    Great match - thought Rafa was going to edge it after that game to draw level again. Shame for anyone  to lose. Should be a good final. Not sure I can watch even if I get home in time! 

    I see KJT is still looking good for a medal in the Heptathlon. If only there was a way for me to figure out the numbers Dove?.... image image

    Best match of the tournament IMO - need to lie down now.

    Wanted Rafa to win but can't help but be pleased for del Potro. image

    Maybe someone cleverer than us will explain it to us girls very simply Fairy ... goodness knows how I managed to understand it when my son was competing for the county ... it's all so complicated image image

    I can manage to get up to ten - twenty if I take off my socks, Dove - but I'm totally lost after that ...image image

    Smashing match T'bird. image

    Just watching the girls get their gold medal in the cycling. Doesn't it give you a real lift? Those smiles say it all.  Great sport is simply  wonderful  image

    I'd better go to bed - up sharp so that I can get back home and do something constructive...

    Or just watch more 'lympics image

    I can manage 40 Fairy, 'cos I can borrow OH's fingers and toes - but thank goodness that although he lived there he wasn't born in Lincolnshire, otherwise he'd have webbed feet and I'd get in a terrible muddle image

    I keep meaning to say that I bought a pair of these about a month ago http://www.worldofwolf.co.uk/products/comfort-grass-shears--rill.html and they're rapidly becoming my favourite tool - I can trim the grass around the back of the pond so easily now, and loads of other jobs - they're very versatile!  image

    Hello Pdoc image

    Is anyone getting up with me to watch Mo Farah at 1:20 ? I've set my alarm. I need a couple of hours sleep first ...

    Very tempted to not go to bed at all.

    I have pressure sores from the amount I have watched in the last 2 days.

    Loving it, but could of course give some useful tips, on how some of our athletes could improve.

    I'll be here Dove .....but like Pdoc, I won't bother going to bed first ....there's javelin and long jump to keep me entertained in the meantime.

    But don't expect me on here any time tomorrow morning ???
