Six Team GB gold medals today and three of those in athletics in the Stadium tonight! The first time ever that Britain has won three medals on one night of athletics. Two other golds came from the Velodrome and the one from the rowing at Eton Dorney. Fantastic - but the icing on the cake was Jessica Ennis's win tonight at the 800 metres to clinch gold in the Heptathlon. Wins in the long jump and 10,000 metres men's final completed the tally. A great feeling of pride in being British tonight is evidenced by our third position in the Medal Table with 14 gold medals - 29 medals in total. It's also an exciting time at home as Tom and I prepare for our Polish holiday. I checked in online with the airline today, checked our insurance and use of the VIP lounge at both airports (Bristol and Krakow) and started the irksome task of packing (well I got the suitcases out of the loft at least). More distractions with all the Olympics today but did achieve quite a bit. Really looking forward to my few days is Krakow as, it seems, is Tom. Really haven't much to write here as the sporting history books will record it in full detail. Suffice it to say, quite a few tears of pride flowed this evening and I do hope we can watch and understand the Olympics on Polish TV.
