Yesterday it was the turn of Cancellara.

Nice touch and he was looking well!

Hi, Rusty!
We are home again from our walk - and I am watching the earlier recording that I made of the Athletics.
There are a lot of false starts/ faulty starts with not always a clear distinction between the two. Especially in the women's races.
It is upsetting Denise!
Our rain has died away, and the sun is glimmering now.
I hope the weather improves for you, too, and that you and Miss L-B get out for your bacon rolls!
A funny business about Frankie Fredericks.
I think the payment was from Papa Diack?
But perhaps the fact that Frankie came forward means that it is not as suspicious as might be supposed?
Let us hope so.
That is a nice touch , naming parts of the cycling course after the great racers.
I like that!
Good for Cancellera.
Are you supporting Peter Sagan today?
Right.....back to the Athletics........

Good afternoon, Elle!
Weather improving here too.
I was at Pine Cone with La Bamba and Miss O.
We had a smashing time!
Fingers crossed Frankie's payment was legitimate, but these Olympic committees are notorious for corruption.
Same as FIFA.
Pete Sagan abandoned today.
He was ill during the race.
A Team Sky rider won.
Not a favourite team of mine!
I'm looking forward to see the athletics.
Hope Laura can win!

I have never watched so much TV all at once!
Have you checked in on the Osprey nest ?
I looked in the other day, and there was a man up a tree being asked if he were "stuck"!

Hello, Elle!

I find television watching quite tiring.
Goodness knows how some folk watch for hours on end.

They are great company!

Hey, Rusty!
Wow!
Well done, Laura!
A gold medal in the 1500m - and breaking Kelly Holmes' British record to boot!
And she insisted on doing a lap of honour, bearing our flag, despite the misery guts of an official who tried to prevent her from doing it.
Good for her!
Let us hope she makes it a double with the 3000m tomorrow!!
Yes, you did tell me about a man setting up new cameras on the osprey site - but I was just amused by the guy being if he were "stuck" up there!

I am having a great time!

i know people who watch TV every single evening for hours on end.
Must have some stamina!
No more for me tonight!

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, it was good day of sport.
