I felt the same way as VegasLady. Was sooooo disappointed with the match between Federer and Murray. I have never seen Federer play so badly and I am a firm supporter of his and felt his behaviour and play over the years makes him a true Olympian! I am not a great supporter of Murray but would have liked him to react with more fervour in singing the National Anthem. Sandra, I think, if I remember correctly, Federer had a day off prior to his match with Murray. I am so pleased I was not at Wimbledon to witness their game. Suffice to say I was not in the best of moods after.
I walked through Hyde Park to watch the events on Tuesday. The police told me there were over 200,000 spectators in the park. Managed to see the cyclists for a couple of minutes (I have pictures but not very good if anyone wants to see them) then decided to walk home and watch on t.v.
Wish I could post a couple of pictures but do not know how!
Re the opening ceremony, I thought the beginning was very slow . I cannot say I enjoyed all of the programme, but there again, each to their own!
Central London has been madness at times. No business but lots of blocked routes and congestion. I have been on the buses and had to abort journeys on several occasions. Shopkeepers have been saying their businesses have been affected and the antique markets have been less crowded. Under the circumstances we need to pick up MORE GOLD! 😛
