I've been able to go the last 2 times as it's been on the middle Sunday of the Easter hols. This year it's on on the last Sunday. I could probably shuffle my days around but the fact it's my sons birthday the week after makes it a bit trickier. Never mind!!!

No London #Eurovision party for me this year, even more so now I have booked my soon to be 11yo's birthday party the same day.

started watching the jury voting.
Nice to see they are about as confused/not bothered/undecided as to who the fave is too
At least the audience vote feels more of a decider #Melfest

Not watching #melfest or at least I am not right now... I've not really been keeping up with this preselection and on looking at a recap of the finalists I'm not really sure what to think... Might tune in for the voting and stuff at the end #eurovision

It's not *great* but is an enjoyable song to listen to, plus you get the title stuck in your head quite quickly... I just kinda wonder how more eccentric and different the entry could have been left to LMNC's own devices...?
