I don't know the first thing about water-polo (despite my brother having played for almost 20 years), but it was fun all the same. Hurrah!
I'd thought about taking a flag to wave... but since the only flag I own is that of the erstwhile USSR, I thought better of it. Didn't want to get thrown out, after all.
And watching Mo Farah on a big screen at Greenwhich Old Naval College the night before is something I'll remember for a long, long time.
I'm still on an Olympic high. Woot!

So many of my friends, real cynics about it, got quite carried away by it all.
I'm off to the Paralympics soon, can't wait, it's amazing, cheesy to say but everyone is a winner in them considering what they've overcome to get there, you should get tickets, everyone should.

Really wish I'd made the effort to go to the games now. I'll just have to get along to them next year I guess.

Kind of a shame that they'll be up against *yawn* soccerball for attention.
But there's apparently a documentary about their origins on telly this evening: I might have to make a point of watching it.

There was some real emotion shown in the Olympics, hardly surprising if you train for so many years and maybe have only seconds to prove yourself, they don't get to play a couple of times a week like footballers do, a bad day for some of those athletes in the Olympics means having to train for another four years to prove themselves in Rio.
