It's been a rough month for the arts and entertainment industry  :(
A lot of people don't believe that the loch ness monster exists. Now, I don't know anything about zooology, biology, geology, herpetology, evolutionary theory, evolutionary biology, marine biology, cryptozoology, palaeontology or archaeology... but I think... what if a dinosaur got into the lake?

He touched many people's lives. He had a gentle charm, and always with a twinkle in his eyes. Even the embarrassment of him accepting money for fronting Children In Need did him no real harm. He remained ever popular. Sad to see him depart.

Not being a "Friend of Eurovision Song" I missed this - but did see/hear a snippet on the Beeb's TV news this morning.
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Very appropriate.
I put the show on last night when the lady with short silver hair and a silver dress with wings was singing, can't remember where she came from.  Croatia I think.  Nice looking girl, silver hair seems to be fashionable at the moment.

I didn't see or hear Graham Norton speak about Sir Terry but I missed his wit, he was great fun.  It was worth putting up with that dreadful show just for him.

Still it wasn't bad last night, I particularly liked the Russian entry and also liked the Maltese, Austrian* and Spanish ones.  I didn't think the Ukranian song, though a good song in its way, was really appropriate for the competition but obviously others didn't agree with me because it won.  Well done to the Ukraine.
* the Austrian singer was sweet and looked like a fairy or a bridesmaid in her peachy dress, she was so pleased too.

I wonder what Sir Terry would have made of it?  No idea what Australia was doing there, quite funny really.  We're used to Israel and have forgotten that isn't quite in Europe.

Yes, fortunately I already had a glass of something stiff (essential in in order to get through the thing) and raised it at Graham's request.
