It was an exciting day today, because I was
expecting a new member to join the team.
His name’s Mike and he was transferred from the Rowing Village at
Egham. It was really nice to show him around the Village and hear the comparisons with
Egham. I’m really grateful to the NOC
Assistants team for arranging this, because it was only me in that morning, because I was a
non-driver.
No sooner had I finished the
tour, and we’d had lunch, than I had another phone-call. I wasn’t expecting this, but a Francesco had
also been brought in from Egham to help us out.
I felt like Christmas had come early!
I’m so glad and grateful, because I was getting really worried about us
being just four in the team, not so much for myself but for the drivers in the
group being overworked. The Venezuelans
do like their ‘chauffeurs’!
Before long, Mike was sent on
his first errand to Hyde Park. Not being
a driver, it was difficult to help, but I’m glad the Venezuelans are happy that
we have a full team again. Tomorrow’s my
day off, and I’m glad for it, but I’m happier that I can come back on Wednesday
knowing that all is well in that respect, and that I won’t have to feel guilty
about my day off!
