The Olympic Opening Ceremony

We were very excited about the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

The girls and I set the alarm to get up at 5.30am to watch it. It was very cold and dark when we crept downstairs. We put the heater on high, grabbed a bunch of blankets and fought over the dog because we all wanted the extra warmth that comes from the fur ball.

It was very exciting.

And then it wasn't.

Some observations,

1. The Queen would look better if she smiled more
2. My husband does look like Daniel Craig and I wish he would wear a tuxedo more often
3. A lot of the dancing seemed to be in the dark. Bruce Springsteen would have loved it.
4. I think the whole love story, texting thing was silly. This is the Olympics not high school
5. Where was Lily Allen? She should have sung "Smile" to the Queen
6. More importantly, where were Nanny McPhee and Basil Fawlty?
7. Three Cups of coffee didn't make it better
8. David Beckham is very good at pretending to drive a boat
9. I like drums
10. Athletes shouldn't chew gum when walking into the stadium
11. It would have been better in double time.

I kinda wish I had stayed in bed and just read about it on twitter because everything is more interesting on twitter.
