Great stuff Lizzi - although it even took me a while to spot Dave & I in your photo, despite knowing where we were sitting and what we were wearing, so I'll be quite impressed if anyone else can find us!

[RoastLamb]

Excellent! Love all the photos. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Well it wouldn't be a challenge otherwise....and also I only had the baby camera and that was using maximum zoom ;)

Oh thank god you 've put them up here - I thought that by following you as a blogger it would alert me to all your blogs but irritatingly it doesn't!

Yeah it's annoying. Having said that I have several blogs going so it makes it more awkward :)

[RFS]

HAHAH I spotted ya!

I always wondered why you have separate posts as separate blogs... does your template not let you do multiple?
It's the templates that always discombobulate me - it took me ages to find one that didn't look totally naff for the new 5-ring circus one.

Just personal preference. Some of the blogs I break into chunks cos I don't have time to write them all at once. Others I break up so they aren't long and rambling.....!

I sometimes think I waffle on too much in my blogs :)

Oh no I do't think you do at all - I think you're blogs are really very well written. You break it up well with photos... and you bring a lot into them.

Ah thanks :) You should read my accountancy blogs....they are riveting ;)

Great stuff Lizzim. It's disgraceful how empty the seats are!

[cazza99]

[Genbrit]

Thanks for the blog Lizzi. Really enjoyed reading it & looking at the pics :clap::GBsmile:

I know...and by the sounds of things the transport system didn't cope well either....so we made the correct decision to leave before the end!

Just writing up all my days of watching - but getting waylaid by athletics!

[supergran]

But what do you think, as a writer, of our blogs.....?.You haven't said.

I hope this isn't to me? It really is not my place to "judge" how people write... especially as I am not formally "qualified" as I still have shorthand pending.
And even if I was qualified... I still wouldn't judge.
People write on here to share their experiences of Andy, Tennis and/or sport in general. It is what it is.

[supergran]

It was to you...wasn't asking for a "critical judgement". Added "as a writer" as a little compliment. Just wondering if you'd enjoyed what we had written.

When I have time to read them, mostly yes. But my time has been stolen in the past months so haven't seen as much as in normal years.
I click on thanks for some, comment on others.. depends on what I have the time to do.

It isn't a compliment. It just reminds me that I haven't passed my diploma. Until I do - I don't consider myself a writer. I consider myself a failure after 10 months of sacrifice and hard graft.
Not what I need to be honest.

I have now added the link to my Paralympic blog in the first post :)

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Lizzim!!!
:thumbup:

I'm recording it.....will finish too late for me and I can skip any adverts this way :)

[RFS]

Well blogged (as always) ... I agree - visually impaired long jump was just amazing. I had nothing but admiration throughout that event - I didn't get to go at all to the Paralympics but watched as much as I could in between a schedule and a ha,f at work.

Amazing events. We did ourselves proud.

I will be doing a holiday blog very soon!!
