What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2019?

[basquille]

Went to buy wellies..

.. realised I had gaiters..

.. so thought hiking boots would do..

.. downgraded to walking boots which I thought would be comfy..

.. then downgraded again to slightly ruggadised waterproof runners, which I bought!

To paraphrase Ron Burgundy, "that de-escalated quickly"..

Basically, I'm an idiot!

Bought this;

Fed up with Airbeds and their inability to maintain pressure for one night at a time. Other than that, I've done nothing at all to date, I need to get my arse in gear.

[Beerqueen]

Would love to order these!

Today to get ready for glasto, I gave my waterproof jacket a right good test commuting in the torrential downpours that London had

(was subsequently v relieved to see that the fest remained untouched. Long may it continue!)

I'm wondering now why I ordered 2 bottles though, its deadly stuff too easy to drink ?

You can always bring some back home with you.*

 

 

*You won't.

Got some super comfy new pyjamas that I'm saving for the big event. Added bonus: they have dogs on them.

This blueberry/raspberry recipe - does it work well with vodka? I already have two gins, so thought it might be good to get some variety. Although, after a lot of bad experiences with vodka when I was younger, I am a little bit hesitant to reengage with it... 

Me too! Thanks for the reminder 

Should we be straining & decanting our gins yet? Mine's been on the go for 2 months now and the raspberry infusion is brilliant, pineapple will be saved for when slightly merry.

Or is it worth leaving it until next weekend?

Started to make up the goodie bags for the girls who are all virgins (only in the Glastonbury sense).

They each have..... a disco ball drinking cup, sheewee, biodegradable glitter, hand sanitizer, paper soap, Vaseline lip balm and some lollipops ?

I love stuff like this. I bet you're just as excited to give them out as they will be to receive them as well!

I’m looking forward to the reviews of the sheewees ?

[Peroni]

Just had my Glastonbury newbies orientation session.

Had the map on the TV, talked through a few bits that have helped me over the years.  They seemed to enjoy it!

[chazwwe]

bought a new sleeping bag as my one was 7 years old and seem to not survive too well over last summer. Getting a waterproof jacket tomorrow and then start buying the alcohol in. 2 x rum, 1 x vodka and 1 x sambuca and then some cider (wont just be all for me, is sharing)

Aw mine would be missing within seconds trying to lick everyone. 

I keep thinking you're @Zoo Music Girl whenever I see the avatar. Most confusing. Lol  

Oh jeez, I'll see if I can change it. Didn't realise. In my defence I do look just like Mrs Mia Wallace , just curvier with big thick black glasses ? 

I'm leaving my child and my dog to go to Glastonbury and I know which one I'll miss the most ?❤

Anyone know where I can buy a canoe?

Noooo don't say that! Is it horrendous? Are we doomed?

[MetaKate]

I'm mostly packed!!! Not too many casualties... theres a really awesome neon pink sweater that's going to have to stay home. 

Im so freakin excited. 

[Quark]

Packing list and final shopping list just about there.

Ticket at the post office to be collected.

Party supplies just about sorted.

T-shirt for the meet has arrived.

Plan is to get all the shopping done this weekend and get everything piled up in the garage. Then I'll probably just sit and stare at it and smile for a bit

So that means you'll be easier to recognise at the meet? ?

I'd bring the dogs in a heartbeat but reckon they'll have a better time with the mother in law and the big fields next door to her.

This has properly made me laugh but now I have questions. Did you line them up in a classroom stylee? Ask if there were any questions? Set a test? Make sure they took notes?

Lovely, you can wear it in the General News thread too.

Took back a faulty tent, so glad I checked it, would of been pretty pissed off otherwise, would suggest to anyone with a new tent to put it up before to check it’s ok.
