SAY SO

It's spooky on the tube, continually looking out for strange people leaving bombs at the doors as they get off.

Stefan & Zeudi never got to Bournemouth. The delay in Montecarlo didn't leave them enough time to get to airport and to get their dance clothes from Bassano. Stefan came to London by himself on Friday night & stayed for the weekend. On Saturday he discovered that the bombs had persuaded Ryan Air to offer change-of-flight without the penalty, so they could have come in fact, on a later plane. On that basis there was an attempt to get Zeudi to London on Saturday morning with the intention of dancing Latin at Bournemouth, but by then she had other arrangements.

On the first day of the British Gym Champs [the overall result based on all 4 pieces] Alice came 11th and on Beam 5th. The big surprise came on the second day, the individual pieces. She qualified for Beam only and came 2nd [the winner was the overall winner Olympian Beth Tweddle]. Alice arrived on Monday - for lunch - with a very big medal in her hand.

I'm leaving London tomorrow, arriving Saturday morning [NZ time] so will probably be internet silent for a few days.
