I kept trying to leave, honest I did… “This is the last one, Monty! I can’t get anymore beer down me, Monty. OK, just the one apple liquorice shot then! OK, I’ll try a wine then, that’s better.”
And suddenly it was the crack of dawn as we left the Fan Euro Cafe and found ourselves in the Seven Eleven on Strøget, hoovering up the snackage! You know every kiosk-type shop here is called Seven Eleven, even if it’s actually not!!
It was nose to nipple in there and we just missed Suzy performing, but saw her leaving the venue! She gave me an emotional hug with a tear in her eye! Bless! The Greek boys were in, which is bloody impressive given they rehearsed twice yesterday. They did look tired, to be fair, though not as tired as me!!
So Thursday is here! Eurovision 2014 semi-final two day! Eek!
I lay wallowing in my own self-pity all morning, only waking to slug a bit of water and pop a paracetamol.
At least no beer… Yet!
I’ve lost that Monty, but we will be reunited at 4.30 for UK fan club duties! No pretending this year: we think the UK has a chance…
I’ll be in the press centre before the live show tonight to see if I can decide who’s in my ten! This semi-final is a killer and good songs are going home tonight….
