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

[SoMuchToBits]

The original thread is here It's time for the Olympic Games for the Playmobil people in our house... | Mumsnet but there isn't enough room for the closing ceremony on it, so I have started a new one. Hope to see you all here!

Thank you all - I'm afraid I didn't get round to watching much of the real thing!

I hope someone noticed though that we had a purple running track (like the Paris one) and the tennis was on clay courts (like Paris)!

Fabulous closing ceremony and so emotional. I might have cried a tear into my thermos at the ballet dancing in particular. So graceful!

Was also thrilled to see Octopus on stage. I'm a huge Ace fan!

Looking forward to the playmoparalympics!

Thank you so much @SoMuchToBits.

Thank you! I'm an Ace fan too (reminds me of ds who plays drums). Two of the ballerinas were special purchases for the closing ceremony!

Thank you SoMuch - it’s been fabulous.

The ballet dancers were exquisite and what can I say about Gary Danilow? Such versatility and style.Will he ever close the piano lid on his career? You've catered for everyone there and raised the roof!

Thank you @SoMuchToBits for the daily entertainment. PlaymOlympics quickly became part of my morning routine (wordle, le mot, PlaymOlympics). In awe of your creative sets and looking forward to the paras.

Ah, thank you everyone! I'll look forward to seeing you later in August for the PlaymoParalympics.

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted comments or thanked me. It means so much to me!

Thank you @SoMuchToBits . Your imagination way outstrips those who plan the human version and these threads so much more entertaining! Looking forward to the next instalment in a few weeks' time.

Thank you! It seems strange coming downstairs this morning and not going to post a load of photos! But I'll be back later in the month.

Thank you so much for the hard work you have put into entertaining total strangers @SoMuchToBits🏅 , you deserve your own medal, and possibly a trip to the Palace for services above and beyond.

Many thanks too to the other audience members who have followed the events with such glee, all round to mine for a glass of blue wine later.

The closing ceremony was amazing, again exceeding that Alternative Olympics that has been on view. I mean, Norman or Tom Cruise ! There’s no competition there at all.

See you all in LA in four years time, though I suspect @SoMuchToBits 🏅and her cast of thousands will be back long before them.

Just remembered there is a PlaymoParalympics on the cards! yippee, sooner than I thought.

A great closing ceremony - just watching highlights of the Paris ceremony which is second-rate by comparison!

Lovely to Gary Danilow making an appearance and all the other bands and performers.

Looking forward to the Paramo-lympics to round off the Summer

Thank you @SoMuchToBits and regards to Norman especially.

Aww, thank you all! I'll pass your comments on to Norman!

Brilliant thread, thank you 🤩

Having watched the end of the TV Olympics I can confirm as well that @SoMuchToBits closing ceremony was much better.

I third this!

I agree. Yesterday’s closing ceremony in Paris was so long and boring plus it didn’t help that MN went down for an hour lol. Can’t wait for PlaymoParalymics 🙂

Thank you all!

Wow what a brilliant closing ceremony! a fitting ending to a fantastic event. I have LOVED this thread, @SoMuchToBits I think you deserve an Olympic gold medal for making so many people happy🏅

Thank you!

It's now time for the Playmo Paralympics! There won't be nearly as many photos for this (just a handful each day) as It was far harder to find suitable sets to use.

At the opening ceremony paralympic athlete Pierre is the torch bearer!

He lights the Olympic flame, and King Athelstan declares the Paralympics open!

The sporting events start with wheelchair fencing. The competitors salute each other.

Yay!

En garde!

There is plenty of action!
