Life in a Northern Town

By kagsy

Slower, lazier, fatter……

That will be me after spending two weeks sitting in my chair watching The Olympics.

Today I was a bit meh about the surfing - was that it? Couldn’t help but cheer a little at the horse getting peed off with its rider in the jumping and dumping him on the ground (thankfully he wasn’t injured). Gobsmacked at the diving - how on earth do they do that? Had absolutely no clue about the skateboarding but what a thing to watch - and they’re so young. But the best was the sports climbing - I’ve never seen anything like it - just extraordinary. Today the women were bouldering - which means they were hanging off walls with their limbs in positions that shouldn’t be possible; the men were speed climbing - which means they were climbing 15 metres (with an overhang) in less than 5 seconds. I missed the rope climbing - I need to find that on the Iplayer.

And all the while I was sat on my derrière eating biscuits.
