Or the Pringle as it became known during London 2012.
A busy day after a lazy start. Zumba, and a cycle after to the Olympic Park stopping for lunch at Mother on the canal side. Cycled from there to the velodrome to see the small but interesting exhibition to coincide with the 10th anniversary of London 2012. As well as information boards on the Olympics and Paralympics, on display were the medals, the Olympic and Paralympic torches, and a 'petal' from Thomas Heatherwick's cauldron.
Cyclists were practising round the track where Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Jason Kenny, Dame Sarah Storey, Laura Trott (now Kenny), Victoria Pendleton et al won their 2012 medals.
Cycled home via a nose in Aldi. Our old neighbours who've moved to Leicester were around later that evening so popped out to say hello, see how they're doing and tell them we'd found a home for their rose bush.
Gorbachev, the last leader of the old USSR and he who did so much to end the Cold War, has died. Shame he had to see his work undone by Pootin.
3 good things
1. Set up a WhatsApp group for our forthcoming Irish jaunt.
2. Diligently did my knee exercises in the gym after Zumba, and played music when I got home.
3. We watched highlights from days 1 and 2 of London 2012.
at first I thought this was a revisit to 2012 . Great viewpoint and the velodrome looks like a great legacy from the games, unlike the London Stadium and West Ham's occupancy of it (never a footie stadium)
The prospective is very satisfying., If you cropped the photo to remove the ground, the "Pringle" it could also double to look like a picnic basket from an ants perspective
