Yesterday was all about basking in nostalgia at the Anniversary Games and enjoying some top class athletics in the Olympic stadium. Having been informed all week by the weather forecast to expect torrential downpours throughout the day, we found ourselves basking in glorious sunshine, with raincoats packed into bags and a lack of sun cream. Fortunately, our seats enabled us to remain in the shade all day and avoid sunburn and heatstroke. Phew. The athletics was excellent but when Mo Farah's race took place, that was when we were given a slight taste of what it would have been like to be in the crowd on that Super Saturday night, during the London Olympics last year. The crowd really came alive and whilst we went nuts for Mo, Katarina Johnson-Thompson won the long jump - a la Greg Rutherford a year ago - with her final leap. The adulation for Mr Farah was immense, then to top it all off, Usain Bolt - charismatic, world superstar that he is - ran the anchor leg for the Jamaican team in the 4x100 metres relay. To see athletes like Mo, Bolt, Christine Ohorogu, Jess Ennis and upcoming talent like KJT in the flesh, was a real pleasure. Then we came home to watch a re run of Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony on BBC1. A great way to remember a great time...
