I do not mind the singing.
The problem is my waking up
To find my ears still ringing.
Like a lot of people, every year we have a party to watch the Eurovision Song Contest, which took place last night. My kids, grandkids and spouses were all present, and that's a lot of us. Eurovision occupies a unique place in British cultural life, I would suggest. I wouldn't want to try to define exactly what that is, but love-hate just doesn't get it.
My favourite was the Austrian entry which came third, although I like dthe Israelis entry - pictured - as well. Incidentally, this is a sketch I made with watercolour pencils, which I've only ever used once or twice in the past.
