I know I promised photos of all the excitement, so I'll share just one photo first :)



Are the British absolutely charming and gorgeous or what?!?! PM Blair was so wonderful! And Sebastian Coe was such a gentleman as well. Seriously, I don't think I've ever been this starstruck in my life! :)

Here's a picture of me supporting the London bid:



We went to work in sporting gear today - track shoes and all - and, after we were given the cue, ran into the ballroom where the press conference was being held, and shouted, "London, here we come!!!" Our GM presented Sebastian Coe with a huge bouquet of flowers and a poster of the London 2012 logo, which we all signed congratulatory messages on. It was heaps fun. Especially getting to wear sport gear to work (but we had to change after that) and being in the presence of sporting stars and international press. It's an experience I'll probably never ever forget.

That said, I abhor the attacks on London today. Nothing to do with the Olympics but the attacks were senseless and cowardly. And very, very cruel.
