I'm not planning to watch the torch, although I believe it is passing through my nearest town tomorrow (quite a feat, being as I live in rural west Wales). I am however going to the Olympics: rowing, volleyball, basketball and hockey.<br />As you may have guessed, I like sport, although I originally applied for tickets because my 75-year-old mother-in-law asked me to help her with the procedure. Now the tickets will be delivered any day and I'm really excited.Scribble Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698526284155552601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4752133508404720649.post-65157781850642486812012-05-25T01:59:45.332-07:002012-05-25T01:59:45.332-07:00Oh dear!

I sat in the boiling-hot car in a closed road because I was hoping it wouldn't be long before they reopened it. And half-an-hour later I was still there, waiting! But I had a book with me and had a lovely time reading and thinking and writing in my head. I also enjoyed watching all the excited children and happy, hot people walking back from all I'd missed!<br /><br />I love the bull.
