	Maddie, Shelly said you aren't allowed to get silver, it has to be gold - so I put you down for a photo finish. Well done both of you, the medals are mounting up. Stephen is lagging behind a bit.........but he did enter quite a lot of events.

	Who is the fellow in the Gordon Tartan kilt, stepping up to this heavy ball of iron. 16lbs of cast metal. He looks small and compact but with powerfull shoulders and thighs. It's Stephen from Team GR. This team have astounded the games committees I wonder if this lad can keep up the standard. Picking a the shot he tosses it around like a tennis ball. Now he tucks it close under his chin, eyes looking skyward he goes into a full circle swing, kilt spreading with the speed. The arm straightens....the shot sails skyward....upward and onward, over the last marked position, still moving at speed. Sh*t ! Right through the Score Board. He has beaten the last competitor by 15 metres. GOLD for Team GR. There are loads of ladies running around wild, all of them seem to be wearing GOLD.

	Yay. Go Stephen, go Stephen, go Stephen. We are de-boom. Brilliant today, even better tomorrow. Hope you are ok Rita. Hospital went well. They can usually start my blood tests well, but cant stop the flow. lol Think they want us to be up early to help stamp the track down. Apparently the steam-roller has gone AWOL. Some Scot wanted to show his strength, and pushed it off the track, last seen, heading toward Delhi town centre. Muttering something about wanting to press all the clothes cos the iron has exploded. Rest tonight all, big day AGAIN tomorrow.

	As I lie in bed tonight I will, as usual, be thinking and praying for my dear friends on the Friendly Thread who are not keeping very great. I will also be thinking and praying that ALL of you keep safe and well. See you all tomorrow..........if God spares me......as my Mother used to say. Nite all.

	Morning ladies and gents. That track is still not done. I dont know how we are expected to zooooooom around that. The grass is still being laid too. Why did they not put some kind of covering with all that dancing going on. I dunno. Just going for a limber up. Hope everyone is feeling well today. See you later.

	The track looks disgraceful !! Nobody should be expected to run on that . Damp and dreary again back in the South East. Guess the family will make the best of it and go shopping. Need medical supplies for all the sprains and strains and coughs and colds still hanging around. Oh the usual medicines from the Dr's prescriptions too. Have a good medal day all. Linda :o) XxXX
