The Olympic Torch

[bogwitch]

So the Olympic torch will be passing the end of my street, on a Sunday, at a reasonable hour in July. I really don't have much of an excuse to not bother with the momentous event then, do I? Seeing that's it's made such an effort to get to me.

I think it might be going past the end of our road too - although when I put our post code into the route checker thing it told me it didn't know what I was talking about and to check I existed...

But I rather think I'll have no excuse not to go and look, too!

[bogwitch]

It's not that I'll ever get another chance. But it's not really all that exciting, is it?

[curiouswombat]

That's my feeling, too. And yet it would be silly, I suppose, to not go and see what all the fuss is about when it hardly requires much more than lifting my backside out of my chair.

[bogwitch]

And I could do with the exercise.

It's going to be about five minute's walk from me. Dunno if I will be bothered to go, though.

I just can't manage to be interested. To quote a beloved character, I'm paralysed with not caring very much.

[bogwitch]

Exactly, but it's so close I feel I ought to make the effort.

With any luck the torch bearer will be the chap at work that got nominated by the company to carry it for us (as we were the principal contractor for the construction of the Olympic stadium), so at least they will be someone I know to cheer on.

True, lol. It's going to be RIGHT THERE.

If there wasn't a hedge in the way, I could see it from my window! Damn hedge.

[bogwitch]

Yeah, it wouldn't be much of an event without me.

Go do it. I've actually seen the torch a couple of times and it was fun. I wouldn't do a huge effort, but that close? Go.

I missed the big explosion in town, so maybe I should make the effort to see the next most exciting thing.
