Good Lord!

Wow! Britain's number three in the medal table! *boggles* that's a first! ... It won't last, but sheesh it's nice! Of course it helps that we stopped concentrating on track and field and started to enter all the sports that no-one else does. "extrememe snail wrestling" and "pogo sticks on tar" and the like.

:)

I have to applaud the amazing AMAZING run by the Jamaican guy in the 100 metres. Just wow. And I see your Phelps and raise you a Rebecca Adlington!

Just off to Dad's for the day. iulia_linnea - I have started your story. No Lucius this morning, looks like he's off again. *heavy sigh* I don't mind so much as I'm pretty used to it now, but it upsets the balance AGAIN, Sevvie is all solicitude for me as if to say "don't worry mum, I still love you"

Back later!

Usain Bolt is fabulous... And i'm sure he's planning to break another couple world records - because the 100m race showed he was SLOWING down on the last 30 metres. Amazing.

Wasn't it amazing? I wish he'd raced to the line, I feel sure he might have broken the nine second barrier.

I'm very annoyed with our local supermarket. I looked down all the aisles but could I find a Chris Hoy there or one of those yummy rowers? Pfft!

I've overdosed on the Olympics - I just love it all. And then there'll be the paralympics....

I didn't mean to get sucked in but it's very addictive, specially when we are doing so well.

The women rowers annoyed me this morning, i missed the race and just saw them all crying and being depressed and I thought - eek we must have come 4th - and they came second! Silly girls!

I think for some of them it was the fact that it was only silver 4 years ago as well.

I loved the double scullers. And did you see the blonde guy in the four yesterday telling his fellow rower 'I love you' at the end of the race? So sweet.

Excellent medal news! It may be bad form, but I cheer for everyone, regardless of country. ;)

I'm thrilled to know that you've begun writing "my" fic! *dances*

And I'm sorry that Lucius has taken himself off, but at least there is another cat person out there who loves him.
