Distracted Me From My Discomfort.

Roberto Matta

Since, I started watching the BBC TV coverage of the athletics at the Olympic Stadium last Friday it has been very enjoyable.

Yesterday I watched many of the events, such as the uneven bars with Beth Tweddle who gave a magnificent performance which earned her a bronze medal.

Finally Beth got her Olympic medal; she has won three World Championships that up to now she had never succeeded before in winning an Olympic medal.

She narrowly missed getting gold because she stumbled very slightly on her dismount from the uneven bars, the bronze medal was well deserved by Beth.

Yesterday we also watched boxing, and we saw a fine bout between Anthony Ogogo and Stefan Hartel from Germany, which earned Anthony a semi-final place.

Also saw the Irish superstar, Katie Taylor win against Natasha Jonas of Great Britain, in 60 K boxing quarter final.

It was good to see women’s boxing was finally included in the Olympic Games; however gender quickly became irrelevant only talent mattered.

Watching the men's hundred metres was very entertaining, and there was little doubt very soon after the start that Usain Bolt would be the winner.

With Johan Blake coming an extremely close second, I'm sure that Blake will soon be winning many races.

It was brilliant seeing Andy Murray playing again Roger Federer, great to see Andy in control.

 Even better to witness him beating Roger to an Olympic gold medal, just one month after Roger won against him at Wimbledon in June.

Sadly Laura Robson and Andy Murray could not win gold in a doubles match against the top seeds from Belarus.

Excellent seeing Lizzie Armitstead winning a silver medal in the women's road race, the winner was Marianne Vos of the Netherlands.

There were so many excellent events and after a while everything began to become slightly blurred and difficult to remember every detail.

The important thing was that I enjoyed myself tremendously; it certainly took my mind off my discomfort.

Bright Sunny Afternoon.

Woke up to cloudy skies that kept on moving to reveal blue skies and gorgeous sunshine, Richie says it felt mild in the sun.

Have enjoyed listening to the radio, the coverage of Andy Murray was so good that Richie switched on the TV to see him win the semi final of the Australian Open.

Tennis is not my game not like football is so I never watch tennis did watch the Williams sisters and hope that Andy Murray wins the final.

Noticing there that I can not lean forward anymore, when Richie puts dried fruit or a piece of chocolate on the table I can barely reach it.

Funny making such a discovery in such a calm way, no point in making anything of it, nothing that I can do to change or stop it.

Have learned that having accepted that I can do nothing to change my situation, the only thing I can do is to enjoy this moment right now.

If there was something that I could do, I would do it, sure my positivity and will power would have been strong enough.
