It's all over. The lovely time that was the 2012 Olympics is done. It seems to me that everything ran like clockwork, everyone was smiling, the sun shone, and it was a glorious time. In fact, methinks a sprinkle of fairydust was in there somewhere! We had such a lovely time watching from our sofa, shouting for the underdogs, cheering on the winners; smiling, laughing and crying all at the same time - Big emotions there! And now, I need to say thank you.
I have three friends who were volunteers and they, and every one of the other volunteers, were truly "Gamesmakers" - for indeed we couldn't have done it without you. So to Maggie Wood doing Eton Dorney transport, Declan Cooke part of the opening ceremony, and Jenny Hurst in there somewhere - and to each and every one of the other volunteers -WELL DONE AND THANK YOU! And old, cynical me, at my age - so proud of everyone. The volunteers who pointed the way; the drivers, the organisers, the army personnel who stepped in to do a job a private firm couldn't finish. The actors, the dancers, the musicians for the opening and closing ceremonies, and every single one of you in the background - unsung heroes and heroines. You done good!
Mac-Adventures (with books! I read an eclectic mix of books, some years old, rarely prizewinners, sometimes on bestseller lists but more than likely not: but the ones I like I'll tell you about...... if you read them too, let me know! You may also find Gardening here, Home and Furniture makeovers; sometimes Food, Travel tales..... but mostly, Books.
