Gold at last!!

Bemoaning the fact that we had no gold medals in the games, then two come along at once. one for the coxless women's pairs rowing this morning, and the other for bradley Wiggins for the time trial cycling this afternoon. Well done them. What a year it has been for Bradley Wiggins firstly winning the Tour De France, the first British man ever to win it, then an Olympic gold today. Good on him. Locakl northern boy too. Vin went off to get some shopping in this morning, he went to Sainsburys in the drizzle and rain, it's cleared up now actually, and he was back within the hour. A pretty nimble shopper he is. I of course stopped in as usual.Feels like being n prison :) Got my parcel this morning from QVC, I had ordered some new cotton bedding in Latte, to give us a bit of a change really, and that came this morning by the courier lady. Only trouble was that when I opened it up it was WHITE!! definitely not a colour we would have with two cats in the house! So had to ring them up and they put in place a refund and organised the collection of the parcel. Only problem was that the double in Latte had sold out so will have to wait again till something turns up. Pain in the neck. One of the troubles of ordering online! normally they are excellent though i do have to say, and there was no argument on the phone. I think Vin has gone out for a while because it's finally stopped raining. he really got grumpy last night. i was a bit restless and was moving my legs about in bed, and he said stop doing that, every time you do that it's like a bellows blowing cold air in the bed! That made me want to do it more then Haha. Got back to sleep again eventually, until a furry friend woke me up at some ungodly hour sitting on my hip. Jane rang up at lunchtime to say she was going in to work. it should be her day off, but they are doing double time again, so she was doing 11 to 4 then going into the town centre to do some shopping. She needs some clothes and a new bag for work and Uni. primark it is I think, nice and cheap. Tonight we are having: Escalope with a mushroom sauce, potato croquettes mixed veggies.

A friend pop around this evening after work and we watched the Olympic highlights that we had missed during the day :)) she made me laugh as she's busy telling them (on the TV) what they should have done!! especially the swimmers :)) all of a sudden we are all experts...
