If it wasn't for the 'Rona, today I would be...

Christ that makes it even worse! I feel lucky that I can just put a forwarding message in my out of hours and be done with it then. Let's hope you can have a full week next year! 

Let's hope so... but I need to get tickets in the resale first! Cheers!

Heading towards Paddington station on the tube to catch the train to Castle Cary, then on to Worthy View. No early queue for me.

Much appreciated! Thank you.

This time last year I was treated to a completely empty Pennards Hill.

You wouldn't believe it... I was waiting from February for it! I had joked saying it would be on Glastonbury day all year, but not actually expecting it. The only reason I hadn't gone with my mates was the 'tiny' chance I'd get the phone call! It could only come up to 11am so I had an agreement with my boss I could leave at 11.10am. The car was packed, alcohol loaded... literally 10.47am the phone rings... 

Broke me! 

That's awful! Ofsted?

Yep. So getting the leave is a nightmare anyway, I do all kinds of additional hours and days to get it granted (at least one day is unpaid too!). 

[Kalopsia]

Well it must be a sign, I've just cracked my favourite glass but look at the shape it's created!

Just out of interest where is the villagers gate, over the stone stile and up by Tithe Barn?

No, we used to be able to go in that way, through a vehicle gate. Now it’s near the skate park.

This just popped up as a memory on FB. 5 years ago today, a pretty quiet Michaels Mead and the weather was exactly the same as it is today.

This morning, I would've woken up after staying the night in Bristol. Getting on the coach from the station. Normally we go from Bath, but this year I had no other option due to ticket demand.

By now, I'd have met my friends coming from the coach in Bath outside of the queue. Quick re-arrangement of bags so that my friend isn't carrying the entire weight of the camping gear before getting in the Gate A queue.

Instead, I'm sat in my boiling home office in my 3rd of 6 Teams calls of the day. Can we fast forward until 2021?

We should be there now  today is gunna be hard I think

I would be set up by the fence in the lower far right corner of Bushy Ground after getting onsite about 11ish from Southampton. And in this weather I would be having an 'I am finally here' Glastonbury beer while sunbathing nude around my tent after checking with my neighbours that they don't mind living next door to a naturist (they never do!). 

[windy_miller]

I'm not sure what's worse... Not having a ticket (like last year), or having a ticket and the festival is cancelled.

3 years off (including a fallow year in 2018) in a row now.  Its rubbish 😞

Same for me too!! Next year we are gonna have to do some serious partying to make up for it

 

Very sad tho x

[squirrelarmy]

I’m making the most of the situation. 
 

[sime]

Right now I would be snoozing in my tent before making plans for the evening.

[gmb1992]

Drunk! Probably seeking shade in the Avalon Inn... my favourite bar  

Instead I've got my head stuck in spread sheets and charge sheets...2020 SUCKS

Jesus Christ, I don’t know how I’d cope with that. Either break down and cry or try to kill the poor messenger. 
 

My hearts genuinely bleeds for you. 

[Larraht]

I've been doing this all day.. Right now I would be... 

 

Right now I would be.. Probably enjoying a cider in a wooded area given how hot it is! We would be getting ready for our deluxe diner meal before watching the fireworks. 

It's been a really tough day.

Wednesday is the best day too! 
 

remember last year going for a long walk (funny walk as we call it) about 11-3am just chatting to people. God I miss it!!

[croiz]

Oh woe...

The hangover would be lifting and I'd be thinking about (more) grub and a cider...

 

[sime]

Right now I would be nudin up at Lost Horizons. Probably sunbathing but could be dancing away clothed just by the sun to a band playing on their groovy stage area or naked trampolining...! I'm doing my best creating naked Thursday at home but I am really missing being in that lovely space right now!
