Jay Pee Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 The best build up to the festival one could wish for and the first thing I have looked for in the morning for a couple of weeks. Cap doffed for the efforts. And Arlo the star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current weather and ground conditions in Pilton are :* HFH records 16.0 degrees at 0808 with humidity above 95%. Average temp at time of reading, over the past 21 days, is 18.0. Low of 13.3 and max 25.3 degrees. Consequent tent conditions - getting sweaty with the onset of panting and flatulence. * RAM jam jar is empty, as expected. Todays duckometer reading is 0.0 mm. The total rainfall in 21 days of June is 28mm. 15mm in a single day. Ducky has gone to the pool. * Diver is praising like he should. * Current wind condition - still. Miss Pat is currently reading Pyramid stage. Al Ci, 1 okta.* Sticky stick has left for Portugal in his bus. The Well retreats into obscurity. Ground condition is Large black dog eating rabbit scut, with the sound of buzzards thermalling. And that’s a wrap folks! Arlo, Pilton Digger and I will see you at the village fete tomorrow. Less pants, more party…… and remember to wear sunscreen. Reports have been amazing again this year Dee. I'd have been in a tizzy with all the weather nonsense, but knowing what it's actually like on the farm has kept me sane! Can't wait to buy you and @pilton digger a bevvy at some point, and Arlo a soft drink of his choice. Also can't lie, had a little tear up at the Big Dog pics this morning. The lead and collar pretty much finished me off. Muchos love and see you down there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt this had become my job - got ideas above my station 😄 Here's the graph. I can update tomorrow too. I make the total rain fall 28.5 mm due to the 0.5mm reading on June 8th. Top work Dee.

Oldie66 Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 There is light rain forecast for the whole weekend and it doesn't take much to turn the main thoroughfares into mud baths. And with the hot-ish weather we have been having we could get a rogue storm. i would take a hat. sun cream and wellies. The wellies are also handy for the toilets. There are some mucky sods out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if there’s a reliable way of finding out which beers have and haven’t used it? In short, no I don't think there's an easy way as it's used in such small quantities as a processing aid it doesn't have to be listed as an ingredient. It's also not one of the allergens we have to declare on packaging so no help that way either - sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Thank you everyone for your messages. They mean a lot. Wasn't sure for awhile if we were talking to the animals for 3 weeks. I really hope you have a great time at the fete. Don't forget to have a go on the bottle stall and hoopla. Will see some of you at the wednesday meet and others in the rave fields of the naughty corner. Adios amigos 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
