The Cwlth Games

Go Aussies!!!

Today we started quite early with a full Scottish breakfast at 7:00am. This consisted of magnificent bacon,poached egg,mushrooms, sausage, tomato and Toast. Also muesli, yoghurt and juices. They know how to make tea that Uncle Chris would approve of.

Then off to the station for our ride into Glasgow and our appointment for netball. On the way we stopped for the odd photo...

and free coffee!

We were greeted everywhere by volunteers who wanted to help us with the quickest way to the venue. They only succeeded in confusing us so much that we eventually just walked there. As you can see we were greeted as winners which augurs well for the real athletes for which we were obviously mistaken!

We passed security without any ankle beeps and without Poss succeeding in getting the burly Scots Fusiliers to do a full body search.

After watching a pretty good match between Malawi and Nth Ireland our Aussie girls took the court against Wales. sorry Bethan but it really wasn't a contest despite some clear assistance to the team in Red from the English umpire.

I think the final margin was about thirty but itit was a great experience to be involved in a Games event. On the long walk back into town people would yell out of car windows "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!!" Or G'day mate! So it would appear that the Scots now know that we are in Scotland.

The weather is simply superb and everyone thanks us for bringing it with us. Hope it holds for tomorrow as we venture up to Edinburgh for a day in the capital. 

We pray all is well with each and everyone of you. All our love. Poss and Pop
