Just one sky picture from last night, very attractive again.

I had a really short night. I managed to stay up and see Mo Farah win the 10,000 metres race, heart in my mouth when he was tripped, fantastic that he picked himself up and still won! I slept in the tv room, not very well, as I didn't put the bed down, but I have the extension for the headphones now so didn't have to struggle on that score. Was awake before 7 am and got myself ready to go to the boot sale with Darren. After our usual breakfast I wandered with him for a while but ankle and knee both less that co-operative today! I sat in the car and did a puzzle and dozed in the heat of the sun. I bought a scrapbook kit for £1 which was a bargain. May do one of the trips with Isobel.

Very busy at the boot sale as usual, that farmer really makes good use of his land as the circus is set up in the next field.

I also got a carton of bits with compasses, calligraphy pens and ink, some beads, spring holders to keeping paper on boards and some batteries which Darren will use. £1 for that little lot as well.

I ordered some Brusho inks after talking to a young lass called Jude, and have tried a first picture using them. I think I used a little too much for the wash this time but will be having another go.

Not long up from getting dinner for us, and made some reasonably successful fairy cakes again, plus Tina brought home some rhubarb, so made a crumble. We watched Max with the floor discipline at the Olympics, the two Brazilian boys who got silver and bronze were overwhelmed, one of them hardly stopped crying until the medal ceremony! It was a great watch. Don't think I will be staying up half the night though, will hopefully see Andy and Max and Lewis in the pummel horse final.
