Olympic Touch

Have fun Clarice. Pretty garden photo :o))

Thanks Annella :))

Shame about weather Clarice we saw it in our town last week.

And in Aberdeen my bilaw and his wife got their photo taken with it.

Have a fab time

Love your photo:)

Don't you let a bit of wind and rain spoil your fun Clarice :) The rain has just stopped for a second here in manchester.

You've got a nice view from your kitchen Carol. I hope you get a good view of the torch aswell. Maybe the forecast is wrong and the sun will come out lol no chance .. but enjoy the show tonight even if you're wet.

I do hope the rain stops just for a while for you, Clarice, and that you enjoy the sighting of the torch and the show.

I hope so too Clarice. one of my friends absolutely loves going to Blackpool and she has had nice weather sometimes. So lets hope you do.

The touch?

It does look nice Clarice even in the wet, I hope you get to see the torch without a drenching, enjoythe show as well...

Typo Pixi Torch

have a great time...once in a lifetime...

Enjoy your evening out Carol and watch you dont get swept away on the Front with all the high winds and rain we are having ;0)

Horrendous weather,Carol..hope you don't get too wet..enjoy your show..The torch is in Huddersfield on Sunday..but sadly,I will be sunning myself in Lincolnshire..NOT ! lol

I too wish you a good view of the Olympic flame Clarice. To be honest I am not personally interested in the Olympics at all, although I am of Greek origin. Modern Olympics have nothing to do with the ancient Olympics whatsoever. It is not only about athletics, peace and friendship. It is only a big and expensive show with plenty of political propaganda. Even poor countries want to organize them in order to gain some prestige. Broke Greece organized them a few years ago and spent billions, money they didn't have and had to borrow. Look at the state of their economy now.
Sorry if I spoil your enjoyment Clarice, but this is how I feel about it.
I like your garden.

We're getting the Olympic torch next month - it's coming past the bottom of my road

Enjoy and take your mac and tell us all about it.....

Hope you didn't get too wet watching the torch and enjoyed the show tonight :o)

Hi everyone had a brill time, the touch had to be diverted of the prom for safety as the winds got up to 60mile hour, and it was going right past where we was going to see the show, so we went in an Italian place two doors down, got seats right in the window so we had a lovely meal and watched the touch go right past at the same time then went in the show, then yesterday i watched Friday nights BBC Northwest News on Iplayer and watch the torch again going in the Tower.

Glad you had such a great time, Carol :o)))

Thanks alot it was a brill night, felt sorry for those carrying the touch as they where soaked.

Yes... I heard that the Blackpool Championship Dog Show, scheduled for Friday 22nd, Sat. 23rd and Sun. 24th June, was abandoned after the first day, due to torrential rains, with deep mud everywhere !

On Friday we had one months rain in 24hrs :((

OMG ...
I feel so sorry for the organisers of cancelled events ...

So do i, they did a brilliant job reorganizing the torch route, and John Barrymore was suppose to do a outside concert Saturday on the Prom, but although it was fine yesterday they had it inside the opera house, lookerly we have got big places where they can go indoors.

Blackpool did well to adjust so quickly to provide alternative facilities for the torch and for the concert. :o)

The torch will be coming almost to our door in July! Just a moment's walk down the road there is a gym called "Olympic Gym". Several British athletes train there & the torch is coming up to the gym.

Come on Balcony..Give it a Cheer...I live next door to the National Cycling Velodrome........... Medals for sure!

But I always support the underdogs.

I think it was going down to you Carol from the Lakes, we were there and saw it sailing down Windermere to Bowness, it was rainy and you couldn't see it much as it was sailing down on the right hand side of the lake, everyone was waiting on the left hand side....Lol! Must admit, I'm with Costas on this one, can't understand either, why there had to be so many torches, if they pass the flame on, why not pass the torch on? Anyway, pleased you had a good view and enjoyed your evening...:))

Jane i thought at first they past the touch on aswell, i watch it on tv when they was at the lakes, as for the rain think it followedthe rain to us, after it left the lakes it went to Lancaster and Morcombe the on to us in Blackpool.
