Delighted Andy is going to get an Olympic medal. While channel hopping caught some of his match - and Fed's. Andy won in straight sets against Djokovic, easy. Fed lost one set, and third set went to 19-17... he's not in good form.
Enjoyed the late-nite handball Norway/Denmark - the handball court is one of the permanent buildings on the park. Hope handball catches on here.
The main Usain event is Sunday night, but there are heats today, in which he will be appearing, maybe this morning.
My feeling is that he's gone off the boil, and there are a lot of other people who want his medal. I'm wondering whether he's going to go the same way as Becky Adlington.
Interesting event today (besides the rowing) is women's triathlon around London.
Hi everyone. - I'm back. Had the day off yesterday to catch up on essentials. Shopping, getting ready for short hols, visiting daughter who is incapacitated due to broken bone and torn ligaments in foot walking her mad dog Henry ( formally known as Rocket - if you met him you would know why), did a bit of training on the playing field, I think We were more exhausted than the dog, then for the highlight of the day an Indian take-a-way. delish.
In between these chores, watched some great Lympics, getting a few tips from coaches on how to encourage our team. Love some of the outfits, don't know if we could cope with the tight shorts though, it makes your eyes water just to look at them! imagine how we would look in the track gear, now that would be worth seeing
Out this evening for another meal at Sister-in-laws, it's one long round of pleasure at the moment, can't be bad
I hope you've noticed the fancy nail varnish designs that are being adopted by many of the athletes in the more glamourous sports. There's a very busy nail varnish bar in the Lympic village. National flags are a popular design. Checkout these:

Triathlon just kicking off on Olympics4 (9am)
Watching all this sport is exhausting, I definitley think Crocks United will need a special painted nail design.
Hello everybody

To day I shall mostly be watching tv-no change there-whilsts doing...... well not much really
Might be time again for toe nail varnish
Kate - how are we going to garden with those nails ? I am having a rest today, cake and tele and maybe a bit of a potter outside.
Exhausted after yesterdays events . All the running round I did made me feel like I was part of the Olympics!
There seems to be a problem on the ground on the bike race - 3 have fell in the triathlon.
