I have been watching the Triathlon and Swimming this morning ... with it on MUTE, I am not blind and can see what is going on without dumb comments from the talking heads. :mrgreen:

A lot of people standing around, watching the triathletes ... I thought I saw a bloke with a scruffy white beard wandering around ... couldn't be Santa, could it? A bit early for him. :c

I hope the opening ceremony got better after I turned it off. At the point I got sick of it I was thinking that all they were trying to relay is that Australia is all Aboriginal and nothing else.

It just wasn't balanced and it was acutely boring.

Sally Pearson has quit the Games.

Good call Sally.

My daughter has "archilles tendonitis" ... she definitely can NOT run anywhere. She can barely walk. Plus it is very painful and she is not a whinger.
