Yours truly

So I was asked to blog again, YES, for the second time running. *ahem* I was the official blogger last year and was invited to be part of this wonderful event..

Teams:
(1) If you see me, don't run away - I don't bite
(2) I'll be with you during the whole competition, yes... even at 4am..
(3) Note-worthy comments / insights / fainting spells / gossip etc all very much welcome
(4) If I'm on my 15th cup of coffee and 3rd piece of cake. Don't tell anyone...

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
