The One with the countdown

One hundred days from today I will be glued to my televison watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. Yes I am a total nerd, freak or whatever you would like to call me when it comes to the Olympics.

This means I have 100 days to get a new PVR as mine keeps crashing and I will have a meltdown if some of the events I record are lost.

The last Olympics my PVR was at 90% full for weeks. I record and watch with great enthusiasm every swimming event, all the gymnastics and padlling events and most of the running.

This event is a highlight of my life every four years. I vaguely watch the Rugby World Cup, notice the scores for the Cricket World Cup and run in the opposite direction of any mention of the word soccer.

So I am allowed one sporting love and for me this is it.

Today is another sort of countdown for me.

Ten days till we go on a 24 day round South Africa roadtrip. I am so excited about our trip.

I love going overseas but I think its time for a trip around this country. It will be nice not having to face airports and 13 hour flights.

In other news I got a part time job as a writer for a US based company. They pay every month which will make a nice change from my current job.  I will stay with my current job as a GIS consultant as its always nice to have cash to fund holidays.

Yes I live for travel:)

So the London Olympic mascot is it the wierdest one yet? Well it has my vote!

Introducing Wenlock



In better news from the Olympics James Bond will be making an appearance at the Opening Ceremony in real life and a short video clip which will include him going to the Queen to get his latest assignment. Yes it really will be Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth not Helen Mirren.


Should be interesting.
