I’ve been framing a picture today for the glastonbury corner of my lounge ... will post it in a bit once I’m done .... add some led strips to it and some silver metal effect sticky back plastic ... will give it a decent effect

That's more or less done - gloss is the devil's work. Reckon I've earned the right to get shit faced in the garden.

Not been around as much lately so sorry it's late but happy birthday for Wednesday @vintagelaureate. Hopefully on your next birthday you'll be a month away from getting through the Glasto gates! 

Yes snap. Been crazy busy at work all week. Hope you had a great one @vintagelaureate

Gloss work is a nightmare, especially when you got two Persian house cats ! Trust me .

you get absolutely out of your box mate , we will have to arrange a online baby head wetting ( zoom / teams / messenger) .when your little addition arrives.

Tell me about it, we have a black lab! Drinks sounds good. 

[blutarsky]

So you prompted me to action @crazyfool1. 

The tool is there for scale, it’s approx 1/50th of the real thing, I scaled down the actual measurements. Had to enlist my neighbour for help with calculating the angles 😂 

This is the only way Skrewdriver will get close to headlining or even playing the festival. #FuckNaziPunks

Next step is paint and a stage topper - I’m thinking Michael Eavis as the sun from Teletubbies.

Anyone else who's working from home who normally wouldn't feeling like it's getting a bit much?

I can't focus on work for more than about 20 mins at a time and I just feel like I don't fully switch off from it at the end of the day. 

I've always had the option to work from home some days but never chose to as it doesn't really work for me, but now I have no option.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very aware that I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home during all this.

im not working but im off work .... I do find getting out and about very worthwhile though . have a set work area if you can and move away from it ... make sure work emails dont get you on personal devices either , and find the best time for work for you with the least distractions .

I always work from home but I am ridiculously crazy busy at the moment. Last week I was working 8am - 10:30 pm with basically just breaks for food and one dog walk. I'm shattered and it feels like I can't say no. It's not like I can say I'm going out. We had quite a few redundancies at the start as well which puts added pressure on that if you don't do stuff you could be out of a job.

Pretty much the same situation for me.

We got our hours reduced to 80% but the workload doesn't seem to have reduced to take it into consideration. I find myself doing 12 hour days most days.

Giving it to the end of this two-week sprint before drawing a line and just not doing the extra.

Yes my boss is lovely and keeps saying that I shouldn't do extra but then in the next breath tells us all the things that have to be done and the ridiculous deadline we've been given to get it done. Given I am on a temporary contract as well and was hoping to be made permanent at the end of this year it piles more pressure on.

We will get there ... will take time but we will .. hang in there gp x 

[Tartan_Glasto]

Glad to see we're in all this together folks.

I've put in for a week off the week after next. Hoping that will help. Feel like I just need a reset to help get back on track.

here here , i had loads lined up for this year , ( george clinton , killers , Queen , Glasto abbey , pilton party , New York for our wedding anniversary and of course GLASTONBURY ) , really glad we got to see stereophonics in late feb .

but as i said to mrs D only last night , we have bought and paid for all of those already for next year PLUS what ever comes up as well , 2021 is going to be busy , and of course we have the Manics free nhs concert  to look forward to this dec .

i have now re-booked the end of June off so i can watch all the Glasto coverage , it looks pretty awesome if the hype is to be believed.its still no replacement for the festival  , i know from bitter experience of not getting tickets in 17 and watching it on tv .

Yes at least we are saving money and have things planned for next year already. Fingers crossed for October. Although I was lucky enough to see some great gigs in February so I have had some great memories to look back on. Feels like a lifetime ago now though.
