RE: August is Olympic
The Olympics haven't got their hooks into me yet. It's always a cool start until the track and field.

And anyway, with England winning the cricket today AND QPR seeing off Leeds 3-0 in the first game of the season, I've had bigger fish to fry. I'll get round to Brazil in a few days.

Talking of "beautiful articles", I found this one (below) rather touching the other day. The sad confession is that I'd probably not bother having read it if it hadn't been about a player who plays for my favourite team. A lot of good stuff goes on that we don't hear about. But it made me realise how valuable it is for charities to get people like footballers and celebs involved. Suddenly we take them more seriously when they are connected with people we like and admire. Sounds obvious, I know, but it only hit home when I saw the article and immediately felt engaged by it.
