Don't cut holes in that sack MTG, I need it for the sack race.

I can walk on stilts, dad made some for me when I was 10, I'll check the shed - they might still be there.

Ohhh I nearly forgot, I'm a crack shot with a rifle ................if winning a coconut at the fair counts.

So.........

My team event is the 3-legged race - it needs teamwork.

Then I'm straight over to the rifle range..........where I'm sure to win a gold (gold painted coconut)

And I've got a good chance of a gold in the stilt race as well...............because I'll be the only one with stilts.

I like hula hoop as well Mo, so I'll enter that event with you.

Don't think I'll have the energy for the sack race now, so it's OK to cut holes in it if you want MTG.

I'm not doing the mud wrestling Rita, I get enough of that when I'm working in the garden.


Edit: We're having a hail storm, it's gone really black.

Oh I play badminton, got over 30 years of experience, still got all the gear as well.

No good at jumping or vaulting - I'm only little.

No good at weightlifting - not strong enough.

Too much of a wimp for Judo.

I'll try my hand at Archery though, had a bow & arrow set when I was a kid.

Was going to say when I was little...................but I'm still little.......5' 2"

Evening
Well I can probably get away with weight lifting as I do that lots of the time, what with picking up kiddies and equipment !!!

Archer................... does listening to the Archers count? I thought not.LOL

Table tennis cos we're not posh enough to have tennis courts.

Can the training finish early on Sunday as I have a wedding to attend and I will need to sort my hair out. Nudge nudge eh girls

Enjoy your evening

Linda :o) XxX

Pauline people pay good money for a mud bath suppose to be good for your compextion
But your have a big wash if you do that the towels will be very dirty.I hope you do not put your hips out with the Hula Hoops
Your need a lot of strength to pull that bow string back I hurt my back doing that when I use to go with my scouts to Archery.
not trying to put you off LOL

Marilyn that is disgusting the hospital making a mistake like that. my hospital has a notice up each month DNA did not arrive and they put the figures up last month it was 67.
Our Doctors does the same thing.

Well we seem to have got that all sorted that is a nice line up for the Games

Outboards, Oars and Flippers can be used with discretion.

Don't know where you'd mount an outboard though.

Watch out you lot........TEAM GR.....are on the way to India.

Looks like you and Stephen will be doing the swimming together Shelly.
I'm sure Marilyn will join you,if you give her a nice swimming cap so that she doesn't get her hair wet. A nice lime green one would suit her well,with her swimming cozzy in the same colour, she will look like a green fish zipping through the water.
I am competing in.
Darts
Conkers
Hula Hoop.

Great News!
A friend of mine that I used to swim with has agreed to come out of 'retirement' and join our team.
Who is he?
None other than Bobby McGregor, former British, European and World Champion over 100mtrs.
Silver Medallist at Tokyo Olympics 1964, beaten by only a tenth of a second for Gold.

Next bit of good news.....a tailor friend has agreed to donate our uniforms....we will need to design them.
Bobby and I will be wearing our kilts.
I will have my Gordon tartan and Bobby his McGregor.

Things are looking good.

Yesterday we had hail storms, torrential rain and thunderstorms, today we've got gale force 8 winds and torrential rain...............guess that means the summer's over.

I'll have to go shopping later because I need to find a string of pearls and a little black dress................think it might take a bit more than that to look like Audrey Hepburn though.
