Very English. The phrase that comes to mind when I think of the Olympic games opening ceremony. A perfect depiction of English history, and although somber in parts, it was basically exactly what I expected. Not the glitz and glamor other countries have put on in the past, but in saying that, when I think of England (not having been there admittedly) I think of old things, tradition, bricks, Mr Bean ...
Oh yes, thank goodness for Rowan Atkinson's parents I say. What a comedic genius, and if I may, the highlight of the whole ceremony. And how lucky is old Queenie having the luxury of working along side Daniel Craig **blush**. I wonder who would have been more star struck there, her majesty or his bondness? Equal amounts of respect I am sure.
I'm so glad to have some sport to watch other than the usual rugby, netball and motor racing. Over the weekend I've enjoyed taking in some rowing, gymnastics & swimming. Thank goodness the swimmers have snapped out of their coverall stage with their swimming togs, not sure about the men with shaved armpits though - what is that all about? They look all buff and manly, then they lift their arms up to wave and it doesn't look quite right to me!
I look forward to the next couple of weeks, and what will hopefully be some nail biting finals. Our athletes are small fish in a big pond, but there are certainly some shining stars amongst them.
Go JO!
