Today I use those very words (only lightly though)...
Yes I almost wet myself I don't mind telling you, for who did I happen to see coming in from an early morning warm up? Ever heard of someone by the surname of Bolt??? Yep the one and only Usain Bolt, my daughter Savannah's idol, I know she will love this photo.
OMG how nice is this guy, no really?.. Mr legend himself gave me a hug and a quick photo before he headed off for a shower and rest (his words), before his semi finals later tonight. I am not usually star struck, but on this occasion I will allow myself that luxury..
Today finds me doing something completely different since being based in the Village! I am at the Queen Mary's University of London in Mile End on the desk. Here is where the rest of the Team GB staff are staying for the Games. They have booked out rooms while the students are away to ensure they cover additional accommodation for anyone connected to Team GB, from officials to Athletes who would rather stay here and not in the village for peace and quiet. I can tell you there are a couple of very well known athletes booked in here who are still in competition...
It is not the same as being in the Village, however it is great and I get to relax, watching as much of the sports to my hearts content on the massive projector. I will make the most of the day here as I will no doubt be run off my feet tomorrow back in the village ..
