Day 132 - Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Tonight's 2nd Eurovision semi-final gave excuse to host my two Dublin-based siblings and their partners at the Lighthouse, once again putting on the most sumptuous of spreads, provided by Bombay Pantry - purely because Indian food is a young wives' tale recipe for imminent childbirth (sister-in-law Joanne is but 9 weeks away from due-date of the first New Generation McEvoy).

The cuisine proved to be an absolute hit, unlike most of the Eurovisual choons, although the standard was considerably better than that of the 1st Semi-Final. Jedward put in a terrifically uncoordinated but energy-filled performance, which won them one of the ten available spots in Saturday's Grand Final - great success!
