It's time for the Olympic Games for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

... and so each day I'll be bringing you all the action. Today is the opening ceremony. There is plenty of entertainment. Here is the King's Drum and Bugle Band, led by Drum Major Jermaine Jacobs.

Clyde's going to miss out on everything now unless someone can bail him out.

Those windsurfers are so cute - is there anything Playmobil don't make??

Fabulous! Loving these games!

And I'm pleased to see that Joan looks happy and relaxed, considering the earlier shinanigans with her handbag! 👜

This knocks the BBC's coverage into a cocked hat. Brava!

I didn’t watch the real thing but this is awesomeness in Playmobil form

Please can I watch ?? This is lovely!!

@NooNakedJacuzziness yes, there are quite a few things that Playmobil don't make. Like an actual tennis court, a table tennis table, an Olympic stadium...

@noreasonbehindit of course you can watch! The PlaymOlympics are open to everyone.

Naughty Clyde Crumblehead - thank goodness he was apprehended speedily.
Loving today’s water sports!

Just want to say thanks for taking the time to do these threads OP. I always really enjoy them. 😊

Phew, I feel better for that wonderful breath of ozone laden sea air. Such exciting sports today. Time for a little lunch before the afternoon events I think. Thankyou @SoMuchToBits .

And a timely reminder to all us spectators to be careful about our possessions when in large crowds! There are always chancers around.

What a great day in Playmoland. Perfect seaside sports and a bit of swift justice. Hurrah!

Thank you for the lovely comments! People are gathering on the beach to watch the surfing.

Here are the male competitors. Glen, Brychan, Chester, Jonty, Rex and Arfon.

And here are the female competitors. Alaw, Margaret, Jaime, Fiona, Rhianedd and Amber.

First up in the men's event is Arfon.

It's Chester's turn next.

Now it's Glen's turn.

He is very stylish!

I love a bit of surfing. And your sea is amazing- is it fabric or painted?

Brychan is next.

Jonty is really going for it!

@FuzzyPuffling the sea is made of fabric. It's new this year. I used to use ds's blue fleece camping blanket, but he's using it on his boat, so I had to get a new sea!

Just look at the height he's achieving!

What a great performance!

And a very confident finish!

The next competitor is Rex. He's getting some good height too!
