To celebrate my Sister in Laws Birthday, we went camping in West Virginia.
The family spent a whole week at the campsite, but due to work commitments, Vicky and I could only stay for two days.

Apart from the insects, the mud and rain, and the disgusting shower facilities, we all had a great time!
London 2012
I was very happy to see that we had the honour of hosting the Olympics this year. But unfortunately I wasn't able to see as much of it as I would have liked. TV channel NBC have the rights over here, and they showed 5 hours worth of highlights every night. Unfortunately that was about it! If you wanted to watch it live you had to watch it on their website during the day, when most of us were at work. During the weekends I watched the majority of the live events online on the bbc's website.
NBC did not show the whole of the of opening or closing ceremonys. Part way through the opening they cut away to an interview with Micheal Phelps! Most of their coverage was good, but if an American was not involved in a final, they were not interested. During one of the mens gymnastics finals, TeamGB won the silver, but the Japanese who won Bronze appealed, and the judges swapped our medals during the event. I only found this out the next day, I watched this event on NBC, but the commentators did not explain very well what was going on. Insane.
As a once in a lifetime event, I bought a few things from the official 'London2012' website, here's a couple of things I bought:
Not pictured is a lanyard I now wear at work with the Union flag all over it and 'London2012'. I love this as I think it has stopped people asking if I am from Australia.
A week tomorrow my Wife and I are going back to New York for the weekend!
Expect a blog about this soon.
A couple of random things I have found in local supermarkets, which I left on the shelf!
