Spent the morning at work with my daughter. She prefers to do her homework there while I catch up with paperwork. We could not spend too long there as my wife needed to have a haircut (note to self, book one before lockdown starts again). Once I had dropped her off in town for it, I went home and watched Star Wars Rebels with my son. He had gone through a period where he had stopped watching it with me, but it was great to watch it with him again. I did get to go for a short walk later when my daughter went out for a walk with one of her school friends and her dog. After collecting my wife, I had to collect the girls as they had an incident on their walk which turned out not to really be one, but had them shaken up anyway.
In the warm, as a family, we watched Eurovision, the film. And my wife and I enjoyed it. I think the kids did as well, but not as much as the two of us. While we have made Eurovision a thing for them, they do not appreciate it as much as my wife and I. The film, while corny and predictable, seemed to capture that part of the spirit of Eurovision quite well and if it was not about Eurovision, would have been too silly. But the balance it had for the topic was great. My wife had wanted to watch it for a while and had mentioned this on several occasions when we were picking films. After listening to the interviews from Rachel McAdams about the American perspective of this, I had to watch it as well. She was not aware of just how this is watched across Europe, and also Australia. I would say it is a must for those who enjoy the contest. At least to complain about it!
