To be sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine while...

...the Olympic Torch passes by about 1/4 mile away.

I can hear the warm-up act over the loudspeakers and it sounds like Butlin's on a bad day.

I'd have been there with you, hopefully with a glass of wine in my hand. ;0)

Since they all started selling the torches on eBay it's kind of killed it for me.

They could have waited until after the games if they wanted to do it. It cheapens the whole event IMO.
