Some medals seem to have a bigger emotional impact than than others. I felt Katherine Granger's (am ignoring her parner) was one of the most moving. The greeting she got from Redgrave was something else.
Must congratulate the groundsman at the Lympic arena. Did I hear someone say that that grass has been laid within the past few days.
If we all club together we could buy Portsmouth FC and rename it Gardeners United. The pitch will be immaculate, the dugout will be a water feature and the goals will have a variety of climbing plants
Ironically one of Portsmouth FC's sponsors is- or was -Jobsite a recruiting company
There was something on the grass this morning Gary-all the work of transferring the arena but into what we can see now took was done in the last week working 24/7 and -the track was covered with a plastic removable coating -so yes grass was laid in the last few days

Fo those at toil-
Rowing bronze for chaps
A good chance coming shortly for girls rowing
Flo -those are just my style-do they do them in 9 and a half?
Dan -will leave the finance up to you-but will not accept- failure -no pressure
If that doesn't work sotongeoff I'll try and sell off Fratton Park on eBay for development. What do you think?
(Praying you're a Saints fan)
For the toilers
Update-golden meddle for the girls rowing.
Dan-fan-is stretching it a bit-follower is more accurate-Kate is the footy guru
Portsmouth are a week away from oblivion
(should I be smiling?
)

Bronze meddle for a chap rowing
That is three meddles this morning and Jessica Innes is leading the heptathlon after the first event
Going to try my first home grown tomato as cheese on toast to celebrate
I'm exhausted after that morning's rowing.

Could rename it too. Tatton Park has a nice ring to it.
Geoff, 9.5 no probs.
Gary, thanks for all your efforts at rowing. I missed it all - you probably noticed you were stroking on your own.
I expect groundsman borrowed teams of people with Chelsea show garden experience, they're used to producing things at record speed.
