Day 2

Away from my sofa, so little to report. I caught a snippet of Nicole Cooke crossing the line in the women's road race, and a bit of the women's gymnastics.

No rowing, though, so I missed out on the dynamic duo's BBC commentary. Yesterday's prize went to their naming the Zimbabwe sculler (Elana) Hill as Susan Hill. I didn't realise the author of The Woman in Black - and independent publisher - had added yet another string to her bow.

Catching up, though, my suspicions that conditions were fast have been confirmed by the Australian M4x setting a new world record. Less good, however, was racing being abandoned owing to the weather, but hopefully the storm will have chased away the haze.
