Pressure mounting - more Golds and bronzes for Team GB

Certainly in need of my bed tonight after yet another busy day at the Olympics,  what a day, spearheaded by the lovely duo, Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger in their wee boat, and (Queen )Victoria Pendelton on her bike - just to prove that she was robbed yesterday.
Brilliant race by the men's pursuit team who broke the World record on their way to gold again.
Really far too much choice and I was jumping back and forth all day,  well done Andy Murry, into the tennis finals,  and tonight the Ethiopian 10,000m runner, Dibaba - a totally class act.
Highlight of the day on the studio couch were Prince's William and Harry, who have been zooming around the various stadiums trying to be in two places at once, certainly impressed with Granny's parachute jump last week!!!
Rebecca Adlington did her best in the 800m to get a Bronze in her attempt to with a third gold in this event -well done.
Saturday -  Jennifer Ennis - will hopefully have another full house of 80,000 to cheer her on to the Gold - no pressure.

On the home front I heard from two of my fellow inmates in Ward 24 who are both doing well, despite the ministrations of their families - and I even had a surprise visitor, dropped (Dave) who popped in to make sure my blogging fingers were Ok.
