Yep, this book,  Glastonbury: An Oral History of the Music, Mud and Magic.  It's a great read, polished it off over Christmas and Boxing day.

Given to me by my lovely Fiancée, which was bitter sweet in a way, as I'm missing 2011 for our honeymoon, which I thought I'd arranged for the fallow year, damned Olympics!

And don't say "go to Glasto for your honeymoon", I normally go without her, she makes it rain!

My subtle hinting paid off.  Mum & Dad gave me some cash to buy my Igloo ice box.  Other half got me some merino hiking socks and some new zip off North Face hiking trousers.  Exactly what I wanted.

a festival survival kit and some wellie socks
however, the wet wipes were missing from the box, most important item aswell!

in a sorta messed up way i understand. but i still need a bed after a hardcore day at the fest. all so an on site Chiropractor would be good, by the end of day one my back feels like its been stamped on by a herd of male elephants.

There are on site chiroprators - try the healing fields! Also - air beds are pretty comfy I find, especially after a day of drinking and dancing - I'm out like a light!

For me the camping is all part of the letting go of the person that has loads of stuff to do & places to be for the rest of the year. When you can't even wash properly - all that regimentation fades away so much more quickly and thoroughly I find!

(I do need to say that I do wash pretty well at Glastonbury - just not at my one or two showers a day levels of my home life!)

Anyway - festival related presents - Plan B tickets for March. Last year he clashed with Florence and Mumford, and Florence ended up being the compromise between my mother's taste and ours in her first few hours at the festival. We were all happy to see Florence, but left to our own devices - we would've probably headed for Plan B, & my mum would've gone for Mumford. So - thanks to Santa - I now get to catch up on Plan B!

Rest of ticket paid for!
Also a wind up torch!

Wish i had a new tent and wellies though!!

Hold Steady tickets for February are probably the closest I've come to a festival-related present. I've already got a tent, sleeping bag and clothes ... what more do I need?!

Merry Christmas!

The missus is going to pay for the balance on my ticket. I said i didn't want anything to unwrap on Xmas day from her as long as she gave me the money for the balance of the ticket. My Christmas is in June now !

[vinylvictim]

and i'm trawling the web for something to spend my christmas money on
