	Enjoying it so far. Shame I have to be up at 7.30 tomorrow. BUT .... did I see some upside down small Union Jacks being carried into the stadium? Please tell me I'm wrong! Just watching the "Fashion" section. Maybe The Kinks should have sung "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" As well as Lola. John Lennon --- Wow. Annie Lennox Double Wow. (Voice and costumes) Fun, fun, fun :-D :-D :-D

	From overseas ........ beginning ............... great entry of athletes and flags ....... great Celebration of British Music ...................... boring! Unfortunately, most of the names are not known to us, and probably to most overseas people (we ourselves are of British heritage, and do try to keep up with what's going on over there) ................. and the music all has the same or similar beat. Plus so much is in black and blue ...................... and we have to watch it in full daylight (ie, full sun) I notice that not many of the athletes are dancing in the "mosh pit" ....... and their dancing is usually a sure sign that they are enjoying the music. Sorry, thumbs down on this section for me :-( don't all rush to beat me up! sylvia
