I've not read much in the papers this week,Ann, haven't had time, but what I've read in the London evening paper on the way home, has only been good :-D

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

Yes, Lynda......I LOVE the Olympics!!

Before the opening ceremony, I wasn't that bothered about it.

But when it started, the magic worked.

In a way, it has been a very pleasant distraction for me and several other people I know personally.

It has given us a 'lift and a bit of a boost, so to speak, when we needed it.

In our house, we have put flags outside on the windows.


Take gentle care all
Very best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

Hello Elizabeth :-D

I am so pleased it has given you a distraction if you needed one, and glad you and your friends are enjoying it.

You're not alone, I too have flags outside, and have just got a large new one to put up :-D

I hear the closing ceremony will be wonderful, but I really don't want the Olympics to end :-(

I've been enjoying some of it , not very keen on team sports, (and was always useless myself) but I do like watching the gymnastics, swimming/diving and athletics. Great to see so many individuals who have trained so hard winning medals, and the background stories for some of them are great.

I think though it may have affected businesses in London this summer, tourists who cam for the games will come back again to visit the London they didn't see, they will have found it is friendly and safe here. If you've enjoyed the whole experience of going to a country and been made welcome there is much more incentive to return I think .
