In many dreams, I own a house so large that it warrants exploring. In yesterday's dream, I was exploring what appeared to be a large house, with the help of a nice surveyor/inspector. One of the upper rooms that we discovered turned out not to exist at all. The surveyor didn't realize that they had the psychic ability to temporarily add further rooms to houses, lending them fictional extensions, and indeed they typically did so during their surveys. Perhaps they had made an unfortunate choice of career.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned how this year's Eurovision Song Contest followed the usual pattern of my concurring with the public televote rather than the verdict of the panels of industry professionals. Yesterday I reflected on how last year's contest was an exception to the pattern.

The United Kingdom's song scored unusually well last year yet I thought it one of our more mediocre entries. France's and Germany's scored the worst, yet I thought both to be quite decent songs. Perhaps neither song was positively a gem but nor did they seem superlatively bad* against the other finalists.

*superlatively bad tempts me to imagine words like sublative
