I double checked my pic didn't have any of that nonsense 🙂 Side note, not a fan of flags with a top bar thingy to keep them nicely opened (not sure what that's called, like the flags at west holts for example). Yes, make sure the WHOLE SURFACE of your flag is at all times visible to all, great!

Coming from another country and by public transport I do have issues being called a posh c*nt for going to pricey-ish WV. Are you all camping in a 2 person tent in general? How about campervans then? I do find some of those prices crazy but as long as there is space for everyone and tickets don't get reserved for glampers (there are some I know) then what's the deal?

Here it is

I am very tempted...

Kudos as well to the security joining the two step dance as well, they didn't have to and were probably fed up already with having to learn the Rick Astley routine 🙂

OK there is ONE thing I have to mention here. Some of you may have experimented the Monday queue for London coaches. Accidents, traffic, whatever, it happens. BUT our coach left with about 3 or 4 seats empty, while the queue was still extending to gate A. I really don't get that. See kept on saying "it's not in our power to make things go faster because traffic stewards etc" well here yes it was. Get in the bus, have a quick look, get 4 more people back home.

Beth Orton actually headlined Avalon a few years ago. I counted that we saw 3 "white male" acts during the whole fest. Clashes show the wealth of acts. And sometimes it's between artists you can put in similar "groups". I think that saying the fest hates female acts is pushing it a bit far.

I have a pic of this one 🙂 can't post it just yet but will do so later on! It was "Coachella is w*nk" to be precise!

Didn't see it but thoroughly approve 🙂

What did you have?

I quite like people who put random objects on a stick or have those inflatable animal heads. Kept on chuckling yesterday at Kermit dancing with Sharleen Spiteri on the BBC replay. I was quite fond of a duck too. And shout out to Steve the Monkey at Woodsies. They block the view less, and although they are less visible from afar, just give a vague idea of where you are when your mates are looking for you. When they get closer they'll spot you.

Superb set. I am so glad i chose her in a three way clash battle. I played her album twice on the way back home. Crossing fingers it will show in the iplayer. (side note: too few Irish gays in the audience 😛 )

Check this out too:

Some kudos from me to the gentleman who cried through Beth Orton's crows nest set. It was already good but seeing him enjoying it so intensively was making me sniffy too.

Club Mexicana and Vegan fried chicken always ace. Crumble shack: dark cherry and chocolate, and apple cinnamon and nuts. Mic drop. Nothing really bad... The curry at the Blue moon by woodsies lacked a bit of oomph but was so massive it fueled us for hours.

15 to 20 kms a day, pain in the fit and tired legs but otherwise no issues, I'm quite happy with it! I do need to go down a few kilos to reach my BMI goal, and keep up with exercise as some hip pain in the two weeks before the fest/high temperatures got me off the bandwagon. First short term goal being that 7.5 K I am super close to run.

Glad I was the only one. We were probably all wearing sunglasses which was hiding the fact that we were all bawling 🙂 I had a moment too when Young Fathers got the crew to chant Refugees are welcome, and at the end of CMAT.

Highlight for me. Caught 3 Elton tracks from the Mandala bar, then head straight into the pit at other. Zero regrets. Perfect band, perfect sound, great audience where I was standing.

I think they'll do it, I had something like that and they refunded quite fast!

That's the almost exact copy of my list, did the car yesterday though!

I went to Pyramid headliners far too often because of FOMO and not my taste and honestly I never enjoyed it so trust your instincts. This year it is not happening, sorry Elton.

Some people dared to have an online meeting go overtime just now. How am I supposed to get REAL STUFF done?

My hip pain is almost gone, did a little run two days ago at snail pace and it didn't make it worse so * crossing fingers * it will be as good as it can be. Am not doing anything more than lifting a backpack today and going to the shops. Am binging on veg and fruit as well to have all my vitamins in. Go Fit Crew GO!
