A bit of news !

Wellie Boot Throwing.

Do we have any takers for this one.

Also Haggis Hurling

Bobby, Tom, Andy and I have all enetered for this one

Better get some practice in tonight.

Hello All.

Stephen put me down for anything, I am a game old bird.

Rita, are you on Warfarin. I had to take that for 6 months. Remember the little tablets, sometimes cutting them in two, to get just the right dose. Some brown, some blue, some red. Then the blood count every week. My, my I was like a pin cushion. By the time one bruise had gone, I had another. Just on an aspirin a day now. For the rest of my life, daunting thought, but hey ho, you do what you have to do.

The Opening Ceremony has begun. Wonderful music and colours.

There are dancers representing all types of Indian culture. The costumes are really impressive. The 'Peacocks' are terrific. The sand painting is something else. How can these men with just a flick of their fingers, make such intricate pictures. Amazing.

I don't mind having a go at the wellie throwing, so long as they are old odd ones. Went for a walk round the lake this afternoon with a friend and 2 of her children, boy did I need my new wellies so I won't be throwing them.

Linda :o) XxX

Ooh Ooh look at the fireworks, they are lighting the skies up.
There old Charlie boy and horse face up there, coooee Chas it's us the GR team.
Cor the noise from those drums is deafening.

Linda glad you found the list I was scrolling down and could not find it went crossed eyed looking.

I am quite good at tiddle winks . and Trival Pursiut. also snakes and ladders but no good at wellie throwing . I tried that once in Norfolk and caused the biggest laughter ever.
Anyway I dont wear wellies.
. I watched the opening of the games.I thought it was someones birthday when the frieworks went off.

Maddie I am on Warfarin for the rest of my life . at the moment I take one blue and two brown everyday..

I will be going to bed with the games on my mind tonight all tensed up ready to go and do my stuff.

Rita

Hi Rita, I hope you didn't think I was prying. You all seem to know each other so well, and I am very new on this thread. They had trouble stablising me on the Warfarin, and there was a point in my treatment I was going to the clinic everyday. My thin, too thick, too this, too that. When they got a good viscosity I was fine. I had a lovely little Malayan nurse who took my blood through a butterfly line. The needle was very small. One nurse took it through what seemed to be a rusty nail. lol

I think the Opening of the Games was spectacular. Very colourful indeed.

Lots of beauty sleep tonight for us ladies, we want to WOW them tomorrow.

Apparently it is raining in London. So very pleased we are not there.
lol

Well the wellie throwing ciontest is finished.

Not sure if I won a medal or not.......................... I couldn't see as there was so much muck came out of the boot when it flipped upside down and then covered me with what can only be described as muck !!!!!

Good luck everyone else in todays events.

We have had some power problems locally for a long time now, some houses constantly tripping their cicuits. Well it was decided that yesterday would be the one to turn off all our electric from 1:30 until 5:30 !!! Great for those cooking a Sunday roast. I'd eaten as hubby left for work at 1:00. My problem was that the emergency back up on our alarm decided to ring on battery power for the whole time it was off. As the box is near the roofline I couldn't get to it to remove said batterry !!! So a quiet Sunday was ruined.

There is still a big hole down the road, so I am expecting it to go off again while they finish the repair.

Have a good day all

Linda :o) XxX

morning everyon e.

Linda that must have been a nightmare no electric. I had that when I first came to live in this flat when I needed to buy a new cooker I brought gas. that way I did not get caught out as I have a microwave as well.
but people can not always do that.


Maddie my Warfarin goes up and down it was really bad a few weeks back. so bad that the hospital phoned to tell me
to stop then for a day and they reduce for the next few days they made an appointment for me to get another test done my reading should have been 2.05 it was 4.05.


well The day is the day for medals even if they are gonks (plastic ones )
so dont forget do your best if you dont win at least you have tried your best. so Banner in the wind off we go.

Rita

Morning all.

Been for a run and it is warm already. A bit of rain too, hope we are not going into the Monsoon season. That would be fun. All glammed up, then caught in a downpour.

Hope we are all well, and had a good nights sleep, we are going to need it, if we are to kick butt today.

Good luck Rita, I'm sure you're blood count will be fine. Just a little adjustment makes all the difference.

GOOD LUCK TEAM GB. WE MAY NEED IT.

See you all later.

Morning everyone, good luck for today.

Thanks for finding the list Linda, I didn't know what page it was on. Now we can all see what we're supposed to be doing.

Looks like Shelly and Rita are up first in the gymnastics, and then the relay.

Where's my partner for the 3-legged race? Come on Marilyn I need you.

Shelly, you've got egg & spoon today as well, oh and sprint.

Maddie's got skipping, sack race and 3-legged race this morning.

Stephen's got high diving, egg & spoon and relay.

Conkers and mud wrestling for Mo.

Linda's already done her welly tossing but she's still got weight lifting to do this morning.

Marilyn's already got 2 medals but she's got the relay, the sprint and the 3-legged race to do this morning.

I think Yvonne must be riding around on her horse somewhere.



Edit: I dropped out of the badminton because I didn't have a partner. Gabby White took my place, she found a partner and they seem to be doing OK.

I got a medal in the archery though, Linda got one as well.
