THREE YEARS? But I need the traditional 4 to prepare. I won't be match fit. |

Yeah, I agree with all of that, I think. I also just enjoyed the excellence of the winners - even Italy pipping GB at the end for the 4x100m was just "wow, look at that!" for me, rather than a disappointment. Though, a bit like the Euros, where I wanted the players to win but not the country, I'd have liked those athletes to get gold - it can redeem a whole career that is brutally tough, as with Campbell and Lawrence-Francis in 2004. Wish I'd seen Kenny live this morning (?) but the replay is still spectacular. |

The men's marathon. Bermuda's first gold, were the mains that spring to mind. |

I really enjoyed these Olympics. Now for the para. I am sure the next 3 years will fly by. |

Yep. More grist to the mill for the "they're all at it!" line. Pity. |

Currently in the Friday Pub. Shot of the week last time I was in was 22-21-22: Disaronno, Kahula, and Butterscotch. Today, the 21 has been crossed out and replaced with 17. |

Well, I'll now have "Kahula, Bahamas, Come on Pretty Mama" running round my head for some time. I hope you're happy. |

I have just learned that Charlotte Worthington is the daughter of our gardener, When I say 'our gardener' I don't mean he's exclusively employed by us, but owns the company wot does a bit of garden maintenance for us. I had no idea of the connection until he texted us to ask us to vote for her in the National Lottery Olympian of the Year. |

Bagged Category B tickets for the 100m finals night, but no luck on the other events. Going to try again on the 8th for Rugby 7s tickets. |
