Trying To Maintain Calm …….

To be honest, you find us on this wonderful Monday morning, in a complete state of tangible and palpable flux …………

…….. hardly able to contain ourselves, yes, it’s Eurovision Week, which aside from Christmas and Halloween, is our next most favourite highlight of the year ………

Coming this year from Rotterdam, we have the two semi finals on Tuesday and Thursday night and then ……. the Grand Final on Saturday!  We can’t wait.

But there’s more …….. unlike last year when the whole of Europe was in lockdown, this year we are able, under the “6 under one roof” rule to return to well oiled traditions and spend, and I quote “…..as long as you like”  with Hugh, Darrell’s very best friend and mentor on all things a la mode and tres en trend at his Worcester bolt hole Le Chicken Coup. He is sending Mellows, his man what does, to collect us on Friday morning. Believe me, we are all in immanent danger of spontaneously combusting at any moment if we don’t calm down!

Darrell can’t/won’t go anywhere now without his supply of brown paper bags. should he start to hyperventilate with it all.

There is sooooooo much to do, three cases to pack, gifts to wrap, plus comestible delicacies to purchase for our collective delectation, not to mention organising our entire Tuesday and Thursday evenings around said semi finals, nothing must be left to chance, however, in the meantime normal life has to go on, including the cooking, cleaning and the school run. It’s going to be soooooooooooooooooooooooo hard!

So, if we’re not here tomorrow, you’ll probably realise it’s all got too much for us! What are we like?

Wow! Eurovision, PLUS seeing Hugh, all in one week! Wonderful!

"Darrell can’t/won’t go anywhere now without his supply of brown paper bags. should he start to hyperventilate with it all."

I don't think Hugh will be impressed with a brown paper bag. Maybe Darrell should design something more tasteful. Something that the likes of Sir Elton of John would consider using.

P.S. Inky Pinky Parlez Vous!
