Oooh how does one get the Joined label on posts? I could find that very useful…

The training is scaled back this coming week as I will be up north again for work, so just a couple of easy runs, but then back into the tempo sessions next Saturday! Looking forward to what’s coming up… ❤️💪

Compared to where I was with my running training this time two years ago, the fact that I find these runs really easy now at this pace is amazing - nice way to finish off week 1 of the marathon plan!

A man after my own heart - Rapsodia also one of my fav ESC songs of all time…

Complètement d’accord ! J’imagine que tu te sentes mal aussi sûr cette situation totalement dérangée. Je vais voyager toujours en Autriche mais je sais que je m’amuses pas bien du tout…

Runna once again a little inconsistent with their feedback, as I followed their advice to the letter and yet was still told I wasn’t doing it right. Never mind - managed to hit/exceed all the targets anyway!

Next one is a 13km long run tomorrow - meanwhile, time to chill for a bit… ❤️💪

One of my better interval sessions in a long while, and all while I’m still maintaining a residual cough from the cold I recently had!

My stance remains as in the last couple of years - for their actions, Israel deserves neither my respect nor my acknowledgement for next year’s contest. I just hope that I can still find some enjoyment in what remains of the Eurovision I used to know and love…

My heart goes out to all my Eurovision family and others in the fandom going through this fucked up time. The EBU has let everybody down and has shown itself to be a toothless tiger in terms of confronting the reality of the situation before it - it’s unforgivable and wrong…

I have a feeling I am not the only one the fandom in this position either. I would be going to Vienna with my eyes wide open to everything that’s going on.

I’m saying all this in the interests of honesty and transparency. I want to ensure that I maintain some sort of integrity in this shitshow…
December 6, 2025 at 12:14 PM
If I do end up going to Vienna, I know that my experience there is going to be vastly different to past contests - the 2024 contest in Malmö will seem like heaven compared to what will happen next year. At the same time though, I also want to savour what good is left in Eurovision…

I’m a man of my word when it comes to these things, so my first inclination is to follow through. But I’m also someone who likes to think they have some sort of a moral compass. To make it very clear, I believe Israel should NOT be in the contest at all - their actions in Gaza are reprehensible…
