Time to Face The Music

It was late when we arrived last night but we still enjoyed ourselves.

We were amongst the last to arrive so we are quite a walk from the main arena areas but that is fine by us.

We caught up with some people we met last year and had a few catch up drinks which was nice.

Today we are going to have a look around the vans. There are over 500 to be going at! We will have a look around the stalls aswell. They have entertainment on all day.

It will be a full English for breakfast when the boys get up. Plenty of snoring from them both still so don't expect that will be any time soon.

Dinner later is a bbq.

We need to be careful with the dog today. It is forecast to be hot and sunny all day and being on the runway of an airfield there is no shade. We will keep popping back to the van to cool him off I think.

We had an amazing time at the festival yesterday. It was very hot though with hardly any shade.

We are back home now. The van is back on the drive with the tanks emptied. I will clean it on Friday when I have the day off work.

We filled the van with diesel and LPG on the way home ready to head to Norfolk on Friday evening.

There is a load of washing drying on the line. Don't think it will take long today.

I think we are meeting up with some friends this afternoon. Not sure where yet.

I have foolishly decided to do a roast dinner later. Roast pork today. Will be hot in the kitchen later!

Back to work today. Thankfully it's a short week for me. Only three days to do this week.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is pork in black bean sauce with noodles and spring rolls.

Tonight's jobs are:

walking the dog
weekly shop

I'm looking forward to having a sit down and chill out after work tonight. It seems to have been a long and busy few days.

The weather looks cooler after a very hot weekend which we are glad about. I think we have both had our monthly quota of sunshine!!

It was certainly festival weather wasn't it! Glad you had a fantastic time!

We were both glad of the cooler weather yesterday. We both had a much better nights sleep for the cooler temperatures overnight. Even got under the duvet!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is minty chicken with vegetable rice and garlic and ginger stir fried vegetables. This should use up the last of the pok choi and rainbow chard from the garden. We will plant some more when we get back from Norfolk.

Tonight's jobs are:

walking the dog
dropping in on some friends on the way home

Today is one of those rare occasions where we could do with two cars on the road.

I have to take the dog to the groomers later so have had to take the other half into work and will have to pick him up again later. Its a bit of a faff today to be fair. I will be backwards and forwards on the A57 for a lot of it.

This morning I am aiming to blitz the housework and the gardens. First load of washing is drying now in the drier, im hoping to hang the second load on the libe later.. I'm having a quick coffee then going out to cut the grass and pick some weeds. Then it's vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and dusting. I did the kitchen last night.

Lunch is going to be goat curry on a jacket potato then I must walk the dog and get him to the groomers for 1pm.

On my way home again I will call in at the farm shop and pick up some bacon and eggs to take away with us.

The dog will be ready by about 3pm and then we will be ready to go and pick the other half up from work. Might have time for a walk in the park before he is finished.

We are having an easy dinner tonight of burgers with chips, onion rings and coleslaw.

A busy day ahead.
