Well that was short and sweet Mo............ good luck at the darts.

I'll add your extra medal on the end of the list Shelly.


Edit: I've only counted 20 for you, I'll go and count them again.


Yep Shelly, you got 19 in the events and one extra for athlete of the week.

Think Stephen was next with 8.

Oops, no he wasn't - it was Maddie with 10.

Taaaaaraaaaaah. [that was a trumpet]

WE ALL DONE GOOD.

Now we have wiped the floor with the opposition, can we go home soon please.

The heat and the flies are getting to me. I've done me best, got me sarees, and me ball of wool. I'm getting a bit weary. Get Stephen to fire up the Jet, and we can go home.

Fancy a nice portion of fish and chips.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I am not sure if I have any more ompetitions but I am going home tomorrow .I have had enough. I am sooooooo tired it has taken it all out of me. I need a long sleep two days at least.

I hope your Ok Jean ? it must have been a rotten day for you..
I only hope your results come through are all good.

Love Rita

JET !

I'm needing a Jet up my backside......the last couple of days has been pure murder. So many demands from all sources....I wish to 'H' I had been in India. It would probably had been a great rest.

MOAN MOAN MOAN MOAN.

Thats it ! My moaning over for another long time...I hope.

Didn't you do well.

Flight home.....Private Jet...as usual. Departs Delhi 9.00am Tuesday.

Champagne all round.

Home to Red Carpets, Stretch Limos,
Open Top Bus Tour,
Civic Reception in the Guildhall with Boris.

I have heard there is to be a few MBEs etc for Team GR
and.....
whisper, whisper, someone is to be made a Dame.

Who could that be?

Bring home as many gifts as you like......we are VIPs now.

Stephen
Thank goodness for that I am feeling tired with all the excitment I am not use to it coming all at once..
I think we all did well. I have so many silk scarves with the medal I think I might donate them to a charity.
for tired competitors.

Did anyone see the News tonight about the Tate Gallery, ?
I double up with laughing. they called it art.
artifical sun flower seeds laid out as a floor.and you are allowed to walk on it.
I visit the Tate a lot when I am staying in London. I have seen bricks piled up this is art. I have walked on cracked floors this is art.

No wonder the gallery is always saying the need money to keep going.

I would sooner walk a round a galliery with good painting hanging on their walls my favourite is Lowry.even if they are Match stick figures


Rita

Looking forward to coming home and getting cool. I have loads to bring home with me. Got a collections of bindis that would bring a tear to a glass eye.

Missed the article on the Tate Gallery. Do you mean Tate Modern, on the south bank. We saw shed-boat-shed a couple of years ago. OH is VERY verbal at these showings. We went a few years ago when we saw a load of dexion and he went ballistic. THAT WAS NOT ART. We also saw the pile of bricks. And the molten wax rubbish. I prefer the Royal Academy myself. A better class of rubbish. I also walked on the crack. I have a corporate ticket that gets me into art galleries and museum exhibitions for nothing. The Waterhouse at RA was WONDERFUL.

My ancestor has paintings in the National and Portrait Gallery. SUPERB.

Back to the plot. Hope everyone is well and ok.

Looking forward to the Civic Reception at the Guildhall with Boris. I dont want a Damehood, just get me to meet Johnnie Depp, he is in London.

Nighty night everyone. Knackered. Long day.

TEAM GR

A quick parade of honour around the stadium headed up once more by the Massed Ceremonial Band of the Royal Marines.

We are followed by the Pipes and Drums of The Gordon Highlanders.

Red Carpet out of the Stadium and into our Open Top Stretch Limos heading for the Airport.

The Private Jet departs at 9.00am......don't miss it.

Can someone from London area send the Open Top Bus driver a route to the Guildhall.......we want as many folk as possible to see us come home. We have to pass Buckinham Palace as HM the Queen will be watching for us.

With all this Gold around we must be worth a fortune!!!!!!!!!

Wonder who will become a Dame?

Morning all.
Come on get a move on we dont want to miss the jet home. We are going back with three times more than we came with,I just hope there is room for it all.
I suppose we could always sell Yvonnes horse,and have the extra space for our gifts.

I hope we won't be long getting back ,as I have got to go to the eye hospital with my son this morning. The Optician thinks he may have a detatched retina. Kids who would have em, even at thirty three he is like a big baby,and needs his mum and dad there.
Speak to you tonight. Luv Mo

Morning all

what a long week this has been not sure I want to go again. I am going to hand in the towel and retire now I am too old for all this.
I must admit I like the Jet and the Limo and the cheers and medals but that it. I have it all on DVD so I can look back at my time at the Commonwealth Games.

I have my sister coming to day for the day so I am looking forward to that.. so you will not hear from me until this evening if then ?
so I hope. you all have a good day.
.
Jean hope things are going well for you.

Mo hope your Darts went off well and you won.

Rita

Morning all. Just finished packing my stuff.

All Audrey Hepburned up, so am ready to go. The limo is outside, just need a flunky to take my trunks down to the adjoining car. We sure have a lot of stuff to take back with us.

Hope the papps will take lots of piccys for us to gloat over when we get back home.

The bus is gonna go on a tour of London if it is to go past Buck House before the Guildhall. Still it should get the maximum attention. hope ITV and BBC are on standby.

Hope everyone is well.

Speak later.
