The race is on to (finally) wear our summer clothes. It's the Wise and Avid Olympics - off we go!

Athletic leap on To new thread.

Yay Amber! Have fun. Outfit sounds v cool.

Thanks SE that is v generous of you - will examine wardrobe carefully tomorrow and phone you in a blind panic let you know.

Have a good night out everyone! rufus, that picture of Claudia is my favouite look in the whole world! The make up and everything, just perfect. And I think she's wearing a blazer!

We had a lovely day today. If you ever need a sponge recipe, that tray bake was lovely although I left out the almonds and used yeo valley natural yoghurt instead of greek. Have eaten too much, and want to feel normal again!

Hope the training goes well hopefully and seventh. And I'm looking forward to seeing you on HoC's facebook page!

I cannot stand opening ceremonies [unpatriotic]

Oh Bloss I'm loving it - laughing and weeping in equal measure. Amazing!

I repent!! Love Rowan Atkinson..

Lol Bloss. Can't believe how amazing it is!

Watching the opening ceremony with DH and two oldest DC.
I'm shockingly unpatriotic too bloss but it is actually rather good- unexpected humour and nostalgia.

Lovely haircuts girls (esp red). I'm totally rubbish with my hair. Must sort it out once baby a bit bigger!

decam- definitely a cultural thing so don't take offence. Would be much more common for an Asian to think that a boy is superior (lots of selective abortions in India) and also to actually say it. Chinese, etc will tend to speak their mind far more readily in my experience. Can be good and bad!

Loving the sun and such great timing for the DC's Summer holiday!

My favourite bit - the checking out of athletes. V impressed with Afghanistan's flag-bearer.

And Mr Antigua. Hello.

PMLS at Mr Antigua, Hello. Red

You wait until you see Mr Botswana - he is a hottie...

Get in there Mr Banglasdesh.

He should have gone to Spec Savers...

I enjoyed the look MiM. Eagerly awaiting Botswana.

Ding dong.

Eye, eye..Mr Cambodia.

Oh, Mr Chad rocking the Pet Shop Boys.

Chile registering pretty high on the hotness per capita front. Good work.

Mr China is huge.

In height, ladies please.

Let's not discriminate, Ms Colombia stunning.

He he.

WTF with the Czech wellies?! Best female line-up according to DH.

I NEED to see Mr Honduras coming out to Ottawan, "She is D.I.S.C.O".

Then I'll be happy.

Yes please Mr Fiji.
