Farewell Athens

I haven't see or heard from J in Athens since the start of the Olympics, but hopefully I'll get to speak to her before she works on the Paralympics. Today I've happily worn my Athens 2004 t-shirt whilst watching the last events. It's been a great games, marred only at the last moment by the attack on Vanderlei de Lima in the mens marathon. Funnily enough, like Stuart Hughes, my first thought was that the attacker was the same person who had run onto the track at Silverstone last year - he was dressed the same, it seemed to much of a coincidence. More on this later.

And yes, it's confirmed. They should have locked him up for 2 years, not 2 months.
