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

[Paul_F]

Yet another walk - been out in rain, wind, sun, rain wind and sun combined over the past few weeks to break my boots in as my old pair decided to fall apart. Full on weather sim

Now I know what clothes won't keep me dry so they've been sorted. Not that I'll need them obvs.

You obviously have to get one now.

I've ordered one.  Of course.  This place is bad for my wealth!

I resisted when you were talking about them before but of course we all knew it wouldn't last.

It’s always invaluable. Thanx @Brave Sir Robin  

Ive created my own now of acts on my must see and would like to see list. 

If I think about what he undertakes each year and how long it would take for me to do it, I cannot but be humbled at his creation.

Kinda wish I’d got the backpack now so I could take it to the festival but I’m still pretty happy, it’s so shiny.

Ahhhh it’s sooo pretty!!! 

Where did you order it from in the end? I haven’t ordered mine yet. Found some cheaper ones on eBay but worried they’re cheaper for a reason.

Bought waterproof leggings ?

I got it from eBay in the end, think the quality is fine, I suspect the ones on the US site would be better but I’m happy for £15.

Strained by ginfusions and they're in freshly sterilised jars to keep until the grand decantation next weekend.

Going to send an email around to my department to bring me their 500ml plastic bottles instead of recycling them next week.

[guypjfreak]

Literally just 10 minutes ago added yeast to the 20L of homebrew Berry cider.. Ready the day we leave lol 

[Crazyfool01]

done some Glasto baking/bating    ..... a trial as I haven't baked anything for over 20 years ... turned out ok except the chocolate decided it didn't want to melt ... perfectly edible though for the entry queue ... shortbread caramel thingy

I've tried to distract myself from the weather and focused on making a few repairs to my repair electro fur. 

The lights it has in it are starting to fail so threaded another lot through. Unfortunately I'm not electrically minded enough to run them through the existing circuit board so they're not remote controlled but they aren't multi coloured so it doesn't make much odds. 

Still feel I need more lights.

I do admire all of you who go to such lengths.  I would love to but ..... in the end go for practicality which suits all conditions.  In other words I'm boring.

You're only a clear poncho away from being both fun and functional

Thank you. Its the finest fashion all the way from China. 

I've learned that it's better to be bright and shiny so when I invariably get distracted  and drift away from my crew, I am quite illuminated so am easy to find.

I may be a liability at times, but at least I make it easier for my friends!

[AmyShambles]

Just bought 2 waterproof jackets....the weather thread is getting to me.

[kalifire]

Took delivery of almost all of this year’s t-shirts. One more left.

Wish I could say mine was on the mend but it still hurts like a bastard. Physio's advice is not to walk through loads of mud. he's on holiday all next week but I've booked in for the Monday before I go and will be doing all my exercises, using my newly bought tens machine and epsom salt bath to do everything I can to get better. Wish my injury was a cool one that displayed my sporting prowess but my back just went picking up the dogs water bowl and I got a full blown sciatica flare up from it.

I hear you! - Mine was week 5 of the couch to 5k - I think my lower extremities (i.e. legs/knees) finally succumbed to the weight of the upper body and decided they had simple had enough of this sh*t 

So yeah....sporting prowess is not a word I would use to describe me

I injured myself out running still sounds better than picking up a bowl. 

[MetaKate]

I just did almost 20k steps. Should be a peice of cake when Glasto rolls around. 

[damnfinecoffee]

Rummaged through all the bins down in our refuse area because I accidentally chucked my girlfriends ticket in the bin! In my defence, it was in the envelope still.... Luckily I found it, albeit a bit wet and gross.. 

Glastonbury is back on!
