Woo!!!!!!!!!

I had a reply from James Hickman, the swimmer!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know I mentioned him and his likeness to a happy puppy? Well, I e-mailed him and asked why there aren't more pictures of him looking like a happy puppy on his website. And he replied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I've just used up my yearly quota of exclamation marks.
:-D

This is what he said:

Hi Helen,
Thanks for the e-mail, I don't think you're weird at all, in actual fact I get much weirder e-mails.
The games were the most enjoyable games I've been to, the crowd were fantastic, it was so cool to know that this time the crowd
really were shouting for me the Manchester/England boy! The only thing that would have put the icing on the cake would have been a
gold medal and I wish I'd been able to win one.
After the games I went away for a break, needed to recuperate after all that excitement, hence the delay in replying. I'm back into
training now and I have got the British National Championships in Cambridge on the 12-15th of Sept so I need to get fit form them.
I hope your summer was fun.
All the best
James Hickman

Wow, he doesn't think I'm weird. Which is good, because I did say, "I'm afraid to say I've likened you to a happy puppy" in my original e-mail.

Yaaay!
