Olympics Opening Ceremony

After three hours I'd say the Olympics Opening Ceremony has gone very well. Some interesting tableaux, music and dance. Interesting way if taking everyone through British history.

The athletes are all in the stadium now and the Arctic Monkeys are singing: not particularly my cup of tea I have to say.

We are promised more interesting spectacles to come.

One fabulous thing they've done us to build dot matrix lights in to the seats and that 's very effective.

Am ... aaaaa ... zing!

I am watching BBC One TV in the build up to the Olympic Games opening ceremony. I am sitting here wondering how many times we'll hear the word amazing over the next 17 days.

I know, grumpy old chap!

The Red Arrows have just flown over the Olympic Stadium ... lovely sight, that. I remember driving around Oxfordshire a few years ago and I could see a chevron formation in the sky ahead of me. As I got nearer to the chevron I realised it was the Red Arrows, in perfect formation.

Ding Dong the Olympic Gong!

I am looking forward to the Olympic Games now. Let's hope that nothing serious goes wrong and that the true spirit of the Olympic tradition shines through for everyone.

Lawn Done: let's grow some rice!!

We've had three dry weather days and my back garden was dry enough for me to mow my lawn this afternoon and rain is forecast overnight. So, I mowed the lawn!

The part of the lawn that gets very little or no sun is still very wet. So wet that I'm thinking of growing rice there!!

I feel better now!

Very Disappointing Find :(

When I left Georgia in 2001, my colleagues bought me a really nice ceramic keepsake: look at the photo below.

A few weeks ago I noticed that there was a chip out of the hat: I know that this wasn't here when I moved into this house two years ago. Yesterday I really was very disappointed to see that a large part of the left ear was missing too. Again I know that this is something new. I didn't do it!

Really disappointing :(
