I am glued to my TV. The Paris paralympics started on Wednesday and since my Internet was down I got into it. Team GB is doing really well and I have limited my Internet use now it’s been restored to the gaps between TV programmes showing the athletes in action.

So far I’ve watched Boccia (like bowls but using cloth covered softer balls), archery, athletics (field and track, with various disabilities), rowing, badminton, table tennis, tennis, cycling, and blind football. There’s also been wheelchair rugby and basketball.

It’s all fascinating and the skills the athletes show is amazing. If you can watch have a look!
