Monday Monday ....

It seemed a bit calmer today somehow, though the office was humming most of the day. The problems seem to be lessening a bit, and we are getting into the swing of things. Carol had meetings again, but only in the morning as in the afternoon they all went to the other Centre where the Youth Games are being played, so she was back in the office with us and the "witches coven" was complete again :-)

The sun shone in Beijing today - it was what they call one of their "blue sky days" which I gather are few and far between because of the pollution ... the rain yesterday settled it down and the sun today really shone. Shame I couldn't get out in it really as it looked beautiful. 

By the way, on the Beijing information page I have put various links to the results, vu-graph and other blogs, so do go and have a look at them - and if you are doing a blog from the Championships, send me the link and I will add it.

Last night I went to a fabulous Indian restaurant with some friends, mainly from the Bridge Press ... we all ate far too much but it was delicious. Quite a long taxi right to "downtown Beijing" but at least we could see something of the city by night and that was good. And we were lucky to find a taxi on the way back with a driver who actually knew where our hotel was - it was built for the Olympic Games and very few of them can find it !! We know people who have been in taxis for over an hour as they try to get here on a trip that should take about 10 minutes :-) 

So - now it is the end of a long day so I will once again call a halt ... more tomorrow !
