Yes, we had a great time! It was such a happy two weeks, not sure it was quite worth £9billion but oh well - it's spent now and we all had fun (well, this family did anyway!).
One afternoon, whilst watching the diving, Isobel appeared. She watched, quietly in the background as they dived off those 10m boards. 'Can you do that mummy?'. Ha ha, how I wished I could but I think my fear of heights will stop me. The next day she was practicing at the side of the baby pool.....now then, diving off 10m boards, not something I imagine I would be very good at watching her do if she did decide she wanted to give it a go!
I'm just posting a few pictures of the Olympic park as it looked so lovely. Aren't these flowers great?
So, I've had a blood test for my thyroid. Now they say it's fine but I might be anaemic! So another blood test is needed. A friend who has an underactive thyroid said that there are links between all these things from the research she has done. Let's see what happens! Interestingly, there are also reports about the happy pills I took (Sertraline) and thyroid problems, although it doesn't appear to be statistically significant research in terms of a strong relationship! Still, it might explain it.
One of the highlights of the olympics was us watching Usain Bolt in the 200m semi finals. My goodness that man can run. I laughed though. Mo Farrah runs a 5 km in what, 12 mins? And looks like he's barely exerted himself. I run 5km in about 30 mins and look like a beetroot! Don't think I have those Olympic genes somehow!!!
Next week we plan to get back to some Jamie Oliver cooking as he's taken a backseat for a while. However, there are two other contenders for our cooking attention - the Great British Bake Off is back! Hoorah. And they made bagels last night - which has inspired me again! The other contender is a 50s buffet party after I found a 1950s cookbook of my granny's in my mum and dad's loft. Some tuna vol-o-vont, shrimp boats and babycham! Bring it on
