365 Pink Feather Boas All in a Row - Day 146 : Eurovision 2010 - Day 1.... Kerry and a YouTube of Euro Kitsch

My Zen-like frame of mind continued today but mingled with a lovely sense of fun and excitement, which Kerry and I later termed the 'Eurovision Effect'.

It's partly due to the sheer sense of fun and campness that pervades this song contest, but also to the fact that Kerry and I are wonderfully close, long-standing friends, and sharing this weekend with her (and my gorgeous guy who has worked so hard in Bathurst to find some cool things for the party, even with a monstrously busy schedule) when she is so passionate and excited about life generally but Eurovison particularly, will be a hoot, and was from the moment I met her at Gloria Jeans in the QANTAS terminal.

We spent the first night grabbing some stuff for the party - everything including water bottles in red, white and blue to match Norway's colours - and then watching the 1st Semi-Final of 2009 on DVD while eating yummy pizza from across the road. So much fun, and oh-so-silly but how we love it!

Let the glitter-filled, pyrotechnics-saturated, camp-as-a-row-of-tents fun begin!!
