And day six in the Olympic bubble and Britain is basking in a post Wednesday golden hangover, with expectations now going through the roof for a large number of athelets who have yet to compete.
Saying that, the GM men's team did beat Uruguay last night to send their opponents home early and for GB to head to the quarter-finals. They really are looking like a team at the moment and now have a match in Cardiff on Saturday for a place in the semis.
Todays sports to watch are:
08:55 16:40 Fencing Women's Team Foil Quarter-finals
09:25 12:40 Judo Quarter-finals
09:25 13:20 Rowing Men's Double Sculls Final
12:00 20:10 Tennis Men's Quarter-Finals - Murray v Almagro
13:25 17:10 Canoe Slalom Finals Men's C2, Women's K1
14:55 16:10 Shooting Men's Double Trap final
15:55 18:45 Cycling - Track Team Sprint
18:50 22:55 Hockey Women's pool matches
19:25 21:15 Swimming Finals
And as you can see, the velodrome opens its doors for the first time today, which should provide a rich seam of gold for 'team GB'.
In other news, it is a new month and so the year wanes away heading towards autumn. Our thoughts are turning towards autumnal fruit from the hedgerows and the jams, pickles and wines we hope to make. August is also when we bake our Christmas cake and brew the Christmas porter. I think we shall do that at the end of the month.
On the home front we are still trying to dry out our living room carpet after the radiator leak, and we have had to roll the carpet up to allow the underlay to dry. Its a slow business, but hope to have things back to normal by the weekend and maybe even a new radiator installed.
Outside the unsettled weather has returned, with a stiff breeze and occasional showers. I hope that things warm up again and we have a golden month with the weather. we really have had enough of the rain already.
