Man, What Do You Have to Do to Get a 10?
11:15pm: At the 10m Platform!
Although one of the Chinese divers did just get perfect 10s for a seriously stunning dive. But one of Aussie's just did a really nice one with very little splash and only got 6.0s for her trouble? So, search me? Maybe they didn't like how she got into her handstand.
Mexico's doing pretty well at the diving program, so that's pretty cool, then 3m Synchronised Men's team gave the Chinese pair a scare, LOL.
They've also got some stats, apparently some of the divers hit the water at more than 50km an hour, dang no wonder they wear those wrist guards.
In other news, I remain woefully behind on my McFly July 2024 prompts, but work is kind of kicking my ass at the moment and by the time I settle down to get into it it's late! At this rate I'll be finishing on 15th August, which is the day BTTF I was released in Australia so that's apt :OP
Watching the diving reminds me of how I was too scared to jump off the 1m at the pool, so I have no idea how 10m divers get the nerve! I guess they're not afraid of heights for one thing, LOL.
Anywho, I regret that I won't be able to watch the whole competition because it doesn't end until like 1:30am, dang time zones :OP
Speaking of, I better wrap up this entry and do my Duolingo, I'm past 1500 days now!
Before I go though...

Now You're Cooking
These questions were written by Dreamwidth user 0152062874.
1. Do you cook regularly or does someone else cook for you? I live by myself, so in general if I don't cook, no-one does. Although I do get Lite n Easy on a weekly basis, only for lunches, but that cut downs on the need for cooking.
2. Which are you better at making: sweet or savory foods? I do love my cupcakes, so I'm gonna say...sweet foods.
3. If you had to work as a chef in a restaurant of your choice, which restaurant would best complement your current culinary skills? Haha, oh man, that would be a pretty desperate restaurant! I guess I'll have to go with a diner, nothing too fancy you know.
4. What is a cooking tip that you know, but other people generally aren’t aware of? Ummm, I got nothing...I recently learned that baking soda goes off and loses it's rising ability, so if you didn't know that there's a tip.
5. Do you have a recipe you would like to share? I would, but it'd take too long to type out and I'm too lazy so... No :OP
Right, off I go! I've also got a load of laundry on, which will hopefully finish really soon so I get my butt to bed.
Goodnight!
