That Was It
Wednesday, September 12th, 2012 12:38 pmSo our wonderful summer of sport is now complete - and as it began with Bradley Wiggins' Tour de France win, it ended with Andy Murray's US Open win, and in between the awesome Olympics and Paralympics.
I had a major sad on Sunday at not having been a GamesMaker, despite being told I reached the required standard and despite it being my dream since I was 11 to work at a home Olympics (there was a behind-the-scenes feature during coverage of the Los Angeles Olympics about people working at the athletes' village). Even now, while I'm not sad that the Games have ended - they were always going to end, obviously, and I wanted to be able to look back and say 'we did it, and it was awesome' - I'm sad I couldn't be involved more. Driving to Sainsburys yesterday, I noticed they'd removed the banners on the main roads going into town with all the Olympics symbols on. But I'm not accepting that summer is over just yet, as I still haven't worn my maxi dresses anywhere. I have this week off, we might be going out with my sister & my niece this afternoon, then I have two more days to sort something fun. Hopefully I will have something to write up about here by the weekend.
