Day 6 of the Olympics and the garden (again)

Today's was a mixed day at the Olympics. I managed to miss watching every single successful athlete on the British side. Like the canoe slalom gold and silver (see photo!), then Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny and Philip Hindes in the velodrome,finally the double trap gold by Peter Wilson, but in spite of this I was very happy and proud to note these fantastic achievements.

The main reason why I missed the above successes was that I happened to concentrate on exciting, but not so successful bouts by a variety of British and Hungarian athletes, including Gemma Gibbons just missing out on gold in judo, Abigail Joo not making it to bronze in judo and the lightweight fours in rowing losing the gold to South Africa by some thousands of a second. They were all fascinating, exciting and worth watching, but I was getting quite down until I heard of the good news as well. Natuarally Laszlo Cseh getting a bronze behind Phelps and Lochte in the 200m individual medley in swimming also counted as a great success and I watched that from start to finish.

After all that TV and internet watching I went to pay some attention to the garden and took some lovely photos again. We managed to grow some amazing tomatoes right from seed, I harvested the last of the plums, the grapes are looking great, so is Roy's cefre and the roses are as magnificent as ever.
