Tonight we went into Cardiff Bay to see the Paralympic Torch reaching the beacon for Wales and being lit. We arrived at 7pm, splashed around for a bit, found out that they weren't lighting it until gone 9pm and came home again. Reclothed in dry clothes and The Boy's splashproof suit, we went back out again (it's only 5 minutes from us) andreparked the car. Unfortunately, they didn't light the flame until 10pm which was way too late for little ones. However, The Boy did brilliantly and cheered hugely when Simon Weston was the last torch bearer in Wales. The Boy really enjoyed himself and did superbly.

A Fruity Sports Day Celebration (Competition)
I've resisted getting excited about the Olympics, but I can't prevent it anymore. Quite frankly it's pretty big damn deal that Britain is hosting them and I really regret not trying to get any tickets for the football matches in Cardiff.
Over the next few weeks I will be doing some sporty activities with The Boy and trying to rope in a few of his friends too, maybe we'll try out the Lemon and Spoon race again?
The Gallery: Streetlife
I've posted before about the day that The Boy and I discovered the wonderful world around us when we went into Cardiff on the train, so I didn't want to use those photos again for this week's gallery theme of 'Street Photography'. However, when I was writing up a review earlier I came across a photo that I feels fits the theme really well at the moment.
This photograph was taken when we were in London for the Britmums Live blogging conference, right slap bang in between the start of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the upcoming Olympic games.
I feel it kind of sums up Britain at the moment, what do you think?
