Literally the first time I ever predicted a Eurovision winner. Maybe I’m down with the kids. Suspect more likely the oldies are voting. Bhangaranga.

Didn’t have time to take a photo because I was using my phone to keep score but I got to see a beautiful sunset over Regents Park last night as I watched my boy play cricket. Sooo much better than standing in the freezing rain on the side of a muddy football pitch. #cricketmum > #footballmum any day
