Did you watch the Olympic opening last night?
Sport is not my ‘thing’, and of course in our British way, we have all been a bit cynical about it all. However I thought the opening was wonderful!
How brilliant to showcase the NHS? Come to think of it, virtually my entire family owe our lives to them. They deserve a bit of recognition.
Maybe as a country we are not so bad. It was certainly a night to be proud of.

I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet (don’t have a TV) I looked for it on Youtube but only found conspiracy theories on it, interesting watch.
Like you I don’t really watch sport but the opening would have been great.
