I'm a horrible, horrible person

SOOOO hi,

Let's get this out the way, I'm horrible. I started out two months ago trying to get everyone to get onto the blog again and then I bolted.
Apologies for doing so, but it has been hectic busy round here.

I had an entire post half written about the opening ceremonies, however I've scrapped that.
Instead I'm keeping it short and sweet.

For as long as I remember the Olympics has been a big part of my life; granted I've only ever fully watched four Olympiads from start to finish that I can remember. Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
My earliest memory of the Olympics (and my favourite) is of the Sydney 2000 games. It was hot. Stupidly hot, I'm pretty sure it was a heatwave. My Mum and I sat in the living room on the floor with lots of fans on and the curtains drawn. On the t.v the closing ceremonies was on. A single man, I can't for the life of me remember who he was, sat and sung 'kookaburra sits in the old gum tree' with his guitar. It was a mesmerising moment, he was alone in the centre of the stage, the entire place was dark and there was a single tree just next to him.

From the London games, I really hope the slogan follows through. 'Inspire a Generation'. I'm a big believer in the power and help of sports and hopefully the aftermath of the games brings about a change in the ways sports in held in schools in this area.

Hope you are all having a good time, and hopefully you'll be hearing from me on a more regular basis.

DTFBA
