The Olympics is still on and those Mummies are still watching the climbing. It’s the Women’s Boulder and Lead finals tonight and everyone is very excited – especially the Mummies. I think they have their favourites – especially Mori Ai, the short Japanese climber, and Janja Gainbret, the tall Slovenian. It is fascinating to watch the different techniques the climbers use as they complete the four different boulder courses, based on their physiques and individual strengths. The Mummies are wondering if they televise Sport Climbing outside of the Olympics. They may be thinking about what they’ll watch when the Olympics and Paralympics finish – but they will always have Midsomer Murders. They’re still watching Barnaby when the Olympics aren’t on – like before and between events. It was wonderful this evening when M Sooz told M Kaz who the murderer was – but, M Sooz said, he seems like such a nice man. They often do.
M Kaz is spending a lot of time in front of her computer and tablet at the moment. She’s doing research for their trip, consolidating the notes she’s been making over the last few months – well, that’s what she’s saying but we all know she’s also trying out a new app. She seems happy with it so far but she’s only had it a couple of days.
It’s a bit warmer here at the moment – way warmer than the 5° degree morning a couple of weeks ago. It was 16° yesterday morning when M Kaz went down to the water. When she goes M Sog and I stay in bed. Yes, it may no5 be as cold but it’s still cold enough.
