I have a medal winning hangover this morning after last nights frivolities. I watched the beginning of the opening ceremony and was quite impressed by it. Then again, I have a particular love of classical Hellenic art and sculpture and I loved the history of Greece parade with all the particpants dressed and painted in the style of the contemporary art of the period they were portraying.
The toga party was a scream with much drinking and many impromptu games suggested and played (mostly in the format of down a drink, run/roll/cartwheel to the end of the garden and back, down another drink). When it came to marathon sambuca drinking and lighting of the toga party sambuca torch, it appeared that I was on my own owing to no-one else liking sambuca at all. Life can be hard sometimes.
Today is rapidly turning into a non-event. I forgot to watch Trans World Sport but did watch some of the badminton and beach volleyball which was, er, nice.
What are you doing today?
