    Very hard counselling session today, still glad we’re going but it was very difficult. We’re both giving each other some space in the house, and I’ve been listening to Radiohead all afternoon …sad and confused relationships are hard face

      The Olympics are the one time countries from all over the world come together in the name of friendship. Sure it’s an ideal, the world can be an awful place, but we need ideals to aspire to.

      I love it so much.

      For me it’s something that I love watching and have taken an interest in. I listen to sports related stuff and it gives me something to do and enjoy.

      I support a team and feel passionate about it to the degree that I hate seeing my team pounded and lose that I turn off the tv or switch channels.

      I’m not sporty by any means but in a unique sort of thing it allows me to connect with people at work and have chats to people about it if they follow the same sport that wouldn’t otherwise allow me to because my other interests are something that are hard to talk about to others (gaming).

      Have you ever been in an office and you’ve scrunched up a piece of paper, aimed at the bin, got it in and others in the room gave a little cheer “shot wscholermann!”?

      Well times that by 100. These athletes are the best of the best, on the world stage competing for a medal. Why wouldn’t you want to cheer these guys on?

      For me, I love having something to stick on in the background, to occasionally watch. The kids love the idea of the best of the best smashing it out too.

      I don’t have any interest in everyday sports. I don’t watch it and don’t play it. (And I don’t gamble, which I think is a big attractor for some people being very into sports). But I enjoy the olympics to see some of the exotic sports like gymnastics and javelin and diving. I don’t really care who wins. And the olympics has a different atmosphere, it seems more pure or something? (I know it’s full of cheats, I mean it’s not for profit)

    Morning all.
    Friend I haven’t seen since - geez, since before Mum died - is coming down for a catch-up and to see the new place (and meet the cats).
    House unit is a bit messy, so I’m trying to motivate myself to get out of bed and start cleaning. A difficult task when Sammi’s snuggled into my side.

    Dammit. One of my washing gloves has a massive gash. :(

    No backups either. One handed washing it’ll be for now.

    Some days a surface level clean won’t do and today was one of days. Love the feeling of a freshly cleaned house, but none of the steps to achieve it.

    Rewarding myself with a cheesy pasta bake and beer.
