Keith and I have just been sitting in front of the television totally entranced for the past half hour. The reason? We have been watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Neither of us are great fans of the Games and that is probably as much as we will watch during the coming weeks but we were both amazed by the artistic and technical effects. I have certainly seen nothing like it before. The whole thing was perfectly choreographed, the music was fantastic and the artistic and technical flair behind it, sheer genius. If you missed it, look here and play the video. Give yourself a treat!
Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.

We probably won't see this until tonight here on the west coast. I actually like the gymnastics and some of the swimming and diving competitions. Considering I had friends in Greece about two weeks ago that said, from what they saw at that time, "Greece will never be ready for the Olympics, it's impossible!" I'll be curious to see how they pulled it together. Supposedly 24/7 for two weeks I guess. I usually skip the opening ceremonies but will make a point to catch it with your recommendation. Thanks!
