Gedh Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm not sleeping well at the moment, which normally is a right pain but I now do early morning chuckles at this lot.... God knows what I will do after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilton digger Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Been out and run the ridge above the village and it is spotting at most. Dust settler only. Not sure how people judge rain but it is nowt as far as I am concerned. I know we do micro climate and Blue Gate is 0.8 miles away but it ain't raining here by the pub.

deebeedoobee Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Okay back from a refreshing if short run. It drizzled for maybe 10 minutes. The sort of rain that, when at the festival you decide to get your poncho out, fight with it, get your head in the sleeve bit, finally someone helps you out and you get it on straight, only to find the rain has stopped and you’ve got to reverse the whole scenario. the road under tree cover isn’t even damp. the cloud cover is thin, I could see blue behind. Not enough rain to measure in the gherkin yet. so far so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly bonkers that there's been a couple of reports of "hard rain" on the weather thread. I'm going to trust you two because: I've met you and you seem like nice, trustworthy people to me I prefer your story It looked fine on the webcam, easy to see the Tor I'm not worried 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint northover Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 The diffrence beetween any other festival and Glastonbury is summed up by efestival, this thread, the weather thread and glasto chat. We all want the same thing and appreciate glastonbury no matter the weather. I've done my poor wife's head in since last October when I got a golden ticket. Now my kids have taken on my same passion for it and they haven't even been yet my daughter has planned her list of must see acts, while over the past two weeks I've done my check list of things I need for the festival. Don't worry I will still be panicking till Monday night constantly watching this thread and the weather thread while watching Countryfile tonight. To all the people on here doing updates thank you and I cannot wait to share the farm with my kids on wenesday and the rest of the festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder how much Michael and Emily sleep over the course of the festival ? and do they have a reserve sleeping area so they dont have to do the walk of shame back to the farmhouse ?

I used to come home from V for the night - it was only half an hour drive and I didn't mind not drinking as they only sold crap beer (and of course you couldn't take your own in, officially anyway).

Gedh Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 The sheer joy I get from these forums and the nutters on it is marvellous. You can't be as obsessed with "normal" people as you wonderful weirdos. Gold is a teeny price to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course only Emily lives in the farm house all year round. Michael owns the house just outside the fence. Whether they return home of a night I have no idea. But if they do they would surely have a land rover to drive them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
