Morning, a little overcast and a cool 24 forecast today.
Should be a lot easier to be out at the Olympics today!

Speaking of outstanding swimmers... Summer McIntosh is 17?!? She's doing this at 17! What a future that girl has.

The Argentinian football team is becoming deeply unlikeable to a lot of fans around the world.

Congrats to Smith Rowe, that should be a good move for him and his development. Thanks Emil, you're an all-round good lad.

not to be a doomsayer, but after what Fulham did to us last season it's too bad we couldn't have put a clause in there that, like with loan deals, they can't field him against us this season.

*mwahves* did you have fun with lulu and co the other day? What did you see ?

Yeah, it was great, in the end we managed to just catch som of the Freestyle BMX. Lots of side stuff and great atmosphere.
Tuesday was the hottest day of the week (reaching up to 36°C), so it was a little too much on the hot side to feel totally comfortable.
So we stayed about 3-4 hours and ended up having a beer in an air conditioned pub and then dinner and drinks on a shaded terrasse. Finished with an Italian gelato next to it...
