Day 2

Phew.  Silver.  Well after the disappointment of yesterday that medal was very welcome.  And what an exciting finish!  I had a knot in my stomach during the last kilometre.  I was sure she'd get the gold because she had the advantage of surprise.  But we honestly couldn't have asked any more of her I think.

Added to that Lewis won the Hungarian Grand Prix (not that I was watching s i was glued to the cycling.  And Rebecca Adlington has qualified for the 400m final (albeit in 8th).  But the 800 is her speciality.  Now watching the women's synchronised diving.

Oh and well done Team GB men's gymnasts on qualifying for the final too.

Went to Tatton last night for the Halle Fireworks thing with the lovely Jane and the lovely Bill.  Music and fireworks were sublime as ever (for the most part) but the skies emptied soon after we arrived and we got really wet.  And then we got really cold which took the shine off a little bit.  We are used to rotten weather but not quite as bad as it was last night.

Never mind though - SILVER MEDAL.  Yay.  J x
