Practice makes perfect
Living in London, you can’t really avoid the Olympics. There’s still a year to go until the main event but that hasn’t stopped the city and all its residents becoming obsessed with the Games. I don’t want to sound like a sore loser, seeing as London beat my home town of New York to the honour, but I do worry that they’re going to tire themselves out before the actual Olympics get started! There doesn’t seem to a be a week that goes by without the launch of some new sporting or cultural event themed around 2012.
At the moment the organisers are “testing” a lot of the venues by holding practice events, such as basketball, badminton, cycling and beach volleyball which is only serving to remind us locals how much our daily lives are going to be disrupted when the real thing comes around though I may have wandered past Horse Guards Parade where the beach volleyball practice competition was being held. Only in the interests of making sure London was thoroughly prepared, obviously, and not to check out the Brazilian girls in their volleyball outfits…
The cycling event went right past where I live at the moment, so I decided that it would be a good day to get out of the city and visit a friend of mine from New York who have settled in the north of England. Well, it would have been a great visit if their cottage hadn’t needed stocking up on the bare necessities, leading to us driving round and round looking for any red diesel Stoke could offer us! I think staying at home with the curtains shut while cyclists whizzed by my front window would actually have been more fun.
