My regular daily schedule is being totally disrupted at the moment, thanks to the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast of Australia.
These first few days of sporting competition have found me watching far more TV than I usually do. Of course it's the swimming that has captured most of my attention. However, the cycling, gymnastics and women's boxing have also absorbed much of my time so far.
Of course Australia, being the hosts, are having most of the success. @JudyEv will be feeling proud of this sporting event her country is hosting. But our little country, New Zealand, hasn't been doing too badly either, considering our population is only four and a half million.
If you want to know about the Commonwealth Games just do a Google search for Gold Coast Commonwealth Games 2018.

It's exciting for the visitors, but a total pain for locals. I lived on the Gold Coast for 18 years, and we always dreaded when Indy time came round - closed streets, extra crowds, all kinds of obstacles to getting on with your daily life. But then, I'm not into sports at all. Perhaps those who are don't mind.

I confess I'm past an age were I'd enjoy being part of the crowd. But what a fabulous tourist opportunity for the Gold Coast. The weather has been amazing. I haven't spent much time there, but loved it when I was there. I believe there are many Kiwis living in that part of the world!
you have to admit you do live in a pretty special part of the world!
