Olympic fever

As I walked to work through Camden on Friday morning I realised I’d finally got caught up in the Olympic fever – I’d subconsciously adorned myself in red, white and blue. I’ve surprised myself by really getting into the spirit and my excitement is only increasing as we’re starting to win some medals – yay Team GB!

I caught the latter-half of the opening ceremony after my trip to the Zoo and felt quite emotional watching it all over again on Saturday morning (admittedly, slightly hungover). I don’t know whether my favourite part was James Bond collecting the Queen from Buckingham Palace or David Beckham looking super-gorgeous as he delivered the torch down the Thamesby speedboat (alongside the also gorgeous Jessica Ennis).

On Sunday I slapped on my Union Jack Violent Lips to go to Wembley to see our men’s football team beat the UAE 3-1. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to attend some curbside events but if not I’ll still show my support from a pub or two! Have you caught Olympic fever? Or are you just counting down until the whole thing is over?!

Your Union Jack lips sound absolutely fab!! I too have found myself getting into Olympic Fever – I’ve spent most of the past few days sitting around watching it on TV which I have never bothered much with before! Yay Team GB :) let’s hope we can win some more medals today! x

I’ve caught Olympic fever too – but it’s hard to keep up, with the timezones this time. Personally, my favourite part of the Opening Ceremony was Mr Bean!

Wasn’t so excited until the opening ceremony, it was surprisingly emotional at times! Definitely up and supporting Team GB :) xoxo
