this week starts the commonwealth games in melbourne. for those who don’t know, it’s kind of like the olympics (swimming, gymnastics, shooting) with some non olympics sport tossed in (lawn bowls, rugby, table tennis, netball) tossed in and the participants are all from british commonwealth nations. some history and a list of participating countries is here.
today is the first day i’ve noticed there’s a lot more people on the street but for weeks now there’s been lots of work going on. there are now all sorts of pretty flowers all around the city.
(btw, i realised i never finished this & put it in drafts. am now going to upload the partially finished post & move on)
