Watching archery at the mo. I used to arch when I was at Grammar School - we shot in the air to see what would happen and narrowly missed the oldest nun who was tottering along the path where the arrows landed.
Speedy growth of weeds is getting me down. Looks as if I've never weeded, ever. Have decided to refurbish the small raised bed outside the front door - at least it will look as if I've achieved something this year.
Can someone explain to me how we had silver for gymnastics and then didn't? Well done to the gymnastics team anyway - fantastic! Heard them being interviewed on the radio this morning.
I'm glad they got that 'troll', I can't understand what makes people decide to be so unpleasant.
I watched that 15 year old girl (Lithuanian?) get a gold in swimming last night - and she was just speechless after, bless her. Then I saw the chinese girl swim (didn't see her the other day - wow, she's fast!)
Just looking through my pics and wishing the weather was better. I like this one of the patio taken earlier in the year and there's one for Jenny from our last visit to Scotland. I'm very envious of where she lives . It's beautiful - hoping to go back later in the year.
We wuz robbed. But because we're decent and sporting, we're not going to make a big fuss about it, apparently.
The Lithuanian girl was brilliant, from the same school as Tom Daley, as you'll have heard.
The Chinese girl - well - there seems to be a diplomatic storm brewing amid allegations that she seemed too good to be true (she actually swam faster than Phelps). There's a difference between being just ahead of the field, and a long way ahead.
Peter was the one who made a teeny tiny mistake and it cost them a medal. Poor thing. Its tough at the top.
I say scoan because I say stone, but OH says sconne - I think its a regional thing - I'm a southerner and he's a northerner, or tries to tell me he is.

Have just realised what the hockey pitch is made of. It's artificial grass (but blue).

Damp and grey here, I am off to the dentist
Jenny thanks for the recipe, I tried it with turmeric to make it orange but that gave the wrong flavour.
I actually felt sorry for Peter yesterday.
Scoans, and I'm always right too :- )

I am going on a bus
So is it the Stonne of Sconne-the Stoan of Scone or the Stoane Of Sconne ?
There will be a prize for the correct answer-or arnser
Who is Peter?
I'm going in my car which passed its MOT once it had a new exhaust.
Stoan of Scoon.
Could it be Waterfield who also didn't win a dive-bombing meddle?

And I wasn't intending to watch much of it!

Jean lovely photos
Flo gets a star, Peter is Toms diving partner who was completely ignored.
Geoff where are you going on a bus?
The reason why we were demoted from Silver seems to have been due to one of the Japanese competitors, who made a clumsy dismount from the pommel horse, and was duly marked down. The Japanese objected to the low score he was given and demanded a recount. The story is here:
