Closing ceremony

Anyone going to watch the perseid meteor shower?

Gawd this is boring!

It’s always cloudy at Perseid weekend. The years I’ve spent sitting in the garden for half the night, usually when I had to be up for work the next day. I can’t actually believe it’s that time of year again though.

Let's face it what a load of twaddle!

Ah…..I GET it…(slow on the uptake, moi)

Heavens above, is he tied on? 😮

There’s always the option of watching paint drying

See above RosiesMaw.

And I was looking forward to the Closing Ceremony .... thought it couldn't be worse than the Opening Ceremony BUT I was wrong

The Olympic rings coming?

I wondered what they were, they reminded me of the frames I bought from the florists to make Christmas wreaths (but a bit larger of course).

And the hamster wheels?
Everything seems to go on for SO long……

I am watching the equally wonderful young players of the National Youth Orchestra on BBC4 perform Mahler’s First Symphony at the Proms from the Royal Albert Hall.

I’ve made the wrong choice. Thank goodness for iPlayer.

Oh goodness, that took me back.
A friend used to play for the NYO but that was in the ancient past too.

The Olympic rings coming?

Is he singing in Ancient Greek?

How come I never knew the Ancient Greeks sang hymns?
My classics education must be sadly lacking.

How do you play a piano vertically?

I've only just seen this thread, after commenting on the Olympics Sport thread.
I'd say the lighting is pretty amazing!

OMGoodness! It's wobbling 😮

It's all very um, er, atmospheric?
Apart from That Carpet.

The Antiques Road Show was interesting.

Couldn't we have the handover ceremony then one big party?

Good to see The Wicker Man resurrected.

Well done for all the medals won by the Great Britain team 🇬🇧

With all that smoke, how can the audience see what's going on?
