There is little to report today as Dr Anne had to work her butt off for the first time.
After a leisurely forenoon Dr Anne met Libby at Hyde Park. The intention had been to go to Park Live but Libby was due to catch her train @ 1320 and Dr Anne was on duty at 1330. They eventually went for lemonade @ Henry's Cafe Bar. They decided that that would be their meeting place in the future.
Dr Anne headed for Stratford. There was the usual crowd of people behind the barrier when she arrived. One got ones orders from the most anal retentive of the crowd. Andrew was called to the Greenway Gate and disappeared and the rest left at 1400. This left Alex and Anne with the leader. There was much to do signing in, giving out stickers and badges, a lucky dip etc... This was the first bit of pressure of the fortnight. However, once it was over it was the sun cream rounds and the issue of batteries and incident reports.
Dr Anne's final task was to tidy the coffee making table, wipe the meal tables and sweep the floor. The last thing Dr Anne expected when she applied to volunteer at the Olympics was to sweep a car park. She does, however have the experience of sweeping the garage at home so no dust is left unturned. People are so untidy. There were bits of biscuits, crisps, bottle tops, sesame seeds from the sandwiches...................
Hope there is more exciting news tomorrow.
