

Bugger, double fault.

RCB is very good but also very smug looking!

Feel sorry for Dan, it really could have gone either way.

Raahh · 14/05/2023 10:50

I can't watch at the moment, but I've just seen that Chickenato took the first set against RBA.

Foggy is playin Rune after that match. Could be interesting.

Fizzywinegum · 14/05/2023 10:58

I seem to have lost track of the tennis after all the rain delays yesterday - Rune and Foggy are playing each other at about 11.30 today which could be interesting

I survived Eurovision yesterday - I didn’t think I would be saying this but it was all a bit too civilised! We went to the outdoor thing in town and that was good fun but we had booked somewhere inside to watch the actual thing and everyone was on their best behaviour - very disappointing Grin

Even most of the acts were too sensible - I did enjoy Finland and thought they should have won! I voted for Norway - Croatia in their baggy y-fronts were too scary! Felt a bit sorry for Mae - don’t think she deserved to come second to last

We did wonder who the old man on the drums was on the Liverpool medley thing until we realised it was Roger Taylor from Queen Grin

Hope everyone has a good day - it’s quite warm here

Raahh · 14/05/2023 11:30

It's a nice day here, Fizzy- not as warm as yesterday, but overall I'm glad the northwest has had decent weather for the Eurovision shenanigans.
I enjoyed watching, as usual. I never liked our song/act so wasn't fussed where we came . It was a bit less bonkers than some years, and none of the ones I really liked (Germany, Australia) came anywhere.

It took me a while to realise it was Roger Taylor . I first just thought it was odd there was a random older bloke on drums Grin. And he looked like Father Christmas.

Fizzywinegum · 14/05/2023 11:36

Grin Father Christmas! I also seem to have missed Princess Catherine playing the piano!

The weather looks a bit better in Rome today

Fizzywinegum · 14/05/2023 11:40

Oh Sakkari is out - every match I put on seems to have just finished

I just spent about 5 minutes watching Foggy wandering about in what looked like the players work out/chill out zone - someone looked as if they were eating crisps Grin
