Olympics
Friday, July 27, 2012 @ 7:28 PM

Well, the Olympic ceremony tonight is compulsive viewing for me. Please God that there are no more cock ups, aka Korean flag etc. I daresay I'll be glad, like the rest of us Brits, when it's all over. So many people have put so much effort into it that they deserve it to be a roaring success.

On Chapter 14 now of the first book of the trilogy, "The Saturday Pledge". Researching a 1974 scene and surprised that Dr Beeching's axe fell on Accrington train station. Had to rewrite a large part of the chapter! I shall never vote Tory again!.

Looking at some works of art on line with my grandson, we came acrossThe Venus de Milo. I told him that's what happens if you continuously bite your nails.

So it's summer in the UK. I missed it last year, I was brushing my teeth.

I was reading a book on great inventions last night, got to the chapter on Super Glue.......couldn't put it down.

Thought I'd watch the opening Ceremony thinking it would be a big yawn wondering how long I would last, 10 minutes, 20? before I switched over. But this has to be one of the best things on the box EVER.
Seriousness, humour, (Rowan Atkinson!) splendour, marketting of Great Britain..... it was amazing. Brilliant well done.
My daughter went to the full dress practice earlier this week & warned me it was unbelievable.
Can't believe the Queen parachuted in !!!!!!!!
