Hi all,

Well, the time leading up to the London Olympics has seemed a little fraught in some ways.

Now we have made it to the opening day though I am really looking forward to it. I hope everyone here is.

I've been getting in the mood for it by traveling into town each day, and really soaking up the great atmosphere.

I went and saw the torch in Hillingdon in Outer London. Then at Wembley Stadium, and then again yesterday at Holland Park. Each ...

This time round something happened though, someone walked out into the road, and into the side of her car.
