Day 6 - Shift

So it's been another warm sunny day in Glasgow

For those of you who are interested this is where the Games have been organised  from - Games HQ in Albion St


If you work for Transport Services then you get to drive one of these fleet of Fords (official sponsor) - not quite the cachet of driving BMWs at London 2012 however!



Looking up Argyll St towards Central Station from junction with Albion St (where Games HQ based)

For Australian relatives and friends this is where Network Ten studio is based - at the Scottish Exhibition Centre


Here is Part 2 of the History of the Clyde series


Started shift early as we were short of one team member (personal reasons). One of the highlights of being on Field of Play is meeting International Federation reps and Technical Officials. Have had some very interesting chats with an IF doctor (from Germany). It is also interesting to see how coaches play tactical games - not seen if you are Front of House and probably not obviously from backstage broadcast pictures

From the BBC Scotland website today a weightlifter from Papua New Guinea was in court today charged with sexual assault in a toilet at the Tescos near the Athletes Village. Apparently occurred on 21st and he was in custody but they let him out to compete yesterday!

And now the most important feature of the blog:
Today's Menu


Looks like the fifth item is becoming standard. The ice cream was very welcome, particularly given the increase in temperature today

Finally it was good to meet up with Elizabeth Swain in the workforce break area today. We were both in the same medical school class just a 'few years ago'. She is working in spectator services
Really is a small world
