Two hours til show time...

Had a nice old stroll along the promenade today after collecting our tickets for the shows from the JW Marriott hotel from our lovely friends at OGAE UK. The wind fair blew my wig off and it's a blustery night here in Baku Baku...

The wind machine I eluded to yesterday is not required as the gods have looked down upon the Abshelon peninsula kindly and provided us with a fully extended Azeri flag.  The flame towers have now been programmed to pulsate to the flags of the semi final countries and it really is a sight to behold.  The buzz is palpable and the backdrop is really quite remarkable.  The strobe lights are still beaming up from the points on the roof of the Crystal Hall and the outer shell is illuminated with blue lights.  Look out for the images at the end of the postcards tonight during the show as the Crystal Hall will be illuminated in the colours of the respective countries. A nice touch!

We had a fantastic dinner at the Fountain Square City Cafe with friends from All Kinds Of Everything and did the traditional 'napkin of doom' predictions...

I am absolutely thrilled to be here and will pop if I get any more excited...

Enjoy your semi people!!!!
