id imagine the dust might be kept down by this heavy shower that seems to be passing through and heading that direction …

Rigging going up around the Park stage. Does that look like screen holding rigging? Or the framework for the patchwork quilt of posters they had last time?

We had the discussion last time, it does look the same as 2019 so I would say it’s for the patchwork quilt.

For those agriculturalists among you.. the silage pit in yard is getting higher (at camera height now) with the latest cuttings.

 

I really need to stop watching the webcam 😗

Its been dry here for days. Just back from my bumble and it started to spit with rain. Was hoping it would turn into a light drizze, as that would have been perfect weather for running. But no, I sweated more moisture than I received from the weather gods. Perfect festival weather.

The ground is good, with lush grass. Which reminds me,  I must mow the lawn.

Were you the solitary users of the campsite?!

Which one did you go to? 🙂 

Looking to take my gf and dog camping perhaps later this summer or next. 🙂 

Greenacres campsite, north wootton, a shortish walk from Pilton. Nice hotel closeby for a meal and a drink. Clean facilities, plenty hot water, showers etc. 40 pitches and we were the only ones on site! Not sure about the dog policy, you would have to contact them. I would recommend it for a peaceful break with Glastonbury, Wells etc a short drive away.

I hear this all the time from the OH.

I run so I can eat cake.

It's still No Mow May in my garden.  Perfect excuse.

I like the idea of No Mow May, but my lawn goes to seed really easily and I end up with grass growing on the paths and in the beds and everywhere really if I don't mow it.

We did that. He released a book with the images which I have a copy of. We didn’t make the cut.

Was that because you were too excited to have your picture taken.

I suspect it was because, being a teacher, I wrapped my shirt around my face rather than risk being struck off if a colleague or student ever saw the picture. Sensible, but not really in keeping with the ethos…

Even though we cannot see anything on the webcam, looks like the GoS build is progressing quite well.

I was really ill on the Thursday and Friday. Fine by Monday though, not that I looked it.

Here's Blutarsky's Daily Digest. Really enjoy doing a daily check and picking 4/5 highlights of activity.

 

Ground works going on just south of the Woods - there's been something going on around this area for a week or more now, but it's been obscured by trees. This is the first time it's been possible to see anything properly in that area:

Kit for the Pyramid mixing desk has been put out: 

Back of Pyramid field urinals being set up:

Skips being delivered for market areas. This is WG field: 

I think this is now 4 caravans in Greenpeace field: 

 

Van at the Spike: 

Fencing crew hard at it:

not ground works.  That is a general dumping ground / storage area, they are probably moving the pile of spoil and rubble that has been there for ages.
