Heheh, Richard! :) Speaking of the Olympics....

I watched through practically the whole Olympics opening ceremony.... I thought some parts of it were quite unusual....

Synchronized lawn mowing, the excitement of the Aussie tin-roofed shed, and an underwater extravaganza that looked like it came from a psychedelic acid trip from the 60s! ;)

Well, if nothing else, I had to say it was uniquely Australian! Actually, this is part of the reason I enjoy living here.... it can be a very laid-back but also unusual and interesting place.... :)

In Sydney I actually live very close to the main Olympics venue, but I'm currently visiting Melbourne for a few days (visiting my Mom again)....

All of Australia, though, is in the grip of Olympic fever!

Cheers :)
