Eurovision goes with a swing and a cupcake

My parties seldom conclude without some form of baked goods being produced on a cakestand. What can I say? I have a disease.

Orange Broadband was playing up all day and thank goodness I was able to access the fabulous official eurovision site for a moment to download the semi-final winners.

The night went fantastically well with staggering levels of enthusiasm and concentration given to most songs. The three trigger items I chose this year were bare chests, leather and fire. The latter was by far the most toxic and responsible for at least one headache this morning.

All eyes were on the Ukraine, which was sadly cheated of its great potential. Do look them up... Einz, zwei, drei, TANZEN!!

Oh, and as promised, two of my booting purchases, both of which received their first outing this weekend:
