Reflections on yesterdays list

The Olympics kicks off in a matter of hours. Well, officially it kicks off in a matter of hours, in reality the football tournament has been going on all week. So why are we having an ‘Opening Ceremony’ for something that has already started? That’s like having a ceremony to celebrate opening a packet of corn flakes when you’ve already eaten three bowls of the stuff.
Anyway - looking back at my list - my top 3 sports to watch in the next fortnight were Archery, Shooting and Fencing. So maybe instead of watching the Olympics I should be going to a Medieval Jousting Festival.

(Expect more Olympic references over the next few days, by the way. Everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn‘t I leap upon the bandwagon too?)
