After virtually 24-hour coverage of The Games on the BBC it is quite a let down not to be able to watch some Olympic action today. I thought overall the games were very good. There were some excellent events and some great results for British athletes. In terms of total medals, it was a better games than Sydney 2000 for GBR. I thought there was some terrible officiating and then of course the ridiculous moment in the marathon when the leader was forced off the road by that maniac Irish priest (the same guy than ran on to the track at the 2003 British GP). I was also very annoyed that many of the events were so poorly attended by the Greek public. You'd think that they'd appreciate having the games a little more than they appeared to. Anyway, The Games are over now, back to normal life.
Actually, back to normal life for three days because on Thursday we are off to Arizona. I must start packing today. It's a bank holiday today so I have the day off and therefore a bit of time to do it.
We did go to see The Bourne Supremacy on Wednesday. Quite an action-packed and entertaining thriller I thought. A good compliment to The Bourne Identity. This second film has a different focus to the first - less of him exploring his past and more about him being hunted but also doing some hunting of his own. Overall, I thought it was good.
