Life after the Olympics

The end now what?
When people who had never been to the Caribbean embraced their Jamaican side
How do I get back to life after the Olympics? Ahh those blissful two weeks which went like this.. Wake up look at my canvas and then go switch on the TV and consume some gymnastics, dressage (tip toeing horses), a bit of Clare Balding on the swimming, then Adonis bodies heating up the track in the evenings.  Aaahhh the life.

Everything was gold, post boxes our medal table and the return of Wispa Gold

The Olympic fire has been extinguished and I have to admit I’m nostalgic for those days, because the news was filled with gold dust instead of rail fare rises, but another thing is ending in my life... Game of Thrones.
Daenerys Targaryen rising from the flames with a new pet.

Yes I’m talking about the medieval fantasy novel turned HBO series on Sky Atlantic. On my Kindle rests the last book in the series which I downloaded last night and I’m scared because ever since Daenerys Targaryen  was reborn from the flames with not one but three dragons adorning her body, I’ve been sucked into a world where many of my favourite characters have been dealt quite harshly by the writer George Martin and I’m desperate for a good pay off after investing in all 5 books (with an average of 600 pages per novel) in the series.
All together now. SHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT

That’s the problem with investing in something... the return? Great returns belong  The Wire – time well spent including a midnight dash to Piccadilly’s HMV to purchase box set number 4 after finishing series 3 at 22:38pm. Pay Off yes 100%


But I do hope Game of Thrones will give me a better return than our GB relay team.
