So it's time to move on and there will be no dance to your daddy! No little fishy on my little dishy anymore. Well, at least for a little while anyway. So, back to some more serious things as move into the week of the Olympics and the whole of the UK goes on strike. I've come back to the fantastic weather of California, but what will the weather be like for the Olympic games?

Analysis:
Well, it does indeed look like we'll have some days where the weather is good and others where it's not. The good news is that the weather held for the opening ceremony. Would have been a bit worried about the Queen if the weather had been bad as don't know how she'd have parachuted in. We wouldn't have wanted her to get blown into the Thames or something would we now.
Regarding the opening ceremony itself, I really did enjoy it. I thought it was a great production and that all of you enjoyed it too. There is, however, one thing that keeps nagging at me and it's the bit about the boy meets girl. So, if I understood it correctly, boy and girl see each other on the tube (London Underground). Girl gets taken off the train and they lose each other. Boy then finds that girl has left her mobile phone on the train. He gets her phone and then calls her to meet up .... Well, if she left her phone on the train, what on earth did she answer his call with? It did seem that she had some kind of magical implant as she seemed to be talking to her hand as opposed to on the phone given that he had her phone. Had she wanted him to call her, she just had to beam her number to him anyway. No need to bugger around with leaving your phone on the train for him to find. I'm sure I'm missing something and it wouldn't be the first time. That said, I really did enjoy it. It's pretty amazing that I managed to watch the whole thing in the first place, let alone enjoy it, so we'll stick to the positive thoughts.
