I was meant to blog on Friday, but I didn't. Its much harder to keep track of the days without Alex filling in the gaps.
But anyway, I move on. Yesterday was the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic games! Very exciting stuff it was, with fire and dancing and many, many foreign people. However, rather confusingly, some of the sports had already started earlier in the week. Mainly football, because that takes a while to do the group stages. This morning the first Gold medal was awarded to a Chinese lady (surprise, surprise) called Yi Siling winning the 10m air rifle, with a score of 502.9. Apparently that's quite a good score. I wouldn't know. Also today a Kazakhstan athlete won the men's 250km road race in cycling. He had a long an unspellable name and cried when he won, which was sweet. Annoyingly, Mark Cavendish, a GB athlete, was supposed to win the race, but he got his tactics wrong and finished many seconds behind the Kazakh. This means that Team GB is now behind Kazakhstan in the medal table, and despite it still being early days, I'm slightly ashamed.
