masterchef?

Hehe, somehow I don't think so, but my Apple and Cinnamon cake came out pretty well - it's a basic sponge with some apples, cinnamon and sultanas thrown in - I've never been a great cake maker (or eater to be honest) but i think it tastes OK :)

taken Weds 23rd May 2007 - soooooooooooooooo sweet - bless :)

and the winner is....SERBIA!

Much to my delight, (mainly that the oddities from Ukraine didn't win), I'm quite pleased that Serbia won because it is actually a good song and it made it into my points chart!

Congratulations to Marija Serifovic, who sang Molitva for Serbia - thier first time as a solo country in Eurovision (they used to be coupled with Montenegro)

Although the UK didn't do brilliantly, we did get points (cos the UK papers said we wouldn't!) and we didn't come last! (that honour was Ireland's, and rightly so) - by the way, thank you Malta for the 12 points!!! :D

the results of Mark's jury are in...

OK, it was quite a good Eurovision this year - with the exception of Ireland, Romania and Bulgaria, everyone performed well and the results of my jury (me) are as follows...

1 point to France (La France, un point)
2 points to Turkey (La Turkie, deu point)
3 points to Belarus (Belarussie, trois point)
4 points to Finland (La Finland, quatre point)
5 points to Greece (La Grece, cinq point)
6 points to Serbia (La Serbie, six point)
7 points to Latvia (Latonie, sept point)
8 points to Germany (L'Allemagne, huit point)
10 points to Spain (L'Espangne dix point)
and the 12 points go to......

.......SWEDEN! (la Suede, douze point)

I have a feeling that Ukraine will win tho with their bizarre song, but I would love Sweden (or even the UK) to win

I will post the actual winner later ....

the results

Well to say that I'm stunned is a bit of an understatement - none of the best songs got through!

I thought Switzerland was a certainty to go through, as well as Denmark but neither did!

The ten qualifying songs going through to the final on Saturday are....

1 - Belarus
2 - FYR Macedonia
3 - Slovenia
4 - Hungary
5 - Georgia
6 - Latvia
7 - Serbia
8 - Bulgaria
9 - Turkey
10 - Moldova

I got 3 right last year and 4 right this year, so in another 6 years I may get all 10 right!!!!! Seems very "Eastern" again (YAWN!)

Eurovision 2007 Semi Final

OK, well it's been an interesting Semi Final this year!

I LOVE the stage with the huge screens - not quite sure about the runway but the stage looks great.

The male host (Mikko) is HOT! ;)

So, my Top 10 entries are as follows, (I'm not gonna even mention Israel and the Czech Republic who were awarded my lowest scores!!!)

1 - Denmark
2 - Andorra
3 - The Netherlands
4 - Austria
5 - Serbia
6 - Cyprus
7 - Malta
8 - Belarus
9 - Latvia
10 - Slovenia

Back later with the actual qualifying 10!!!!!!!!

Lacey pics

Awwwwwwwwwww I went to see Clare and her new baby, Lacey Victoria Smith today (I gave Clare the idea for Victoria - Clare wanted a royal name as Leah's middle name is Alexandra, so I suggested Victoria and Clare decided she really liked that!!!! yay me!!!!) so anyway, here are some photos of one gorgeous baby :)
