{100 DAYS TO THE OLYMPICS}

So today they announced that there was only one hundred days until the grand Olympics arrive in London town and frankly, I am down right excited. Fortunately, I was one of the lucky ones to receive a ticket to the event, winning tickets to Men’s Semi Final Diving which I can’t wait for. I used to dive a fair amount when I was younger so it’ll be amazing to see the pros at work and fingers crossed see the cutie that is Tom Daley. It will be incredible to see the Olympic village too, and see all the hard work they’ve been putting in for the Olympics. I know some people are pretty negative about the Olympics, and a recent study on the radio said the further away from London people are, the less excited they are about it, but I think its a real privilege. I feel over the past couple of years, I’ve really become proud to be british, and I think a whole part of this is how we club together and act as a real community when events come around the corner, be it Royal Weddings, Jubilees or the Olympics. It makes people get together in celebration of being British, celebrating all that is great about our powerful little country and all that it has to offer. People can moan this and that about Britain, but at the end of the day I wouldn’t have it any other way. Fair enough, rain, drizzle and cold do dominate the British weather scene quite a bit but really, I quite like it. Of course I love the sun, but I think if it was as boiling hot as on holiday, we’d still be complaining all the time! It’s an infamous British trait and always will be. So all in all, I am thrilled the Olympics is heading our way so soon and I am more than ready to get in the spirit of it all and celebrate our country, the beautiful and brilliant old Blighty.
