Will dig out my Flossy's from 2008

[Little Andy]

Gosh this weather is looking perfect for me! Just gotta decide now if I dare not bring walking boots.

[MEGABOWL]

Wait wait wait. I look away for a bit and we’re now getting regular runs with no rain and light winds?! Mild temps be damned, that’s glorious news!

[svphie]

I've just waterproofed a sh*t load of my kit in the garden. you're welcome

[tarw]

Just set up on site now. Regretting taking the mallet out of the packing pile last week now. If it carries on like this until Wednesday you might need hard ground pegs!

When Monday is no longer in the Met Office Long Term range.

Glastonbury Wellie boot seller reads the weather forecast

[wozwebs]

So, after all the faffing this past week are we know saying it's trainer weather all the way?

[losscorchio]

I've just cleaned my wellies anyway, as a sacrifice of course...

I cleaned mine last week. The wife asked me why I bother as only going to get dirty again.

 

I told her not to worry about wiping next time she went to the toilet. Same logic.

 

She's filed for divorce since, unfortunately.

Glasgow, your sacrifice is very much appreciated

 

[Drew3232]

Can't believe how brill the forecasts have turned out. It's amazing what can happen when a bunch of people suffering extreme anxiety literally beg the universe and the weather Gods to make things right. Sacrificing first born child, etc, but SO worth it.

Having done this several times I now go with first born remaining child, but it's worked for a few years now

Doing my bit...

Last week's mud and piss has now been cleaned off my walking boots. 

Mac in a sac packed.

Poncho in a sack packed for if it's really bad

And I still won't let OH buy sun cream "We'll take the little bit we have and get more there, can't upset the weather gods!!!"

There's starting to be a lot of posts like this and it's giving me the heebie-jeebies. I studied meteorology and can tell you that the most important factor is the weather gods. We are so, so close. Don't f**k this up people!!!

Was going to leave my wellies and big coat in the car but decided it was too risky and brought them onsite. It’s my offering.

I’ve brought my wellies every year since 2016 and I’m not stopping now, it’s clearly working

Totally agree. Got boots, wellies and trainers. Never anger the weather gods.’ In a travelodge near Birmingham and it’s bloody roasting, car boot full of footwear, rainwear ponchos hats umbrellas,  can’t see us needing them !
