It has been almost another week between posts. I really am slacking. The week went fine. Olympics kicked off on Friday night. I've tried to watch as much of it as I can this weekend. Great Britain got its first medal last night - a silver in the men's syncronized high board diving. I didn't even know that the sport existed!
Other sporting news is that the Premiership football season started yesterday. Liverpool drew 1-1 away at Tottenham. The biggest news in footie this week though has been the departure of Michael Owen from Liverpool to Real Madrid. There is still a bit of a mystery as to why he decided to go so soon after seemingly saying he was happy to stay at Liverpool. As a Liverpool supporter I am sad to see him go. Until the recent emergence of Steven Gerrard, Owen was Liverpool's one shining light in what have been relatively dark years. I will specifically remember the two goals he scored in less than 10 minutes in the 2001 FA Cup Final to beat Arsenal - the second of which is my favourite sporting moment of all time.
We're having a lazy Sunday afternoon at home today... so I had better get back to it.
