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.

      Not fair on the patients or the consultants, either.

      Fireworks

      By Azalea · Posted

      These very anti social fireworks went on for at least fifteen years and were unbearable for both humans and pets.    Was extremely relieved that they moved a couple of years ago.  Never experienced such close proximity loud fireworks before.   But the ones that go off in the middle of the night are also very upsetting and annoying.

      Not they've gone. Everything has been ripped out. No sign of anyone new yet.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      The frequency of fireworks seems to be increasing. If revellers selected the low noise variety that would help, but the trend seems to be the louder the better. I do not think sensitivity to stimuli is the same as timidity. Unexpected, extremely loud bangs and unusual noises will startle most of us. Humans, unlike other animals, have the luxury of knowing what fireworks are and what the noise represents. Some animals do learn to cope but many do not. It could be their hearing is not as sensitive. We should not forget that many animals, including cats and dogs have hearing that is much more developed than ours.
