Olympic Fever

It's that time again...

Every four years I suffer from a strange condition: Olympic Fever.

Some of my friends are also suffering from this strange condition. It hits us every four years and keeps us virtually housebound and glued to our televisions.

Suddenly I begin to watch sport. Not only that, but I become an instant armchair expert on every sport I watch. You name it - I can judge it from the comfort of my own lounge room.

Well... that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! What better reason could there be to stay inside on a cold winter's day? And just so I don't feel totally bad about staying indoors, I do odd things like catching up on the ironing, polishing the floors, mending clothes, catching up on my writing and editing and getting some painting done - the artistic type. This morning during the beach vollyball and men's basketball I even cleaned all the windows - the insides at least.

All in the name of fun!

Good luck to all our Olympians! You're all heroes.

Cheers
