Turned up for today’s athletics
meet fully expecting to assist with officiating again but the first event set
the tone for the day when eight of us convened at the long jump pit, overkill
at the best of times, but with only one athlete competing it was in danger of
becoming embarrassing, so I left them to it with a promise to return for our
next event; this, the javelin, had more competitors but they were still
outnumbered by judges, leaving me again surplus to requirements, so I decided
to call it a day and settled into my canvas camping chair for the rest of the
meeting, dividing my time between spectating and making serious inroads into the
Harry Hole thriller on the kindle.
