Glasgow 2014. It's been a long time coming.

Not sure how I feel about the opening ceremony, liked the giant teacakes less convinced about John Barrowman bodysurfing a giant heather coloured vagina. Though, as a rule, I have a big soft spot for Captain Jack and the gay kiss was inspired as were the Scottie dogs.

For the record, I thought the team uniform for Scotland rocked.

I'm also impressed by the link up to the international space station. Nicola Benedetti added a much needed element of loveliness along with the children of Sistema Scotland. Though we barely saw them in spite of the ginormous 'fuck off' screen (which I also approved of). They definitely blew the budget on the giant telly.

Billy Connolly ... I wanted to give him a hug. He looked poorly :(

So, today's blip actually nothing to do with Glasgow 2014 and everything to do with a lovely walk along the river with wildflower beds, to the beach, with my super spesh friend Janet who SWAM in the forth. It was very breezy. She is all woman.
