Well, there's some kind of damp stuff apparently coming from above, it's almost wetting some plant leaves - no idea what it is, but it's like a dryer version of water. 🤣
A bus driver very kindly stopped for me midway when he saw I was running down the hill to catch it. Not many do that for you these days - probably not supposed to.
Hats off to Birmingham for the hosting of the Commonwealth Games . Such a lovely atmosphere, and beautiful weather as well.
Not sure what the youngsters made of it, but how l enjoyed Ozzie Osborne and Black Sabbath at the closing ceremony 🙂. Musical Youth not quite so youthful, but "Pass the Dutchie" has been going through my head all night. Love Bhangra music, l can't sit still when l hear it.
The weather has certainly been a massive bonus. It's brought the crowds out and even morning sessions at the athletics has seen the stadium full. Normally morning sessions are near empty.
Coverage has been good too, with most sports getting coverage on Auntie Beeb.
Totally agree @AnniD … it was all absolutely brilliant … and last night rounded it all off perfectly… @punkdoc and I were just discussing it on Forkers. Dear old Ozzie … I was a bit worried about him but he was great … the perfect person/band for the grand finale.

Yes it’s all been amazing such a great boost to tourism and a real positive buzz in the city. Many of my friends and family were involved and have only had good things to say. The gorgeous weather certainly helped and it’s lovely to have something to be proud of in the UK, makes a change.
