Great performance. Should I get up at 5am Sunday to watch the Final live?Errr...probably not.

 

[Chicago1]

Pub for lunch today I reckon, might be a burger and chips with a pint scenario.

I can't decide what to get from Uber Eats or Doordash tomorrow. I'm not really feeling pizzaish. I've bookmarked a few meals. Honey chicken looks like a possibility or fried pork chop over rice. I wish the only restaurant here that has my favourite Sweet and Sour pork chop wasn't so expensive.

Doesn't help you of course but going to Asian areas for their food is so worth it, value for money and quality is so much better. My very white area has average Asian food in general, I guess they have to make it blander for Aussie tastes, the owners probably reckon it's no good as well.

I live in Melton and there are a bazillion Indian restaurants. Traditional Chinese, not so much with a few Thai. I had a wider variety to choose from in Keilor East. Even ordered from an American barbecue place and a Polish restaurant. Not one Greek restaurant here. At least the Italian pizza places are fairly good. I'd give anything to have some Jewish deli's nearby.

I was trying to work out how long the performances will take, to know what time the voting would be. Even if it's 7am that's still too early for a Sunday! Plus I'm getting up at 6am tomorrow to go to the holiday house, so I'm going to be stuffed.

I actually like her song. Looks like it's fifth favourite to win. I wasn't living here when Delta's career took off, so I had never heard of her until she popped up on a few TV shows. I like her. She has that all Australian girl image to her.

Second favourite in the odds. If she doesn't win it, Australia never will. Best song this year and it is not even close.

Voting apparently opens just before the first song is performed now. Advantage to perform in the first half these days imo.

Saw that. I like the song more each time I listen to it. However, it has an upstream battle since it's not European.

Get up at 5am?

I thought you would just stay up all night.

No. Church services during the summer end about 5am and I barely make it. Might go to bed after the footy.

Delta is performing 8th, which is good then.

 

[Voula]

Carlton won .

It really is crazy how teams win after the coach has been sacked.

 

[Kram]

Delta not really my cup of tea in music.

Doesn't mean that she isn't totally brilliant though, amazing voice, what a show.

Hope she wins!

 

[JackNah_8]

Delta was great. Hope she wins

 

[Voula]

The voting is all over the place.
It's ridiculous that some countries just give their top points to their neighbours.

OK public voting reveal now .

 

[Voula]

I have no idea how this public vote works !

 

[Voula]

Spoiler: Eurovision Spoiler

The public vote is bullshit!!

Bulgaria were always going to win but Delta deserved better than 4th place.

 

[YeoShuey]

We should take a stand next year and withdraw any future participation in the contest. I've seen enough

Yes. It's so bias.

Agree. Unfortunately Australia will never win because of the voting. It's a joke.

 

[Chicago1]

I tried. I stayed up and got into bed at about 4:30am and looked at YouTube on my phone. At 5am I switched to SBS. I saw the first two countries and fell asleep with my phone on next to me. zzzzźzz My alarm went off at 9:20am as usual and I turned it off. My personal alarm check in woke me up ten minutes later. Once I checked in I went back to sleep until noon.

Spoiler

I checked to see how Delta went. Disappointing. I might watch the show this evening.

 

[Chicago1]

Cancelled going to the Bulldogs match against Melbourne next Sunday. Still cautious after my fall. Last time I went exhausted me and I ended up in hospital the next morning. Now going in July against West Coast. At least we might have a few injured players back and I might be feeling more physically confident to go.

Have an appt with my kidney doctor tomorrow in Richmond. My usual AgedCare helper can't drive me, so I have someone new booked. I have a regular routine for my specialists trips which I'll have to show the new guy.

Man what a soldier.

I get lazy going to the footy over a 4 hour drive.

I'm becoming more tired every time I leave the retirement village. Even my trip doing errands on Thursday tired me out.

Hopefully the driver knows where they're going this time!
