I'll be honest, it's the first time I've watched Eurovision from start to finish, and that because I had friends watching it. I'm glad this was my first though. :)

The Semi-Mythical Maelgwn Gwynedd Pt 4
I think I've ended every single Maelgwn article so far with the next one will be the final installment. Then I find more and more stories about him. That's the upside of bringing so many bards into your court, they all write songs name-checking ...

Sandman: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaiman
