Wife thinks she has covid.

 

I was back at work today and felt like crying. Nothing out of the ordinary for post-Glastonbury, except my right ankle is twice its normal size. Radiologist diagnosed it as Flexor Tensosynovitis. Recommended no running for a week, shitloads of ibuprofen and not to go to Glastonbury as “aren’t you nearly 50?”

I feel like I'm dying..

 

Got two blisters on my left heal from the long walk back from Arcadia to Hitchin hill campsite (when it shut).

 

I'm coughing up what looks like soil (probably from the amount of dust breathed in).

 

I clocked up over 120,000 steps in four days - I usually do < 30,000 a week.

 

Knackered my phone and had to buy a new one today.

 

And to top it all tested +ve for covid this morning.

Made it through the whole festival from Monday to Monday with just sore tired feet until I tripped  up on some stupid persons metal tent peg they left in the ground yesterday in the campsite. Went flat on face, bloody nose and now 2 black eyes. 🙄 😩

Sounds like a Greek centre forward.😉.  I think the hard ground has contributed to a painful ankle I’ve ended up with. But certainly not complaining about it, a lot better than mud.   The dust was a bit of an issue, causing a bit of a cough. Didn’t see the ground getting sprinkled with water as I’ve seen in the past when it’s hot.

The sun got to me on Saturday. Heat exhaustion, made me feel feverish despite a normal temperature. when the sun went down i got so cold my teeth were chattering and I had to put on quite a few layers just to stop shivering. Had sunday been another hot day I think i would have been in trouble. It took a lot out of me and I didnt get to do half the things i wanted to do on Sunday because of it.

Ah sh*t, that sucks.  I took a drunken stumble Sunday night not seeing a fence support and doing an impressive fall that involved bouncing off fencing before hitting the deck, few cuts and bruises but I suspect my more cavalier attitude to muscle control at the time prevented anything more serious than the amusement of people around me (and concern, thank you to people who checked I was ok).

I'm really really tired. Like struggling to open my eyes levels of tired despite sleeping all day yesterday and having a good night's sleep the last two nights. 

 

Ivw got no idea if I'm ill or it's just mad sleep deprivation during the festival (I actually had some early nights)

Just tested positive for COVID and my mate has too.  Feel a bit rough and just thought it was down to overindulgence.

Yep same here. I have Covid, and feeling all the symptoms of fatigue, no smell or taste, chesty cough, headache etc.

    • Wednesday is a nice addition imo
    • Kronenberg in a tent as well IIRC but Brooklyn Pilsner was easier to get without queueing and was everywhere across the festival.
    • I think they'll end up doing something due to pressure and bad PR. Maybe they do a discount code for next year or bar credit or something along those lines.    I agree though. I acknowledge that the lineup is huge but surely you can't cancel 33% of the headliners and not reimburse in some way. Their insurance will probably cover their fees for MA, Doja, Bad Gyal and Mac DeMarco due to force majeure. 
    • Looks like nothing for weekend ticket holders. You'd expect a goodwill gesture. 
    • Enough has been covered about how much of a sh*t show that was, so I'll just say, Massive Attack and it's relationship with this festival (and potentially me) are f**king cursed.    They were announced in 2020 when I first got excited about seeing them. They were subsequently on the poster for 21, 22 and now 26. This time I was in actually in the crowd close to the stage waiting for them twice haha. I give up!
