Frustration - 365+1

The Olympics are the ideal place to find frustration!  I only switched on this afternoon and watched a few minutes of the gymnastics to find poor Victoria Komova make a basic error on the uneven bars.  Her face says it all!

Well done to Beth Tweddle on her bronze medal!

Happiness - 365+1

Super Saturday was all about Team GB getting Gold Medals,  the one that gave me most happiness was to see Jessica Ennis win the Women's Heptathlon, what an amazing athlete to excel at so many sports.

I've just seen Andy Murray win the Gold for the Men's singles and am thrilled for him too, but there was something about the stadium last night that was really magic.

Angry - 365+1

Sherwood Studios - Thrift
It was a warm day today, but by 2pm the clouds were gathering and we had some dramatic thunder and lightning, followed by torrential rain.  We had just been out for a walk with my son & dil's labrador, so were lucky we got back in time.  We were dog sitting as they had gone to the local agricultural show, I got a phone call at tea time to say they had got soaked and were drying off at dil's parents house, could we feed the dog as well.


As I know that Anne, in particular, is partial to a dog or two, here are some pics of Muffin on our walk.

More Olympic photographs.  I love watching the swimming and Claire Balding has been brilliant as the anchor for BBC poolside.  I saw the women's backstroke and they were pointing their hands, grabbed the camera and manged to catch a few shots.
