... and so I'll be bringing you a few scenes every day.

Today is the opening ceremony. Skater Andrei arrives in the stadium with the Olympic torch.

I love this!

@SoMuchToBits

Thank you all! Hopefully the Playmobil people will keep you entertained for the next couple of weeks or so!

They are bound to be more interesting than the actual Olympics.
I can't get excited by people using different methods to get to the bottom of a hill covered in man made snow as quickly as possible.

Well, I don't know, maybe she kept the lead in a nail-biting finish... Grin

Great to see you and the Playmo people SoMuch!

It’s lovely to see such a big crowd at the Olympics sitting together.

Fantastic! The DC are very impressed.

Thank you all! In the front row, next to King Athelstan and Queen Edith, you might be able to spot Alwyn, Angharad, Aled and Anwen (the family with the sausage snaffling dog Apollo)!

But no Apollo? Are dogs not allowed into the Olympic events?

I think they got a dog sitter while they were at the PlaymOlympics... Grin

This is the sort of thread I think everybody needs after a shit couple of years, thanks for doing this @SoMuchToBits, it is much appreciated.

petalpower · 05/02/2022 21:16

They do look like responsible and caring pet owners so I’m sure Apollo was just fine!
