Thank you all :) I will take some pics . Daughter wasn't too pleased that her photos of the football yesterday weren't up to standard as she borrowed my camera and it was on the foliage setting ::)
Knitted more teddy cases today as I'd like to give the Brownies as many golds as we win, tough work trying to keep up with Team GB and NI though!

Davey we got both the UK commentary and the Canadaian one, it was interesting to see the difference.
Pumkinlover, I was not offended you sillyone I was teasing you :D
I am now looking forward to the closing ceremonies.

Can anyone tell me why the paralympics aren't within the olympics, I'm a bit confused, I would've thought the closing ceremony should be after them, too ???

I think they have their own opening ceremony.
Perhaps for those of us with adled brains we will be able to understand what it going on better.

Enjoyed most of it. Thought George Michael was great.I used to love the Ray Davis but I think he along with Paul Mcartney should go quietly.The Who were as good as ever.
Haven't been to bed that late for ages ;D

I loved it but like Shirl I think it's time for some artists to put their slippers on and take a break! I think Ray Davies uses the same hair dye as Paul Mac. I didn't think much of the spice girls either. George Micheal was excellent and loved Elbow.
A great games!!

Eric Idle stole the show ;D The Who were great....unfortunately a lot of the younger acts were flat...Gary Barlow did well and found his bit very poignant.

Sorry, it was a big let down for me, the best bit was just before they turned off the flame , that was exceptionally good. The rest came over as very poor miming in most cases, a lot of folks just walking oddly and a lot of pauses where we kept saying,," do something"

An amazing time, so much to watch and listen to. We were near the flame but I don't think the news coverage picked up the huge and sad "oh" from the spectators as the last little flame died.
The late ending meant we had missed our train home, despite every effort on our part to get to a terminus that was open, so our daughter picked us up just before 4am and we arrived home at 5am. Didn't bother going to bed and watched the sunrise, a perfect start to our anniversary. Apart from the tickets, the children cooked us supper. They also bought us a little bottle of coral pink champagne, a coral rose to plant in the garden and a betting slip from......Corals. They spent £2 on a £1 ew double on Font of Knowledge for their Pa and Linda's Icon for Ma. All foreign language to us but it appears one came in 1st and the other 3rd, so perhaps we've won a little something. ;D
The garden had greeted us too, a begonia, a hollyhock, lots of fuchsia and a fading Queen Elizabeth rose all in a beautiful coral colours.
Just a perfect day.............
