So, that is what my weekend was like.. hectic and not much food (lots of Krispy Cream donuts and Lucozade - that's what the press was munching at the O2).
Few thousand photos edited, one very bad migrane.
The glorious life of a Sports Photographer - but as with all the jobs, you only do it if it is something you enjoy! And I would not have changed a single thing from last weekend (maybe the migrane I could have done without).
Now - if you excuse me, I think I might have deserved an hour or two of sleep.
Tomorrow it is still more editing images - and another football match to attend in the evening!
