Time

I was hoping the time would stamp itself...but I have to put my own time on. I bet there's an easy way to do it since most other word processors can add the time. We are back to rain. Athens is coming to an end and so it the lovely warm weather it brought. I have loved seeing the highs and the emotion of those who have worked so long and hard to achieve their gold. We have had the best medal tally ever. It annoys me our PM has chosen to use today to announce the election date so the athletes will get lost in the election twaddle instead of a heroes welcome home. It's been great to watch us do so well, but it has also been great to watch people from other nations achieve something for themselves and their countries. This sounds a bit trite. I don't mean it to be. It is clear that the two medals for the runner from Morocco mean so much to him and the Ethiopian runners speak of doing well so they can inspire the next generation. I have enjoyed these Olympics. I am baffled as to the rules of greco roman wrestling and am equally non-plussed by synchronised swimming where all you see are wiggling feet. I accept it requires skill and strength ; that it is an athletic talent.
