Loving it!  Glued all day.  My two week holiday, this is.  Especially enjoying that huge blue pool of water on my telly on hot days!  You can't knock the effort Glasgow has put in either.  The attention to detail  is tremendous.   O0

Cool blue water eh!

Every time I switch on it's swimming which is one of my favourites, the judo girls are doing well too and the sons enjoy the cycling


Glaswegians doing Scotland proud

I am waiting for the mixed team triathlon relay.  If we have the gold and silver medallists from the men's event and the gold and bronze medallists from the women's event, then even over the shorter course distances, they must be favourites.....  500m swim, 15K bike and 5K run, done as a relay.  I've never seen one before.
 
Swimming at the mo.  Heats, so I am pottering about doing bits of chores and jobs with an eye on the telly.

The swimming and athletics are the sports I watch most of but the gymnastics girls were excellent :)

Yes, anyone who can beat the Africans at distance running definitely deserves a medal.   The Kenyans in particular are so gifted and dominant at the longer distances.

27 now!  Only the Aussies with more at the minute - though that may change now the track and field events are off.  Glasgow is putting on a brilliant show.   Looking forward to the diving in a couple of days too.  O0

It's raining medals!  We're looking well placed to finish top of the table and to beat our record tally from Manchester.   Best of all, it's been a really nice event, with the crowds turning up and cheering everyone and all the competitors congratulating one another.   I'm going to miss it next week.  Course, I'll probably get the house cleaned properly then.....  ;D
