I’m on vacation but had a sick day yesterday. A migrate which floored me for a while. I open LinkedIn today and I’m met with an advert for migrate treatment.

That was a very fast week in Minneapolis with work. Zero jet lag as I kept to my usual Irish hours, bed between 4am and 5am and up for 10am. Which in MN meant bed for 11pm and awake by 4am. It was perfect. Now it’s time to head home. Decided to upgrade to business using Avios.

Saw #Evita tonight. Closing night. Lost for words. The way they produced the balcony scene. Thousands outside. Stunning performance. A ten minute standing ovation.

As we leave Basel - the city opened its arms. A neighbour on our street stopped to thank us for visiting. Scrolling on transport real time are messages thanking fans for visiting. And on trams there are multilingual screens saying thanks again for visiting. A wondering parting touch.

Down at the Eurovision arena for semi two. Security much tighter. My trusty Irish flag which NRK of Norway gave me during the filing of the Irish postcard for Niamh was taken off me. It’s seen lots of Eurovisions. And ceremonial dumped in the bin. Inside at least. Security is tight.

A daytime rave. In a church. In Switzerland. For Eurovision. Okay it’s empty as everyone is outside in the sun. Random!
