Yes. Two pieces of very good news. The first is that I have achieved the first part of my late-life ambiton. Today I received an email from the London Gamesmaker site. I have been selected as an EVS Mobility Team Member for the Olympic events at Lord's Cricket Ground in 2012. This is good news on several fronts. Lord's is my spiritual home. I have been an avid cricket watcher since my early teens. OK so cricket isn't in the Games per se but I'm certain you can't take the cricket atmosphere out of Lord's. Secondly St John's Wood is my nearest venue. I can be there in around half an hour. I was beginning to think that Stratford and the Olympic Park was rather a long commute and that maybe I'd fail in the stamina stakes! So. Shall I be driving electric vehicles? Who knows, but I'm really looking forward to the training.
By the way I had to sign something that inferred talking about the organisation or any backstage Olympic stuff on Facebook or a blog was not on. This blog is about my losing weight (we hope). I have no intention of saying anything negative about my Olympic dream at all. Just so you know , , ,
And I've lost another 2lbs. My scales hadn't moved all week so I was pretty despondent when I went to SW yesterday evening. I had stuck to the diet other than overindulging in red wine. 2lbs is a good loss for the second week. Hopefully I'll get my half stone award next Wednesday. Fingers crossed.
I am aware that I should put pictures on her just to show how large I really am. The trouble is I try and keep out of photographs! I may make an exception and ask one of the kids to take one. Watch this space.
