One year to go

LOCOG and the media were, clearly, always going to mark this milestone. Some things have been good, some not so good. The latter includes Will Self on Newsnight who was (rightly, in my mind) critical of the huge expenditure, and heavily challenging those in charge about the true legacy of the Games (my jury is well and truly out on that one: it's needed, but will it happen?).

But, as a sports nut, I get hooked in by the magic of the Olympic Games every time. I know it'll have its hooks in me (and deeply) whilst it's going on, and I really hope I'm selected to work as a volunteer at the Games.

The stadium lit up as London grew light this morning got me all excited:
