Thoughts on this evening

• Paris looked lovely, despite the rain

• the catwalk-y bit was ‘different’…as was the blue fellow

• I enjoyed SuperNature - was it really written by Lene Lovich?

• I thought we might have heard Gainsbourg, or Brassens, or the Negresses or Manu Choa

• the combined wash of all those boats made the Seine quite choppy

• Imagine was nice

• I didnt know many of the torch-bearers…. but neither did the BBC 😃

• wouldnt it be great if they changed it so that each country had the same number of athletes?

• the fire balloon was properly spectacular

• the floating horse was marvellous

• …but it went on too long

• Celine est magnifique!

• I really enjoyed it
