What???

Eurovision just ended and, somehow we are not last.

Or in the bottom five.

We came SECOND!

That’s truly truly baffling! I was surprised when we got points from the first jury and then we kept getting them (including so many twelves I lost count). At the end of the jury vote we were first!

The winners were Ukraine which are worthy winners, though who knows what will happen there.

I’m so surprised though that the countries I voted for didn’t do as well as expected. France, Finland, Norway, Australia… they didn’t do as well as I expected.

But I’m just in utter shock we did so well.

I loved UK team's ecstatic "We got points!" when the first points came, and then the increasing disbelief when the points kept coming :D I was also suprised how few audience votes Finland, Australia and Norway got, because they seemed like the kind of things that non-jury voters would love - I was especially surprised by Australia's low scores, who I thought had a chance of being the new Conchita Wurst.
