Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Hampden Park

It was a much simpler route to the Commonwealth Games today via the Park and Ride, which worked very smoothly and had us at Hampden Park in good time to buy fish suppers and a souvenir ‘Clyde’ (the human thistle with purple hair and a charmingly manic grin) before taking our seats for the evening session of track and field; highlights were Greg Rutherford’s gold in the long jump, the imperious Kirani James winning the 400m, David Rudisha looking impressive in his 800m semi-final, Jess Taylor finishing off her heptathlon to get a gutsy bronze, and some good women’s 200m sprint heats where the three English girls went through to tomorrow’s final stages along with the charismatic Blessing Okagbare.
