First time we've had both kids asleep so we actually got to pay undivided attention to it.

La Piba and I both had goose bumps, I reckon the crowd put an extra bit of fuel in all their tanks, legendary stuff that I'm sure young kids will have wonderful glowing memory of it like I did of ovett, Coe, wells and Daley Thompson back in the day.

Fantastic night of athletics last night!


Fair play Andy Murray, I've never been his biggest fan, so I'm not going to suddenly do a u turn, but he was impressive. He also seemed so much more relaxed, probably because the spotlight isn't totally on him as it is with Wimbledon.


Hope he and Laura win the doubles later.

Also because the Olympics isn't the pinnale of the tennis calendar, unlike most other sports at the Olympics. So I guess he doesn't get as worked up as he usually does.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By eb949013 · Posted

      It's a lovely journey via train, particularly with older children. Another vote for man in Seat 61 as the best source of info!

      Hi there I am an experienced cat/dog/house sitter. If you are going away this summer and would be to know your house and animals are being taken care of well don’t stress I can help. I have experience across a range of breeds, rescued more animals than I can count and I am a qualified vet nurse.  Please get in touch with dates and location and hopefully I won’t be booked up. Happy to negotiate a good rate.    Contactable references available, current DBS available.    Many thanks  Trace

      What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
