Omens

Hello again from a clammy Kyiv. It's grey and overcast here today, but very muggy. It's surprising that the air hasn't cleared, as we had a torrential downpour last night.

After some of the shocks of Thursday night (namely Denmark and Latvia, as I wasn't surprised about FYR Macedonia, who only have to fart into a microphone to get votes from neighbours, it seems), predicting anything about tonight seems foolhardy.

Much has been made here by Norwegian fans, that this must surely be Norway's turn to win again. Some of them have this on their t-shirts:

1985 Bobbysocks
1995 Secret Garden
2005 Wig Wam ??

Thanks to Roger on the Yahoo! Groups Eurovision General list for pointing out another omen:

Bobbysocks sang in position 13.
Secret Garden sang in position 5.
Wig Wam were in position 13 on Thursday and they're in position 5 tonight.

Cue the spooky music! Oslo 2006! (Which I doubt if I will be able to afford, so that's a bummer.)
