Evening!
Exercise bike and a walk completed.
Re Olympics, yes, I'm up for it, and like Tom, athletics and triathlon, with a smattering of other events thrown in, like the rowing, swimming and so on. I'm quite a big hockey fan and have two lots of tickets: daughter has a friend in the GB team from when they both played at county level, and the women's captain is the daughter of one of my friends (unfortunately no tickets from those sources as for most event competitors are only allowed two for families and friends, which I thought was rather stingy. I'm also with Tom re men's football, and I would add tennis to that, too. The only thing I would say, though, is that my little 7 year old neighbour tells me he had a fantastic time at the footie last night: it looks like it was a far friendly atmposphere than the hostile environment of watching a premiership game. In this respect the Olympics can set a good example to other aspects of the game.
I also find it very difficult to watch cycling these days without a degree of concern as to how clean the sport is. I know this probably applies to other sports, sadly, but there have been too many high profile problems that have tarnished that particular sport, for me.
Paddy: wasn't quite sure why you asked about woodchip! Its Supaglypta (one up from Anaglypta) and I suspect tis holding the house together!
