Sophie texted me early this morning to say that the host city for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest will be... Vienna! Our gamble paid off! We said we'd look at flights this evening and pay for the hotel, as I would hate for them to cancel on us!
At 2pm, I drove to Kettering to see Mum and Dad. We had an enjoyable hour chatting and eating some chocolates I'd bought for them. They were pleased about the new soft play area and proud that the name was continuing.
Back home, I tidied up and then sat with Keith to watch the last episode of The Assassin, which had a satisfying ending. I wonder if there'll be a second series, because there were still a few things to tie up... what was Chantaines, for example?
Once we'd watched the show, I dashed about doing the chores, printing off more shopping lists, hoovering and tidying up. Rather than play cards tonight, Sophie and I looked at flights to Vienna and found they had gone up since the last time we'd looked. It would have been madness to have booked them at the beginning of August without knowing either the host city or the date, but we both agreed we wanted to go, even if we don't manage to get tickets to the actual final on the 16th of May. We also paid for the hotel, and I printed off the receipt. I think that hotel rooms will be rarer than hen's teeth by next year!
Sophie also put an interest in for tickets to the opera on the Friday night. Our hotel is right next door to the Opera House, so this would be wonderful. We aren't guaranteed tickets, like last time, but we're keeping everything crossed. The opera is Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss and sounds like something we would enjoy!
Keith bustled about cooking a very simple supper of breaded fish, and then we settled down to watch Masterchef. We resisted Destination X afterwards, as it was time for a read and then bed!
