Always believe in your soul

Ohuruogo gets Gold (Image, Daily Telegraph)

As I prepare pack I’ve been watching the Olympics.  It’s always one of my favourite fortnights… I love the passion and the prowess, watching the years of hard work come through for people.

The UK has had a rougher ride at previous games, doing not so bad in Athens in ‘04, but now?  To be 3rd in the medal table seems laughable.  It’s amazing.  Tears and laughter, talk of hope, of pride, of relief.  This morning another gold in the sailing from a pair of men who’ve been best friends for 25 years.  Their tears (and genius accidental swearing in the post-gold interview) were the sweetest yet.

I may be moving, but I’ll always be British, and I plan on being right here in London for the 2012 games.  Yay Team GB!

    Hi Jude. I just want to wish you all the best of luck with your move! I read your blog occasionally and you always make me laugh and inspire me. Also big up to Last Orders :) You’re making a massive change to your life and it must be scary but I think it’s fabulous. This is like, the next chapter and all that.
    I’ll continue to spy on your ponderings.
