I’ve been pinged twice by the app over last couple of days … so after first ping got a pcr done … and it’s negative … also as I’m double jabbed I’m able to not isolate … it’s weird though carrying on as nothing happened …. Likely from beautifull days

I’ve been through three apps so far, the English one, the Scottish one and the one on Jersey.  Never been pinged once but then realised you need to delete the apps not relevant to where you are or it won’t work. Then relnstall the app where you are. Why the hell they can’t have the same app is beyond me. And I can’t get a digital vaccine record either.  Up here we’ve to apply for a paper certificate which is posted to you. Probably inscribed  In copperplate writing on dried goatskin.

Anecdotal evidence of nothing in particular.

Just saying with the  free movement of people throughout the same country it would be common sense  to have the same app .

Now, this is a bit specialist, not for the feint hearted.

FIVE, yes five, hours of Mike Vallely. This is too much for most people!

I for one am up for this. Simply one of the most interesting human beings. I'm more than happy to listen to get FIVE hours (in spurts )

Good News.

Reporting from the fields of Warwickshire, at Camper Calling, on the great espresso martinis in a can taste test!

#1 not technically an espresso martini but my favourite & currently unable to buy anywhere; Bailey's iced latte 

#2 MOTH - small can @ £4 a pop!

#3 Khalua - ok at a push but the flavour & kick not on a par with the MOTH one.

Ooof the Bailey's lattes are by far the best festival breakfast drink but alas I haven't been able to find any for a couple of years 😕 even online stores say sold out so they may have been discontinued...

I'll start saving up for the Moth ones for next summer😅

Written within that advert is the line:

“Wake me up, and then f*** me up!”

I cannot recall ever having one of these alcoholic latte type drinks ever before. I need to try these out, and fast.

The good news is the Vegan Camp out element.

Nothing to do with meat old son.. It's their age.. Bloody kids.... Some of the videos coming out show how stupid and disrespectful they are... Let's hope they grow out of it before they get to glasto...... 

Glastonbury used to be that bad but thankfully its changed for the better but only really in 2019.. Before that glasto was a nightmare at the end..

But 

Things are looking better.....

There are some really nice and really expensive tents abandoned here - that's nuts

[Crazyfool01]

just need educating ... the same way people at Glastonbury were .... the youngsters can do it just as well as the adults .... they are the ones longer term that will be living with the consequences ... needs a step change from the festivals organisers though ...

The thing is you buy a tent for xxxx amount between xxxx of you and you live, sleep in their case piss and wreck it and come Monday who is going to be want to take it home.. It's cost you say 30..40 squid.. Its wrecked and no more use so they just leave it and buy another one together for the next festival...

I finally had time to pick up the paint & brushes again!

For your viewing pleasure; a currently unnamed new Glastonbury painting!  It might not even be finished yet but it had been on the easel in my kitchen mocking me for months!

Acrylic paint on 40cmx51cm canvas panel 😁

I watched the Documentary on Bob Ross the other day.  Such a soothing voice. I have visions that it is like you, minus the perm

He was such a joy, absolutely love Bob Ross!

I'm very much the polar opposite of Bob unfortunately... more Gordon Ramsay with my foul mouth & quick temper 😉

Ta , but it’s all in the subject, and the fact that since retiring I’m always out walking!

This is crying out for a disco ball to be rapidly and surreptitiously put up soon after the shop opens in the morning;

Some good news… I got married! And the weather was absolutely incredible for it too! 
I wanted to share one of our wedding gifts with you all as I know you’ll all appreciate it. My friend drew this from scratch, must have taken her AGES!
