We haven't watched the Eurovision for years , it has become to dire in my opinion .
Have you tried watching it with the subtitles option turned on on the TV , we used to have a good laugh at the lyrical content of some of the songs ....lol

Uzzi LOL that's a good reason to remember it :)

I was quite fond of 'Go' by Gigliola Cinquetti (sp) back in the 70s, that actually did well over here afterwards ...and this one

I never used to eat mince pies, or very rarely, but a few years ago I discovered Waterfields' mince pies. They are lovely and I really enjoy them, enough that I can eat a box of six, whereas previously when I tried a mince pies I would struggle to eat one.

Once a year I make green tomato mincemeat. It is delicious on toast so some years there is enough left for mince pies.

Once every year I get the cat vaccinated.
