Somebody at work just sent round an excited email saying "LONDON 2012 - It's coming home!!!!"
Nice sentiment, so I felt a bit of a Scrooge by pointing out that, er, well, actually the Olympics didn't originate in London. But never mind.

I think I'm in shock. The world seems to have gone all fuzzy.
For the first time since leaving the UK, I want to be back there, in Trafalger Square, celebrating. A friend just emailed me telling me the Red Arrows flew over their office.
V jealous.
YAY LONDON!!!!!!!!

Hooooooorah! Fabulous news and a great day to be an English girl in Paris! I'm amazed by the decision, but think it'll be proved to be the right one. Well done London! Let the building commence...

Must pick a sport and get in training.

Made my day and it was only 6.50am. Am very proud to be a Londoner abroad today.

Excellent!
I was in Mile End at the time, you could hear car horns just after the announcement. Can't have been the locals though, apathy is still alive and well a mile west of Stratford.

Excellent news! Am very pleased by this. It'll be an Olympics to remember.

It's bizarre: 6 months ago I wasn’t at all fussed. Had there been a car sticker available which read "Not Particularly Backing The Bid" I might have even bought one. And yet, today at lunchtime I found myself punching the air and jumping up and down. I’m so fickle.

Excellent!
I can now remove my lucky 'UK underwear' as it's a couple of days old.
(I do have a change)

Perhaps we'll have some more gold medalists ready by then as well as a lot of new buildings.

I've seen the French TV footage of the announcement.
You could hear the gasps of horror across the Channel.
Quite, quite excellent it was too.

Sacre bleu! Quelle horreur s'est passé en Singapore? Les rosbifs, ils ont volé nos jeux olympiques! Merde.
(Secretly, I'm quite pleased and a bit proud, but I really thought Paris deserved to win.)
