Good morning campers

What a glorious sunny morning! 

Todays update:

RAM jam jar is showing a Level of 33mm. Which is 2mm less than Friday. We had no rain over the weekend and it was lovely and warm when the sun came out so this short measure is obviously due to evaporation.

well sticky stick is well sticky. No water in the well. Stick goes into base with difficulty and is showing 4 inches of very thick almost dry mud.

Big Dog paws are dry and currently being licked. I’m sure he was a cat in his past life.

 

So if we strap oranges to the soles of our feet we wont get wet?

Dee my cat thinks she's a dog, she is also black. Wonder if Cat and Big Dog are essentially the same person?

It seems like big dog and my Nuala are kindred spirits. She also does not like to go out for walks in the rain, licks her paws and has many other cat tendencies. 

Let's hope they can join together and become a force for dryness in a world of rain. 

All Hail The Wheaten

Feel like questioning the wise methods of Dee is sacrilege, but how about emptying the Jar following each update? 

 

 

Please forgive me oh Lord!

I’d disagree.

By dropping it also shows the rate of drying out...? Itself a very important factor 

Happy to go with either suggestion. You lot are far more sciencey than me.

Ha I almost went with a banana this morning but decided it was definitely a sunshine orange day.

Different piece of fruit each day, perhaps?

Teasing us with pictures of the ground looking great and then not posting the picture... cruel

No, no, carry on!

This little patch to the right of the Pyramid stage as been my mud barometer for the site as it's pretty easy to see - it had a lot of traffic going over it and got pretty muddy last week - looks like it's trying out nicely, though! ?

Best of both worlds - start a second jar that gets emptied every update and keep the first

Hmmmm...shame recycling emptied the glass bin on Friday. I’ll see what I’ve got.

that might mean employing 2 pieces of fruit.

Wouldn't that be a Mudometer? Or a Forfucksakeometer.

I never thought that I would trust an old jamjar with a rusty handle, a school ruler and various pieces of fruit rather than all the weather experts with their satellites, computers, weather models and technology 

deebee rules! 

You forgot big dog! Don't forget big dog!

I guess it would - along with @deebeedoobee's fruit/jar/sticky stick/Big Dog combo, we're doing better than any darn "forecast"!

By the way, my entire family now has the Sticky Stick song stuck in their heads.

Great song. Gotta love a bit of Hey Duggee.

Though when I read this thread I always misread deebeedoobees name and get "Strangers in the Night"

[Penrhos]

It's going to be fine.

I just put Wellies, tow-rope and grip-track into the Campervan. Knowing full well if I left them at home I'd need them and if I take them I won't.

Although the pictures a "Friend" sent to me from the Volksworld car park this weekend did put me in panic mode for a while...
