    It was gorgeous hot weather all Friday and Saturday and most of Sunday until Motorhead and Billy Idol came on when it was torrential. then it came nice again for Aerosmith.
    The entire site became an utter quagmire in about an hour, I was up on the disabled viewing platform watching everyone slipping and sliding about. Getting out of the site up the hill back to the camp sites was interesting!

    ive been lucky enough to have dropped on sunshine all the times i have been to festivals.

    i think that everyone should go to a festival at least once in their life, it is such an amazing experience.

    Evening,

    have finally got in to the swing of things! Done the three fish cupboards, sorted out half my room - I am a filthy cow to honest my carpet was DISGUSTING!!!!

    Been told I need a bigger tank/pond for the goldfish so got to sort that out at some point. Planned the fish pond about fifty times in my head actually think I have a workable idea now :)

    best get on still living in a tip.

    Surely that means you HAVE to go to that special little fish shop now seeing as though you need more stuff for the fish:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Hello Smartypants!

    Yes it does, will need lots of advice!

    Meanwhile I am trying to reorganise my room (Yes Again. Its SUCH fun...) to fit the temp tub in where I won't fall over it constantly.

    You doing ok Lou ? xx

    OK Buffy, I have come to the conclusion that you must live in Fenwicks shop window the amount of times you re-arrange your room:eek::p

    I am fine Buffy, went to see a David Bowie tribute band on Friday with OH and the neighbours and if you ignored the fact that in the first half the singer looked more like Rod Hull and in the second half more like John Inman than David Bowie then they were fantastic. Really got the voice and music spot on. OH is a huge fan and was very impressed.

    Last night out with best girlie night out friend who has also just returned from Florida for the first time so we basically talked each others heads off all night.

    Tonight we have watched the new Karate Kid film............ermmmm what can I say.
