I know I shouldn't be hijacking the blog, but this came yesterday and I wanted to share it:
Sorry about it being in French! It is the official invitation to be a "National Technical Official" (read "Steward") for para-dressage at the Paralympic Games in Paris. Well, the equestrian events actually will be held, like the Olympics, in the park of the Château de Versailles. To be honest, the conditions are far from great. I suppose we will all be doing it for the glory, and the fun! Mr. G will be on duty from August 29 to September 8.
Congratulations on your invitation. I did read most of the letter and was very surprised at how far my schooldays French got me. It will be nice to meet up with familiar faces and new ones too.
ReplyDeleteHuge congrats #1!!! You have worked so hard and glory and fun are due to you! (albeit the conditions you will have to put up with). And Versailles...ooh-la-la).
ReplyDeletecongratulations on this invitation and you are right, for the glory..
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor to be chosen. Can't wait to hear all about this when the time comes. Plenty of time to think of all that will be going on!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! We loved seeing your Tokyo reports and now can't wait to see your reports from this summer's Olympics too.
ReplyDeleteAs 'they' say - en Francais - INCROYABLE!

ReplyDeleteQuite an honor ! Congratulations !
ReplyDeleteThat is super cool and wonderful, congratulations from all of us!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, that is quite the honor. You will have to let us know if we will be able to see you on TV. Mom enjoyed testing her aging knowledge of French to translate the invitation. She didn't do "pas mal".
