Adelaine is almost back

26 March 2008

Her name is Ng. Adelaine Ng.

For the last week Addy has been in Malaysia and Japan trying to have some holidays, but in reality probably looking after assorted nieces and going shopping for the family (she’s so amenable).

Her impending return brings to mind some of the great moments we have had together. Like the first time we did an outside broadcast. It was from the G-spot (Games-spot, folks) during the Commonwealth Games two years ago. We were surrounded by athletes from lots of different countries. Addy was given a roving microphone, and showed her remarkable skill in being able to interview an African athlete with her eyes closed:

The broadcast was a success though, in no small part to Addy coming to the rescue when the power cut out, and she had to try to get the audience involved by doing a dancing demonstration. It was pretty cool, and I just wish I had a photo of it all. But by the end we were pretty happy:

I don’t know who gave us the flowers, and I especially don’t know who positioned them so rudely.

See you tomorrow Adelaine.
