The Olympics are well into the last week now and so far have been a great event I think. There have been some ridiculous decisions by referees and judges (upholding appeals by athletes who had been disqualified) but apart from that the competition has been great. Highlight for me so far has been the Mens Coxless Fours Rowing with GB getting the gold by 0.08 seconds ahead of Canada. I also really enjoyed the swimming and have been able to see a bit of the sailing too, which has been another great sport for the Brits.
Liverpool got a nice win on Saturday, 2-1 over Manchester City. Steven Gerrard is once again showing that he is the best midfielder in the country and that Liverpool would probably really struggle without him. On Saturday he set up the first goal and scored the winner.
For Marla and I it is the quiet before the storm, so to speak. With us going to the USA next Thursday we have been staying at home trying to save our money. Soon our thoughts will turn to packing and making sure the cat and house are cared for when we are away. At the moment it looks like Griff will house-sit for us, which is very nice of him.
Yesterday afternoon we had a very nice few hours in Alice Park with a bit of a picnic and a quick game of Boules. Marla went out with her work colleagues for a Hen Night (bachelorette party) on Friday night and seemed to have a good time. And on Saturday night we gathered at Andy & Fi's house for a poker/Olympics night. Marla was the big winner in the poker. Other than that we have been staying in, watching the Olympics and working. That's all for now.
