02 August 2012

A great day at the Olympics for GB. My faith was restored in British sportsmen last night when I heard Bradley Wickens being interviewed. He went on to say that Gold medals where the only ones that count in Olympic sport. I am always dismayed by the extent of celebrations surrounding Silver and Bronze medals. I heard one of the Chinese diving coaches being interviewed the other day too. He eluded to the fact that his diver didn't go to school and that he practised for 8 hours a day. The British coach went on to say how his diver trained for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the evening, enough said.

All the horses are well and it was another routine day for them all. My mother-in-law was knocked over by one of the kids ponies this morning and has spent most of the day in the JR hospital in Oxford, she is still there at 19.45, Sophie is with her and I'm worried about my supper!!!!
