What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2022?

Gone pretty pretentious by splashing a fiver on a jigger (which is apparently the name of a spirit measure).  I'm sure most of you would just do it as they would in a European bar, just generously overpour but I'm a sensitive old flower and have learnt to my cost that if I give myself a triple or quadruple each time then it could result in my day becoming a confusing mess (and not necessarily a fun way 🙂 )

A friend of mine has such a low alcohol tolerance that she takes one of these everywhere to measure drinks! It comes in handy to be fair, good for a makeshift shot glass as well.

So I took my new Anker charger to Liam at Knebworth and it only seemed to charge my iPhone 12 mini up to 80%. I didn’t put flight mode on or anything - is this normal?

as someone else said it may have slowed down the charging, but if it is a functional problem their warranty team was great -  didn't even check mine was actually broken and just sent me a new one.

Landed in London. To Somerset on Sunday!

Got myself a blister yesterday, was wearing old shoes so no idea what happened, have now stocked up on blister plasters, refuse to have hurty feet at the festival x

Digging in the shed for something to use as tarp for the worthy view scout tent "entry hall"  and googling stuff like "how waterproof is a construction tarp/picnic table tablecloth/random crap I have no clue what it was for"

Went to get a spare powerbank because they were on sale this week, realized I should have gone earlier in the week

The issue isn’t the charger rather than this setting  

 

if the charge is outside the normal window it only goes up to 80%

its in settings-> battery -> battery health

Yep, that’s it - found it now. Thanks everyone!

There's a thing from the past, pretty girls offering tequila shots

My battery operated air mattress pump arrived.  It is so wonderfully little.  Hope it does the job but even if it's slow it should work eventually.  It takes 4 batteries so I've bought 12 to be on the safe side!

Yep just found the setting for this and I would bet it’s the reason but worth checking. This is the menu, in settings, then battery, then battery health. 

Sorry just realised someone else had posted this!

Realised post not needed!

Ticked everything off the purchase list apart from booze (next weekend) and a camping chair (tomorrow)

The clock is ticking 🥳

[Tom White]

Today for me was the start of the mission to cancel the semi glamorous 'camping' I booked (I'm old so don't judge me too much) because my other half accidentally won a competition to win even better glamping.

Put together my new roofbars for the ridiculously small car I’m taking three of us in. But I’ll procrastinate for a while before putting them on the car

[One Tonne Baby]

I just finished watching Glastonbury: The Movie, which I’ve never seen before but enjoyed very much.

Probably not something on many people's packing list, but I love recording gigs that I go to so I just ordered myself a new portable recorder. Going to test it out next weekend at my mates' gig then hopefully use it at the festival to capture some of the non-televised sets I go to.

Honestly it's the only thing I've actually done to get ready yet, but next week I'm going to collect all my festival things from my mum's house. If nothing's been damaged over the last couple of years, I'm essentially good to go after that. Just need to buy a couple more portable chargers and my food for the festival.

Can't lie, I've actually not been feeling the buzz for the festival yet but I'm hoping once I get the tent out for a test-run, then the excitement will hit.

What did you go for?

[Spindles]

Bought a cheap, lightweight usb charger to power my hoodie, which I'm going to spend tomorrow adding LED lighting to.  This will either be a triumph or an unmitigated failure.

[Beerqueen]

Just ordered a fancy dress outfit for the Power Ballad Yoga and subsequent pub crawl on Thursday.  Lazy, and easy outfit but does the job.  And will probably come in handy for subsequent festivals, parties etc.

Anything with lights works …. You can’t go wrong 😀

[squirrelarmy]

Lights and fancy dress are essential Glastonbury wear

Oh God, sounds like I should up my game.  But can't be arsed I'm afraid.

Went with a Roland R-07. It was reccomended to me by somebody. Can't wait to give it a go

[northernringo]

Got my 20000 power bank, bucket hat and spare laces all sorted today.

Not much left on the purchase list thankfully

[MetaKate]

Wellll my bags are packed! I think I've got everything I need, and my bag is absolutely rammed full, but it only weighs 30lbs. I could probably lose some things but it's all buckled up so there's no going back. 

I've still got to work in the morning and have got to go get a test to say I don't have covid. Home stretch!
