10:35am: Waiting for the predicted rain to arrive and then leave before going for a bike ride.

03:11pm: A nice jaunt through the other London, round Richmond Park (can't believe I've never been before), then home. Now I will eat everything.

05:15pm: @antimega Have you heard of Colin Stetson? You might like. (Also, please repeat any good recommendations.)

07:06pm: @russelldavies Shuffle over a bit. Ta. Could you pass the crisps?

07:14pm: RT @samuelpepys: Eat and drank and then out again and walked... we to a corner and sang, that everybody got about us to hear us. #eurovision

07:17pm: I already don't understand how #eurovision limped along for so many years until Twitter made it work. I never used to watch, now it's great.

08:14pm: Someone help my husband - he's hyperventilating. Lots of love @maryloosemore

08:44pm: @blech I bet you're watching it on the black market Internet though, so I'm not sure it counts as an official export...

08:45pm: @blech I sit corrected.

08:50pm: @paulpod Yes, Twitter should be making events. (If they had any way to make money from people tweeting about them.)

08:54pm: @matlock Red button hasn't worked for us all evening. :(

09:04pm: Switzerland, Moldova or Serbia for me. #eurovision

10:03pm: I could have watched twice as many songs. The voting... no. #eurovision

10:28pm: So, what can we all watch next weekend? #eurovision
