vintagelaureate Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'm glad all are doing well. Sorry to hear about recent events @crazyfool1. Thanks @dizzymoo, @Funkyfairy! et al. Feeling much more positive at the moment. I'm jealous of everyone's current festival attendances, I really want to be at Boomtown next week but value my life as I genuinely think my wife would kill me if I went. ? I've spent this week just outside of London with the kids and my nephew - visited Legoland, Chessington etc. It's been a great few days but tiring! On a plus note, my family are now at the point where they presume I'm going to Glastonbury - so I just need to sort the time off and get tickets... In that order! I hope you all have a brilliant weekend. Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Jeez, bit of a rough time all round by the sounds of it I'd send squiddy hugs, but I'd be concerned by the possibility of ink related mishaps. So I'll settle for normal ones and the obligatory dose of good vibes. Feeling a bit bereft of festivals myself Vintage. After going last year I'd really toyed with the idea of taking myself off to Beautiful Days on my tod for a few days, but a wedding put the kibosh on that. Pretty booked up until end of Sep, so that's it for me. Will have to console myself with gigs instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I drove back from by London yesterday, only to discover my daughters bag (with medication) had been left in a services on the M6 toll. So promptly had to do a five hour round trip to get it! Fun times.? I discovered that the Coke energy drink is foul anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlygirl Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Morning all, back to work I go today. @dizzymoo my feet are better thank you. I’ve been really rough this week, had a stinking cold and tummy issues. I’m starting to think I’m getting too old for all of this hardcore partying. My next fest is just a day ticket to Leeds so I’m going to do it sober and see how I get on. That will be a novelty ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be like Lindisfarne's 'farewell tour', which I believe has been going since the 1980's. Glad your feet have recovered @Curlygirl. I have a tiny bit of festivalling left, including Cropredy 'fringe' this weekend, which largely consists of a few bands playing at one pub. But I can catch The Bar Steward Sons of Val Doonican for free, having missed them at Glasto. Then a day at Victorious with my bestie who doesn't do staying at festivals. Then 2 weeks in Cornwall for our first holiday in 15 years outside school holidays. Then the bit I don't want to think about, which (assuming he gets the grades) will be youngest leaving for uni. I know it's our job as parents to prepare them to leave, but why does it have to happen just as they get more civilised and interesting?

Thanks Vintage yes we're all extremely happy bunnies. Obviously uni will be a whole new set of stresses but he's overcome so much, and learned more self acceptance than most of us ever will. And he's shown up the people who said he would fail for the idiots they are. As you can see I'm completely over that now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
