weather great
Having a bit of a lie in in the campervan this morning. Terrific day yesterday if somewhat tiring by the end. May spend some time resting in the van today – late afternoon maybe. Trouble is it’s a long way back from where the action is.
Saw numerous bands including Flamingods, Honne, Bear’s Den, British Sea Power, Christine and the Queens, Father John Misty, Beirut and Maccabees who were headlining the obelisk stage. Also saw comedian Al Murray who was absolutely hilarious if filthy.
Finished the night off at Keith Allen ‘s Establishment Club at the Alcove, a terrific small venue. We saw and danced to the extremely lively band Dingus (fucking) Khan who were banned last year as one of their number had peed in the portacabin the previous year. For me they were the highlight of the day with Beirut a close second.
We are already starting to feel grubby. Unlikely to see a shower for the whole weekend thought will review that one. Had a couple of problems with the otherwise great Van. Disconnected the new water pump because it started to make a funny noise. Will have to take a look when I get home..also the porta potty leaked when I used it in the night. Fortunately it has a waterproof housing so no damage. I suspect a jammed lid but will have to sort this morning before we go anywhere.
Weather forecast is great and Tom arrives today. He is working on the Fearn Cotton show on Radio 2 before heading up.
More as it happens ish.
PS turns out porta potty issue was user error which is now sorted.
