Jo Drury: Birthday & London Olympics 2012

Yesterday was my 19th birthday, which passed pretty uneventfully - I didn't really do anything, just went out for a meal and to the cinema with my boyfriend. I much preferred that than going out clubbing - I find it's something you really have to be in the mood for, and I'm not in that mood particularly often. I couldn't have gone out even if I wanted to - it was a Tuesday, which means town would be deserted, but more importantly, I had to be up early this morning to go to the Olympics!

The Olympics was pretty cool - we (my parents, boyfriend and I) went to see the athletics this morning. We had really good seats, 8 rows from the front, so we could see loads! We got to see Mo Farah who's become pretty well supported since winning his gold medal a few days ago for Team GB. There were also a few other Team GB athletes we got to see. We saw some running (5000m, 800m, 100m), pole vaults, hammer, shot put and long jump.. so it was quite a range of events.

Team GB are currently on 22 golds, with a grand total of 48 medals. We're 3rd on the medals table, behind China and USA - which I think is pretty good considering the number of people in GB compared to the number of people in China or the US. Go us!
