We’re waiting in the press seentre to be escorted over into the arena for the first time. We have to go en masse as there’s a door that doesn’t look like a door that we might not find alone or something like that. After that we can come and go as we please. The volunteers in the press centre are wonderfully friendly, big beaming smiles, it’s absolutely lovely to see.
I can’t wait to get a look inside the huge hall. We think it might be the tallest building Eurovision has ever been held in (can I get a fact check from those of you in the anoraks?). It’s also probably the most remote. We got a cab in the end this morning. We’ve kept the receipt, we’ll be submitting it to Phil as expenses…
