Here's the steps to get an eSIM: Get a Vodafone PAYG SIM card, local shops will have them, try and find one with a data bundle Register for My Vodafone online, you'll get some security texts so stick the PAYG SIM in an old phone or swap it into your phone's SIM card slot temporarily When you're logged into My Vodafone, go to https://www.vodafone.co.uk/webcenter/portal/myvodafone/pages_accountprofilesettings/simswap Pick eSIM Pick 'Enter device EID manually' Go into your phone's settings and find the EID of your second, spare SIM slot. On Android this is in Settings -> About phone -> SIM status (sim slot 2). Copy the number or write it down and put it into the My Vodafone form Submit the form and you'll get an error message about an order already being in progress, or something like that Come back to https://www.vodafone.co.uk/webcenter/portal/myvodafone/pages_accountprofilesettings/simswap a day or two later and try again Now it should work You'll get an email with some instructions and a QR code to scan (the password for the PDF is your birthday, DDMMYYY), but my phone (Android Pixel 7a) automatically found the eSIM when I went into my Network and Internet -> SIMs -> Add screen. Once it's set up, you can pick if you want to use the eSIM as your primary connection for data, or for calls and texts too. When I get to the farm I'll switch all the preferences to use the Vodafone eSIM and ask my friends to use my Vodafone number for calls or texts, but I'll still be able to use my WhatsApp tied to my old number, just with the data coming from Vodafone instead of Three now!

https://notion.online/skreams-guide-to-glastonbury-festival "There was meant to be a dubstep set but the organisers said that the tent I would be playing would cause a health and safety risk and the whole area would have to be shut down. I’ll have to peg that as half a compliment but I am a little pissed off because I promised them that I’d do it. I’m also closing Shangri La on Sunday morning too, which should be special. We’ll try and figure something out about the dubstep set but the last place I want to get banned from is Glastonbury. It was one of the only festivals I wasn’t banned from before the age of 25. I’m 37 now and I’ve got kids, that’s the last thing I’d want to be happening."

Two servings of London Elektricity, no less. Hopefully he plays lots of Billion Dollar Gravy tunes with the anniversary and the remix album.

I wonder if it's relating to a new bit of sculpture or something that will only really make sense when more people are on the festival site?

Some more dinosaur references in the Instagram post caption:

Mines on! Not back in work till the Wednesday after the festival 😎

If anyone needs a way to turn a Vodafone PAYG SIM into an eSIM (so you can use it alongside your normal number if you've got a relatively recent phone) then let me know and I'll write up the steps I took. It's not officially supported on PAYG, but it seems to work.

Any movement on your tickets, Dutch peeps?

Our Dutch friend is still waiting too. I wish the PostNL tracking would update!

These pumps are great too, lots of attachments for various air beds, sleeping pads etc, plus a built in tent lantern and you can use the battery as a USB power bank too: https://www.flextail.com/products/max-pump-2-pro (Available on Amazon and eBay UK)

Makes sense given the venue size and not wanting to block off that markets strip when word got out

It's good to hear some EU tickets starting to arrive, thanks for sharing those updates. Our Dutch friend's PostNL tracking is still stuck on this 'we can't find your barcode' screen. I'm hoping the tickets will just suddenly turn up in the next few days!

I use a string of these, maybe 10 metres (?), in my F&B. I rig them up in a straight line from the lantern hook at the back of the tent to one of the hooks beyond the inner zip for the flysheet at the front of the tent, looping back and forth until the string runs out. Not crazy bright but it covers more area than a torch or some lanterns and is less aggressively bright. Mine are USB but you can get AA powered ones. On eBay search for terms like 'copper LED string':

The ones on copper wire are pretty bright and usually use three AAs, you can get colours or cold white or warm white. Cold white will be brightest but a bit harsh on people's eyes at night, warm white would be nicer and not that much less bright. I use them for tent lighting. If you search 'copper LED wire' on eBay you'll find loads, but make sure you order from a UK seller not a Chinese one (so it comes in time).
