Tuesday

Hi, it's Miriam.
Did you see Usain Bolt's 200m heat this morning? The boy with a very smug smile on his face guarding Usain's box was George Hoy from my History class. You see the black hat that Bolt was wearing as the athletes warmed up? He gave that hat to George.

In other news, I saw the Brownlee brothers in triathlon action ( triaction?) this morning in Hyde Park, and David is at the gymnastics.

Tuesday 14th

George has become something of a celebrity thanks to this encounter.

He also appeared on Channel 5 News, BBC London News (accoriding to his Facebook statuses anyway) and there was a picture of him to today's Times.

And to think, this boy would know nothing about the Knight of the Long Knives if it wasn't for me.
