Really glad I did decide not to watch TV or listen to Radio until both <em>Dr Who </em>and <em>Eurovision</em> were over. Heard on <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/">TripleJ</a> this morning (while walking the dogs) that they'd announced the Eurovision winner yesterday on the news updates, much to the annoyance of some! Ah, well, things back to normal, but it's going to a LONG wait until the Dr Who <strong>Xmas Special,</strong> which I'm sure is also the <strong>50th Anniversary special</strong> as well. "To be continued..." indeed!<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=laura_seabrook&ditemid=1459013" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2010-06-12:524223:1354281EUROVISION2012-05-28T03:29:58Z2012-05-28T03:29:58Zpublic0<div class="postmessage">Well I watched Eurovision for three nights straight, and overall enjoyed it.

Not going to miss anything if I can avoid that. Have a feeling less countries are competing this year.
