Brilliant meet - thanks for organising, and fab to see everyone xx

Our litterpicking team (John Peel) was the same size as last year, but we usually had the John Peel area cleared a bit earlier as there was quite a bit less litter overall (although Sunday's crowds meant there was A LOT of mess left behind, but it was mostly cans and cups). The Beat Hotel was as grim as ever, with lots of NOS canisters, but what was really lovely was the almost total lack of litter left behind in The Wood - so nice to see people respecting that area.

At the bottom of the Kidz Field, worryingly close to the long drops:
Martha?
MARTHA!!
There's a squidgy one here if you want it!

I talk more loudly and swear more when I'm outside in a field full of people. I need to get my 'indoor voice' back now and stop using the word 'fucking' as a punctuation mark.

The squid place near Yeoman's Bridge was good and nice folks serving.
Yes - a bit overpriced for the portion size but absolutely bloody delicious.
I loved the Williams Green paella too - £4 for a 'small' that was plenty big enough!

My phone isn't that reliable but I couldn't take my iwatch so it'll have to do - 77 miles from Monday to Monday including 4 litterpicking shifts and a night of 'exuberant' dancing in Shangri-La.
It's no wonder I'm in pain...

That's really stupid. I'm happy to say I didn't really bump into or see anyone being an idiot, which is nice because that's not usually the case . Oh apart from the woman I saw from the Daily Fail!
I saw someone reading the Mail on Sunday yesterday...

I loved it! Missed the first bit as I went to see Alison Moyet, but what I saw was superb.

The dust is back...

I'm being a chair w*nker and am unimpressed with the pics - wld quite like to see the band not some pretty colours. Good so far though.

I've just seen a bloke wearing a tshirt that says:
SURELY NOT EVERYBODY WAS KUNG FU FIGHTING?

If you want chip shop chips, the one on right at the top of theatre and circus (near ped gate C) will sort you out.

Someone was desperately searching for Mandy at the Stone Circle yesterday afternoon...

The tap water is perfectly good.

Me and @amfy are here...

Yup - pharmacy at Williams green is open now. Medical centre open. Yellow shops have basic paracetamol etc but not cheap!

You'll struggle to get in anything bigger than a 3-man I think. It was filling up by 8am......

There's lots of joyful screaming coming from the gate B direction so it's obviously on its way...

It was overly hot at 8am. Went out drinking till past 2am last night and didn't need a jumper even then so it's ridiculously hot.
If you're queuing tomorrow please, please prepare for extreme heat and very high UV from very early in the day.

It was far, far too hot earlier in the week. I arrived on Monday and it took me longer to walk from Gate A to the farm with my kit than it took me to get from Oxfordshire to Gate A by public transport! It's really not a long walk, and my kit wasn't heavy really, but the heat was horrible.
When it started to cool down on Wednesday evening it was perfect!
