Quarter time huddle!

Hi,
Another incredible day in London. We are all so glad the first game is over and in the bag. Did you see us on the Telly?
Our Gliders supporters group had to storm down the entrance to get the seats behind the bench!
We have ten of us staying together in Bloomsbury, which includes three of Bridie's mates from the US, who have become honorary Aussies for the duration of the games!
Just commuting to the games is a major achievement!
As you can imagine, wearing our Gliders t-shirts around London draws attention. Last night, Leisa had great fun bragging about her sister who is "CAPTAIN" of the Australian Basketball Team, to anyone who would listen! Surprisingly, there are lots of friendly people who are keen to listen! It has been a great highlight chatting to lots of people from different countries. The sense of community is palpable.
We have now woken fairly refreshed today, ready to take on GB at 1pm. As they will have a huge support group we will need to be very vocal!
