The Eurovision Song Contest


We bargained with C this afternoon over this evenings' Eurovision Song Contest on tv. To the left is his reaction when we gave in.

He was very keen to stay up past his bedtime to see the Ukrainian and Hungarian entries. He had heard rumors that the UK entry was a bit "camp", and therefore wanted to see the post-ironic French act as well. Disappointment really set in when he understood that the Americans hadn't even entered.

Without telling Mum or I, he had put down his allowance at Ladbrokes betting shop on Romania to win.

As happens, he fell asleep during the show and missed the Finale in Helsinki.

And missed the winner: Serbia (voted maximum points by Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Bosnia).

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
