volleyball
I went to see the men's indoor volleyball semi-finals last week, at Earl's Court. I had no idea what it would be like, but I really enjoyed the fast-paced game, and cheered for Bulgaria (I liked their outfits), although they eventually lost to Russia, the eventual gold medallists.
It's the second week of the Olympics. It's still sunny, it's still fun, and I finally made it to the Olympic Park!
We managed to get some last minute athletics tickets, and couldn't believe that our seats in the main stadium were right next to the gorgeous Olympic cauldron. It was designed by Thomas Heatherwick (I love his work!), and it's truly beautiful...
Here's my little watercolour sketch of it...
