I have thoroughly enjoyed our guessing game.
Have you?
For those of you just joining us, I posted this picture in yesterday’s Egg and asked for guesses as to the building’s identity.
The entries have shown range and creativity — everything from a pig to a museum, a ship to a stomach ulcer.
So close, and yet so far.
Actually, the photo depicts one of the shooting arenas at the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in London.
Now, before you say, “No fair! I would have never seen that,” the shooting events at the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics were held here. So you might have spied it on NBC’s Olympics coverage.
And if you did, you would no doubt remember. I mean, how cool is that?
Nailed it
Last night a good friend posted on Facebook that she was “kind of addicted” to the Olympics.
We should start a support group.
But she did mention a rather unique obsession — the athletes’ nail art.
I’ve noticed that, too — specifically on the swimmers. We’re not just talking red-white-and-blue, or gold-silver-and-bronze color palettes; that would be kid stuff in London.
I have to admit, though — I assumed these too-cool nails were manufactured, stick-ons or polishes like the ones I have seen in stores lately. I couldn’t imagine someone doing them by hand, or the athletes sitting still for it.
Well, what do I know?
