Morning all
It rained for a while yesterday evening so it's a bit fresher this morning.
Everything was okay at our local shop this morning. Apparently two men armed with knives threatened the staff and stole cash from the till, hence the presence of armed police when Ed went round for the papers. The culprits can't have been very bright, the shop opens at 6am, they went in to rob it at 6.30am when there really wouldn't have been much in the till by then, probably little more than the regular float!! I'm guessing the staff must have had a good idea of who they were as although they rode off on a scooter they were caught quite quickly. Obviously the usual shop assistant, a very nice chap, was really shaken, but thankfully no one was hurt. It must have been a shock, this is a very quiet area, things like this are very rare.
More gymnastics and pool action later so we'll be glued to the box for that. You're right Osc, when the Olympics come round we watch a lot of sport we rarely see at other times. Well done to both Irish gold medal winners, swimmer Daniel Wiffen and pommel horse Rhys McClenaghan.
We've had a nice lie in so only just having brekkie. Roast chicken with salad for dinner this evening, ice cream for pud.
Hope you all have a good day xxx
