It is 10 years today since the start of the Sydney Olympics and there is a big celebration today in Sydney at the Sydney Olympic Stadium with athletes and the volunteers. My most memorable moment was when Cathy Freeman lit the Olympic Flame
She went on to win the 400 metres. The biggest star for Australia was Ian Thorpe who won 5 gold medals in swimming. These were the best games ever, as announced by the IOC Chairman, Juan Antonio Samaranch, something Australia is very proud of.
The days are still cool and we've been having rain during the night. Last year around this time we were having days around 30 degrees, now we are struggling to get the temperature to 20 degrees. The next 7 days is forecast to get to only 15 degrees. I am praying for the days to get warmer.

We spent a week in Sydney in November 2008 going over there for my cousins' daughters' wedding. Staying at Manly we caught the ferry into the city every day and as the ferry straightened up one sight we never tired of was the Bridge and Opera House. The Opera House is where Oprah Winfrey will be telecasting her show when she comes to Sydney later this year. They say it will be known as "Oprah House" while she is here.
