Saturday and I wake up late after what felt a disturbed night, I make drinks for my partner and I. So we sit and chat about the day ahead. Eventually we get up and I get to indulge in a bacon sandwich. After some time sitting around the garden table we decide to go to the garden centre to get plants for my partners mother’s patio pots. Before we leave I get a message from my son to tell me that my granddaughter is staying in hospital and will need an abscess removed. Always a difficult time when a child goes into hospital. We go to the garden centre and buy a trolley load of plants. Of course I cannot resist buying some for our own garden.

Back home I set about planting some of the plants in the garden and the raised beds. It takes a while and I also feed the hedgehog. Having put everything away I find I have time to get in a training session on the rower. It goes reasonably well.

I change and settle down in front of the TV for the cup final. Its a game that goes to extra time and penalties with Liverpool finally winning the cup. There is just enough time to get a meal and the its time for the Eurovision song contest. We have score cards and categories of point giving. So by the points giving stage of the competition its is well past eleven o’clock. I sit drafting the blog as the scores roll in, unbelievably United Kingdom are in the lead but I doubt its going to last.

And the result is… we lead after the national juries and the great public votes leave us SECOND behind the emotional Ukraine vote. Well that’s done for another year, so tomorrow is weigh in day and that is what matters in my world right now.
