Here is a photo of St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge, in the centre of London.
I am going to take a blog break for a fortnight, and enjoy the sights of London.

Month: August 2008
1431 days to go
Only 1431 days to go until the next Olympics in my hometown, London. I will start my training tomorrow.
This one too
Is this really the Olympics?
Another Olympic sport
What sport is this?
How many people?
This is an Olympic sport.
One more new sport
Why do they eat their medals?
Another new sport
What is this new Olympic sport?
Synchronised badminton of course!
Togo bronze
This is good. Togo’s first ever Olympic medal, in the kayak race, great.
New Olympic Sport
Have found a new sport for the Olympics: synchronised fencing.
Colourful
Who paid for all this?
8.8.8
The Olympics begin today, on 8.8.8, a very lucky Chinese number.
But what is sport?
Performance v Competition
Here are two nice photos, both of them happen to consist of Chinese people, but that isn’t the point.
Both pictures show people doing something incredibly athletic and beautiful.
Performance or competition?
Eclipse
When the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching us then we get a giant shadow, known as an eclipse, for several minutes. This is what happens.
An eclipse occurred a few days ago. The best place to see it was Siberia, Russia, but here is a great view taken from space.
Ballpark
So what is the name of the ballpark in the picture of San Francisco below?
It is not Candlestick Park as I first thought. Actually it only took a little research to find out that it is AT&T Park. It was built in 2000 and is the home of the San Francisco Giants, and is probably most famous for all those home runs that Barry Bonds hit into San Francisco Bay.
