Apologies and round up of the first half

Well it’s just gone 21.55 EET and me is now back at my hotel room for the first time before midnight 30 in 3 days … Therefore it’s the first chance I have had to catch up on the site.

First of all some apologies. Number 1 – apologies for the lack of video reports – there simply just has not been time – HOWEVER, there is one report of the Latvian sign-language that will be put up and I promise a couple more to come as well.

At this said meal, there was a rough scoring session , where upon it was decided that there would be a bet of 10 Hrryvna as to which songs would qualify (and no we were not pissed!!) – details of which for another time.

But back to the songs. Now, I know you lot have been reading so, for the benefit of you all, and to flesh things out a bit, are my considered thoughts on the first half of the semi final draw (and I have just opened a super cheap bottle of Vodka. Read on if you dare …
