Murray and Ainslie win Gold; Lightning Bolt strikes again!

Up early this morning - much to do as I have to pack for Tom and me for our trip to Krakow tomorrow.  I attended Early Morning Eucharist at St. John's this morning which was taken by Jeremy Davies whose homily turned into a full blown sermon lasting over 15 minutes - something which St. John's congregation is not used to.  He spoke on the feeding of the five thousand and the significance of breaking the bread.  Sara and Mary attended the Salisbury City F.C. Fun Day up at the football ground whilst Tom and I packed whilst being distracted from time to time by the TV coverage of the Olympics.  Sara arrived back before we left for the Bristol Airport hotel and we all watched Andy Murray win gold in the Men's Singles Final against Roger Federer.  We left for Bristol at around 5.00 p.m. and listened to the radio coverage of the Mixed Doubles Finals which resulted in a win for Belarus over Andy Murray and Laura Robson who took silver.  Never mind, Ben Ainslie came up trumps with another gold medal today taking GB's tally to 18.  Tom and I arrived at the Bristol Airport Premier Lodge around 7.30 p.m. (we got stuck behind a learner for much of the journey) and ate a curry for dinner before turning in for the night around 11 p.m. having seen Bolt set another new Olympic record in the 100 metres.  Amazing day again in the Olympics with much excitement tomorrow as we set off for Krakow
