One day at a time

Misty Morning - 4 Originally uploaded by PD Blog Pics Picture from the venue for the management retreat early on Friday (29 May) morning - shows some of the destruction brought to the area on Black Saturday, but there is also new growth all around too.

Spending the next two days out of the office in the yarra valley. First day has gone well, looking forward to tomorrow's discussions. -- Sent from Gmail for mobile | mobile.google.com

Great show, better hosts & my favourite came second again. Highlight for me was UK finishing in the top five, where we belong. The challenge for Oslo 2010 will be to win the contest. ----------------------------------------- Sent by emoze push mail

I have enjoyed watching the Semi Finals from Moscow on SBS here in Australia. Of course the whole of Europe already knows who the winner is but here in Australia we have to wait another 9 hours to see the final and I have to attempt to avoid all news of the show in that time so I don't spoil the surprise. There are a few stand out performances this year, I was surprised (in a good way) by Armenia and Portugal, but I was already a fan of Iceland, Finland, Greece, Denmark and the UK. I was disappointed that neither Switzerland or the Netherlands got through to the final, but I have learnt a long while ago that my favourites are not always everyone else's. Big thumbs up to Moscow, the stage is amazing, not so sure about the presenters, at least they have been entertaining!
