For want of anything else to do while I recuperate on the couch, this morning I am watching the men's volleyball. USA vs Germany. Volleyball, definitely not something I've ever been interested in, but I must say I am surprised at how entertaining it is. These men are extremely skilled, and I've found it a pleasure to watch how they use their skills to win the points.

So sometimes we need to give something we have otherwise thought not to our liking, a try, we may be surprised.

What have you been watching?

I watched the Women's road cycling - what a finish.  Not that I'm biased or anything because a British girl won !!

The opening ceremony was something too.  Something for London to live up to in 2012
