Sunday 5 August
Coffee, cake and a good book...
Monday 6 August
This was the colour of the sky when I went out this afternoon. By the time I was on my way home - walking, of course - it was pouring down. I was wearing my raincoat, but my jeans were still soaking wet after a 5-minute journey in the rain :).
Tuesday 7 August
Taking advantage of the fact that Daisy's away till Friday, I went for a run this morning, my first road run in about 4 years and first real exercise in 18 months. I then went into London to sort out my wedding ring and ran a couple of errands on the way home. I also stopped at Stotfold, home town of gold medal-winning cyclist Victoria Pendleton, to see the post box that Royal Mail has painted gold in her honour. A lady came to post a letter as I was taking a photo of the box, and offered to take my picture. She even gave me her letter to post :).
Wednesday 8 August
Didn't take any photos today, so here's one from tomorrow - arriving at the Olympic Park. In front of me was a man who looked and walked a lot like Michael Winner, and when I got in front of him, turns out it was Michael Winner ;).
Thursday 9 August
We had tickets to the 'morning' session at the Olympic Stadium, although it actually went on till 4pm. After 1pm there was just the Pole Vault for the Decathlon to watch, and quite a few people left early, but we got our money's worth and stayed for the whole session. I loved being at the Olympic Park, and now regret having sold back the other tickets we got in the ballot for the beach volleyball at Horseguards' Parade. Oh well, at least we can say we were there for one of the days.
Friday 10 August
Jen and I spent some time this afternoon putting together a trampoline that Clare had bought Daisy for her birthday. When Daisy got home she was grumpy as she'd been asleep in the car and it took her a while to wake up, but once she saw the trampoline she cheered up immediately. Thanks Clare!
