Olympics are a comin’
"Blogging Circle of Friends "
DAY 3532 June 22, 2024
Have fun with these words: athletes, yellow, smart, ginger, spinach, work, schedule, and dynasty.

When I saw the word athletes, it reminded me that we’ll be hearing it often over the coming weeks. Yes, the Olympics are here again. We’ll witness the best of the best in all sporting endeavours. Our Australian team will be looking smart in their yellow and green uniforms. Or as we call it, sporting the green and gold. I hope they’ve eaten all their spinach which is after all supposed to give them strength like Popeye the sailor man.
We’re hoping our swimming team excel as that’s the sport we do the best in. After all their gruelling schedule and dedication to their sport some miss out by just a fraction of a second for the chance to represent their country. Often those athletes who have been excelling in their field of endeavour come from families who have been involved throughout their lives and have almost formed a dynasty of athletes.

Anyhow I’ll be glued to the television drinking my favourite lemon and ginger tea, urging the Australian athletes on to victory. I realise of course each person from the country represented in the Olympics in Paris will be doing exactly the same. Although the Parisians will be drinking Champagne. The Americans? Well probably Coca Cola or a beer. I might be the odd one out sipping my ginger tea. The rest will be sculling a few tinnies of Lager and sharing a platter of shrimps from the barbie.

Let’s all simply enjoy the spectacular of the Olympics from our armchairs.
