Congratulations, China!
It is nearly 2 am here in Melbourne. Ken and I both have head colds, with noses and eyes streaming, but we didn't want to miss a minute of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. It was worth every minute and every tissue! Absolutely sensational, every part of it. And didn't our Aussies look smart in those blue shirts!
Well done, Beijing!!

Yes, it was amazing, wasn't it? I was just slightly worried that it was a tiny bit regimented... and hugely expensive. But yes, astonishingly wonderful.
I do hope London is just going to have a few balloons and flags. We can't compete with China's display and I'm worried about my taxes!
Hope the colds are improving.
A few balloons and flags...LOL Isabelle!! I have never been there as you know, but from what I've heard from my friends who have, London is such a special place just as it is, it won't need bells and whistles to be a great host city for the Olympic games.
Thanks for your good wishes about our colds. We're still both sneezing and re-infecting each other...ah well, it's winter in Australia!
Gina,
I only got to see the highlights on the news. sorry I missed it. I hope you both feel better soon. :) take Care.
Hi Gina, Like you I stayed up didnt want to miss a minute,just loved every second of it was done with so much precision... and Didnt our Athletes look smart in blue..
Oh, it was amazing! My husband said he felt sorry for the next country to host because they surely would not be able to come close to China's opening. Your Aussie team always looks so smart and proud.
I hope you get some rest and feel better soon. By the way, can you really drive that huge motorcycle all by yourself? While I've ridden on the back of one, I don't think I could handle actually driving!
Oh Gina.. I am so sorry to hear about Elsie. How heavy your heart must be.
I hope you feel better very soon.. I have pneumonia and it looks like it's got a grip on me... so I can understand how you must be feeling.
I must admit that I have been disappointed with the lack of Australian Olympians gracing my television set. I am getting a bit sick and tired of all the repeats and seeing mostly Chinese athletes. Don't get me wrong.. I wish them all luck.. but I would like to see some more green and gold.
Give my regards to Ken.

Thank you to all who have left comments to say 'get better soon' from our colds. I'm responding to most of you by visiting your blogs, but if I've missed you this time - thanks again for your kind thoughts.
