Yes, I did enjoy it last night. We have so many youngsters running in the "adult" class or whatever it is called now who have a lot of future hope, they have so much talent. The weather unforunately was typical for Glasgow but they have had days of glorious sunshine.
What has impressed me is the way that lesser known sports eg bowling have had the rules and how to play the game spelled out so simply. It has made a difference to me.
Tonight we will see the heats for the relays- I am looking forward to seeing the exciting new, young talent working together.

Great night last night wasn't it.
Crowd in stadium very engaged and supporting all the home nations - and everyone else.
Weir still on top form.
Good night for the UK women - a surprise silver in the long jump (even though poor Shara had to withdraw), fantastic women's 200m - with a silver and bronze and 4th place for UK women.
Blessing is obviously a huge talent - she can long jump too. She is going to be a Nigerian superstar I think.
And of course www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/commonwealth-games/28593480 Eiligh got her expected silver - always a nail-biter in the hurdles. Greg Rutherford probably set a record for signing autographs and posing for selfies the other day but the UK women were hard on his heels last night.
I am also deeply impressed by the BBC's attention to visual detail. The studio set has a citrusy colour scheme and Gabby, Denise and Paula have acquired a co-ordinated wardrobe for the occasion. 
Colin aka best dressed man on tv is in the commentary box i think for this one.
(this is obviously not such an issue on Match of the Day or The Six Nations as the all male teams much more boringly dressed but I would like to take Guscott out and buy him some scarves that make him look a bit less un-dead)
