I am just watching the equestrian cross country. Wow some of the jumps are very scary . I agree with the scary part, especially the one where they had to go down the very steep hill. It took out a few of the riders. I missed Zara Phillips though, it started to early here in Calif., and I slept through the beginning. |

you know those mam adverts that they have for olympics? not that i don't agree that mum's do a lot, but what about dads?? do they not get a say in any of this? dad can help their children as well. The reason for this is that company that is sponsoring the the Thank You, Mom campaign is Procter & Gamble. Most of the products they sell are either for Beauty, Grooming or Household Care and as such a large majority of their products are geared towards women. These are some of their more famous brands: Always, Aussie, Braun, Camay,Clairol, CoverGirl, Crest, DDF, Dolce & Gabbana Cosmetics,Dolce & Gabbana Fragrances, Escada Fragrance, Fekkai, Fusion, Gillette, Gucci Fragrances, HUGO BOSS Fragrances, Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Ivory, Lacoste Fragrances, Nice 'n Easy, Olay, Old Spice,Oral-B, Pantene, Pert, Rejoice, SK-II, Safeguard, Scope, Sebastian, Secret, Tampax, Venus, Vidal Sassoon, Wella, Ariel, Bold, Bounce, Bounty, Cascade, Charmin, Cheer, Clearblue, Comet, Dash, Dawn, Downy, Dreft Laundry, Duracell, Era, Eukanuba, Febreze, Gain, Iams, Joy, Luvs, Metamucil, Mr. Clean, Pampers, Pepto-Bismol, Prilosec OTC, Puffs, Swiffer, Tide, Vicks And if you are wondering how I know all this it is because P&G (as we locals like to call them) was founded and has had it's global headquarters based in Cincinnati for the last 175 years. So as you imagine, they are really big deal in my town. ;D |

Hi guys I am back had a great time.
I went up by train as I live in Dorset west country. By Train takes about 2 half hours good journy not to busy on the train went with 2 friends. We left at 8.15am got to Wimbledon just after 10.30am.
When you get at Wimbledon station you can walk to the tennis about 20 min or take a free bus to the tournement we took the bus. The security was very tight like going to the airport, all the road were blocked off. Only busess and tax were aloud.
On Center court we saw 4 matches 2 mens and 2 womens. Frederer, Martin Del Potro they both won and the women victoria Azarenka womens no 1 and Caroline Woznlicki ex no 1 now no 8. The weather was good not to hot just right. The atmosphere was great during the frederer match we were doing the mexican wave everyone very freindly. Lots of places to buy food to eat.
Going home we got the 7.45pm train back witch was packed had to stand half the way home no seat. Got home about 10.45pm was so tied went to bed when I got home.

It took out a few of the riders. I missed Zara Phillips though, it started to early here in Calif., and I slept through the beginning. Some of them came galloping down that hill , I had to cover my eyes. Zara and all of Team GB rode really well. Made me want to take my horse to cross country again.  |
