Olympics Athletics...

An amazing day at the Olympic Stadium yesterday with Myrtle. She loved every minute of being there and I loved every minute of being with her. We got to watch the Decathlon (both discus and pole vault) as well as the 4x400m relay heats. Back in 1948 in White City she said the seats were a lot harded than at the 2012 Olympics but the queues for the beer just as long. Seeing as she was only 11 years old back then I doubt she was drinking beer though!

Shortly after we'd taken our seats in the stadium Myrtle put her hand my knee to steady herself. I said, "are you OK, old girl?" and she was crying, "I just so happy to be here". "Oh you silly idiot!" I said smiling at her. A moment I'll never forget.

Olympics Orbit...

On Sunday we also went up Anish Kapoor's red twisty steel masterpiece the Orbit next to the Olympic Stadium. Great view and lots of fun.

Here are just a few memories of our night at the Olympic Stadium, It was simply the best thing I have ever seen. It was bonkers, funny and spectacular - like Play School on acid! Everyone on the stadium was in such good spirits knowing that the eyes of the world were on them.
