The weather continues to be hot and today marks the penultimate day of the London 2012 Olympics. More medals to be won today taking our total at the end of the day to 28 golds! I spent the morning mowing the three lawns and doing some weeding at the front of the house. Mary and Sara had their usual Saturday in town and Thom was busy in his bedroom watching the Olympics. This afternoon Thom and I went into Southampton to watch Saints' friendly match against the Italian premier league club Udinese. This was our chance to see our new first team in action. Unfortunately Saints put on a woeful performance and this does not bode well for their Premier League campaign. We met our friends Andy, John and family outside, after we had bought our tickets, and arranged to meet up inside to sit together in the Kingsland Stand. Thom and I walked over the bridge to our usual chippy. Unfortunately, their prices have gone up - in sympathy with Saints's own increases? - although the quality and value remains good - they received a special mention on a recent fans programme on Sky too, so they are certainly on the map. Udinese concluded the match with a comfortable 0-4 victory over Saints! Saints still seem to have a lot to do but it was good to be back at St. Mary's. Ironically, after we parked the car in Southampton the first language we heard being spoken was Polish and as we walked through the multi-cultural inner city area of this great English city we saw advertisements for Polish products and in particular, the Polish beer which I was drinking in Krakow - Tyskie! We could so easily be back in Krakow again!
