You know, in life, timing can be everything


The Olympic ceremony is twenty four short hours away.
On it's final day touring the United Kingdom the torch has been trotted out around the city of Westminster. Crowd estimations for today's event topped a million. During the last sixty nine days no less than twelve million have turned out to watch the progress of the torch.
Sports stars, celebrities, those with connections, war heroes, politicians, the high and mighty, they all fought tooth and nail  to hold the torch aloft, albeit for a brief moment.
And then we get down to the highlight of this two month extravaganza , the torch comes to mighty Pimlico, and specifically the exit to the Pimlico tube.
We had spent the day out over in our old haunt of Angel Islington.
I had to return to the apartment early to attend to some business however Julia hung about to do some shopping. 
And here's what went down.
Julia caught the tube back home and she exited the station at the same moment the torch arrived.
There was a brief thirty second lull prior to thousands over running the place.
Just enough time for Julia to claim glory for Godzone.
We are now off to the pub to celebrate.
Yee Ha!
