An Olympic Job?

Monday, October 25th, 2010

As I go back and forth each day out of Liverpool Street station I have seen the stadium for London 2012 taking shape. I’ve been more interested in the progress of the Aquatics centre myself, as a regular(ish) paddler, and because it looks like it’s going to be a very cool building. What I’m not looking forward to seeing very much is how much London’s transport system may grind to a standstill when the games begin…

It might make sense to book that time as holiday…or how about a working holiday? This Wednesday is the deadline for applications to volunteer to be a ‘Games Maker’. Go here if you fancy being behind the scenes (or out front on the door maybe) in 2012!

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
