Had Hale still been with us she would have looked at me as if I was slightly stupid, and with a determined bum of disapproval would have retreated under a chair, the desk or the bed, as if to say 'Count me out!' That's fine. I can live with that sort of disapproval. The Olympics is my once-in-four-years utter delight. I love it and am not really too bothered if she did show disapproval (she did for the Beijing Olympics so am utterly confident she would have done this time).
I have booked for the City of Coventry Stadium and at the last minute decided I really had to see Stratford so am off to water polo. But first - the Opening Ceremony.
