July 26 2021 - Stay up late or get up early for Olympics Live!

 

What is the latest Olympics news?  There's 9 minutes ago, 31 minutes ago, 8 hours ago, and the NBC coverage is 23 hours ago.   It is 9:44pm in Japan now so there must be a lot of news overnight.  What a complicated thing this is - take COVID together with the time difference, and the Olympics is not able to be the live experience that was so spectacular in the past. Do you stay up late, or get up early? Here's the timing for Great Britain coverage of favoured events: Monday 26 July – Adam Peaty, 100m breaststroke final, 3am Tuesday 3 August – Laura Kenny, team pursuit final, 8am Wednesday 4 August – Sky Brown, skateboard park final, 1am For Canada, the CBC website has a headline that says the time difference story: "While you were sleeping:  Canada's 1st Olympic champion in Tokyo".  There's a feature box  on the site - While you were sleeping - All the news from Tokyo 2020 that happened while you slept. I guess this will be repeated when the winter Olympics are hosted by China.  Will it be COVID in the past?  That's the question on our minds. Isn't this such a pretty hand-painted "postcard" on one of the Painted Ladies' fences in Grimsby Beach.  Millie and I were there this morning.

It is interesting that the late autumn Beamer Falls woodland has the same colours and tones as the Strassburg railway passenger cars in the spring.  The first image uses motion blur in the camera, and the second image has a texture overlay for the post card text.
