I saw the Olympic Torch!

I feel like this is the kind of thing I can tell my grandchildren (when I'm of that kind of age...).

Anyway, here's my one and only picture of the torch going on its journey. Pretty cool huh? I honestly wasn't too bothered, it was a sort of blink-and-you-miss-it kind of thing. A dozen police bimbled past on their motorbikes at seemingly unnecessary intervals for about 20 minutes, then there was a procession of sponsors (like Coca-Cola), and then the torch was lit and ran past.

Funny (ish) thing was, there was a bus that drove past full of the day's runners, and each of their torches waiting. It did kind of take the 'special' aspect away, because it made it too real that there are actually 8,000 of these torches, not just one unique torch. But never mind!

So yeah, that's my exciting day following two fun physics exams.

PS: I've only just noticed the guy standing on top of a truck taking photos in the background. That must have been fun!
