Olympic fever

Friday night was spent at a friends house watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. It was an amazing ceremony. (Let me know if any of you watched it in the UK or were you all working?). It started at 10pm here so there was plenty of time to get into the swing of things... Chinese take-away followed by a host of treats bought from China Town earlier in the day. Cup Cakes with Olympic logo's iced on top to the more bizarre black lotus seed biscuits and of course a few glasses of Australia Wine to wash it all down.

Well the first hour was interesting and quite amazing but the 2 hour procession of the Athletes was pretty boring. I'm not fussed about the sports so can we skip to the closing ceremony now and get back to TV as usual....?
