There now - gold medal and only the second day. I think the weather helped. Thunderstorms, torrential rain; well, the Brits are used to that, and the Welsh certainly are. Congratulations to Nicole Cooke, who not only won gold but won our 200th Olympic medal. It was great to see her crossing the line going 'Yeeeees'. She was fifth in Athens but had better team mates this time who helped keep her up in the front so she could sprint up the hill at the end.

Sadly, the women archers lost out to the French for the bronze in team archery. The rowing was called off because of the weather.

At home, the cricket is underway again and Harmy has taken a couple of wickets this morning but it's anybody's guess who'll win this. Football to watch this afternoon so I'm spoilt for choice. And Flintoff just got Ashwell Prince so they are now effectively 39 for 5.

I have had a domestic morning scrubbing oven shelves and grill pans, so my fingers are sore, but my hands are lovely and clean.

Right, off to make Yorkshire puddings and peel veg now.
