Eurovision and going to Church.

Tweet

It was the Eurovision song contest on Saturday. My Mum and I watched it together, although half the time she was asleep! When the results were revealed we were really expecting Great Britain to get nil point again. It was the national votes first, then the public vote comes afterwards. First the votes 1-10 are revealed, and then a spokesperson from each country says who they want they're 12 points to go to. Straight away we got some points. So I said to Mum, at least we haven't got no points this year. But then we started getting 12's! And they kept coming! Before long we were in the No.1 position! Neither me not my Mum could believe it! She was sitting there with her mouth open in shock! We ended up with 300 odd points I think before the public vote. When the public votes are revealed they do it differently, to save time. They go from the country who currently has the least points, which I think last night was Germany, and they say how many points in total they received, then they move on to the country with the second least amount of points and so on until they come to the country with the most points. And here everything can change. UK were No.1 so we had to wait till last to see if we'd won or not. Ukraine was in fifth or six place at this point. When they got to the Ukraine they had a massive 400 points from the public vote! It shot them straight to the No.1 position. By this time, the UK had dropped to about Fourth place. Eventually it was our turn and we got about 100 odd points which pushed us up the leaderboard. Eventually the Ukraine won and Great Britain came second! It was such a late night on Saturday so I didn't watch any Doctor Who before going to bed. I just put on an Andre Rieu CD and went to bed! I went to Church again on Sunday. I put my pretty pink dress on again, and I made some earrings to match them, which I wore to Church. I walked to Church again. It was promising thunder storms on Sunday but I don't think they happened, unless they happened at night when I was asleep! It was OK when I was walking to Church, only a few clouds around. I had my cup of tea in a proper mug and I nabbed 2 ginger nut biscuits in a little packet. My arrived 5 minutes before the service started! We sang some sogs, a lady came up and prayed, and Penny spoke on the feeding of the four thousand. We sang another song and went home. We could take some mini St John's gospels to give away. They were in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and had a picture of the Queen on the front. I took 6 when I went home. I walked home again afterwards. The weather was still fine. Next week it's the baptismal service. How was your day?
