todayiamadaisyThings that I am Officially Over:
1. People (and by people, I mean people in my office) complaining about the cold and/or rain.
2. The Delhi Commonwealth Games village.
Re: item 2, this has happened at every single Olympic or Commonwealth Games I can remember. I don't pay much attention to sporting events but I still know this. There is always a kerfuffle about venues not being ready and tickets not being sold and and workers slapping on a last coat of paint just minutes before the opening ceremony. Then things get started and run more or less the way they're meant to. Just take a deep breath, media people, it will all be fine. Unless you're standing under one of the ceilings that falls down.
(For f-listers who do not live in the various corners of the British Commonwealth: the Commonwealth Games are a four-yearly concern, much like the Olympics but with lawn bowls and netball. This year they will be held in India, rather shortly if the suddenly increased media attention is anything to go by. The only other thing of interest I can tell you about the Commonwealth Games is that they were held in Australia when I was in primary school and the opening ceremony was particularly memorable because it featured a giant winking kangaroo. Oh, look! Here is a photo of her in action. That's a defining image of my childhood right there.)
