The Daily Mail are just annoyed we didn't apologise for any remotely socialist part of Britain and that we didn't white wash the entire ceremony. They can go suck on a lemon.

Anyway I went to the Olympic Park today to watch the Hockey and go up the Orbit. The Olympic Park is HUGE! It takes a good amount of time to walk around the whole thing. We really built something nice there and I really hope they maintain what they can of it. A permeant sporting village. The Hockey area is clearly temporary, but the velodrome, the swimming pool, the stadium and maybe the basketball arena can all stay. We should really try hard to find a way to keep it's status after the games because it's too nice an area to throw it away.

The security is effective but strict. The army are do a fantastic job from what I have seen yesterday at Wimbledon and today at the Olympic Park. We're moving though security fast but it's airport level security (x-rays for bags/coats, metal detectors and sometimes the pat down).
