    All I know is that when the female volleyball players have to wear long johns/long underwear instead of bikini's... they picked the wrong place to have a Summer olympics.

    I wish they could put it off a week or so. Our printer has just told us they can't deliver a load of cafe barriers to Cardiff before Friday (should have been there today). Kill me, before our client does.

    I'll be heading to the Olympics this weekend

    Got tickets for the Olympic Park on Sunday lunchtime, followed by Wembley in the evening to watch the GB football team and then Table Tennis on the Monday morning.

    Lovely stuff.

    It won't drop below high teens during the day in London, even on a wet day, generally.

    This week has been our "summer" so far. Discount June and most of July as seasonably wet. Winter was unseasonably dry.

    Thank climate change.
