It's all over the TV and the papers - all the time, I think people are really into in, but where we live it seems to be very low key. We live in a village of only 600 people, 5 hours drive from London, so it all seems a bit far away to us.
Also, I don't know what it is about the UK - we seem to be the same about everything - but all the news seems to be concentrating on is what is going wrong (strikes at the airport, secutiry problems) and nothing about how amazing it all is.
I'm looking forward to the opening ceremony. I bet there are a lot of people throwing sickies from work today !!
