Whitworth Park flats

Flat 13

My room

View out of the window

Big screen in Picadilly Gardens

Giant posters adorn buildings

There's no escape...

Fun in the fountains

Picadilly by night

On the way to the stadium

Getting in

Settling down for the athletics

The stadium from inside

The wondrous Arndale centre

Kit the mascot

Hockey at Belle Vue...

... in the rain

India beat South Africa
on a golden goal

Drying off after the deluge

Making a Niue flag

Exploring the city:
The Aquatics Centre

Outside the G-MEX...

... where the judo and
gymnastics took place

Watching the big screen

Getting wet

Taking the tram to
Salford Quays...

...to the Lowry Centre

Matchstick men...

...and matchstick
cats and dogs

And still it rained...

The end of the triathlon course

Karaoke in the
Commonwealth Cafe

Andy outside the aquatics centre

Me outside the aquatics centre

The Equivalence Cow^TM,
the result of a long
mathematical discussion

Imperial War Museum North

The 'Air Shard'

The bridge linking
Salford and Trafford

Off to the stadium,
supporting Niue

Back in the stadium for Rugby 7s

The stadium by day

The stadium by night

Picadilly Gardens ... the sun was shining ...

... the sky was blue ...

... the dancing men ...

...were dancing ...

... the square was packed with people watching the big screen

back to the stadium for the
Rugby 7s quarter finals

The action on the stadium screens

South African support

30,000 spectators support Niue for the night...

The triathlon: swimming ...

... cycling ...

... and running!

Heading home
