Not Long Now

At time of posting there are 3 days, 20 hours, 24 mins and 20 seconds left until the XX Commonwealth Games begin in Glasgow. Baton Relay flag and wristband in case you are wondering. Watched the concert from Edinburgh Castle this evening, full marks to Bill Bailey with his very own rendition of the end of the 1812 Overture, complete with Castle Canons.

An air of anticipation about the place. Just hope rain doesn't stop play, it's been torrential this afternoon.

Second delegation of visitors stuck in Dubai after missing a connection, hoping to make it to London tomorrow. We await a travel update. Yes, we did advise them to bring umbrellas.
