What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2022?

[nikkic]

Had a cider. 

Nothing more productive than that today I’m afraid. 

Cheers everybody.

Oooh, now that is an excellent snack. 

So damn adaptable. morning tea? Stroopwafel. Just awoken from a nap and need a pick-me-up? Stroopwafel. Post work with a sneaky dark beer? Stroopwafel. After dinner and need a little sweet thing? Stroopwafel. Don’t need refrigeration, pretty robust, won’t go stale or soft, even slightly heatable to go all squidgy etc. I’m not saying they’re perfect, but they hit a lot of targets . . .

Spent two hours polishing Persie 😉

just googled what a Stroopwafel is, sounds ideal 👍

"The traditional way to eat the stroopwafel is to place it on top of a cup of hot coffee, tea or chocolate. This heats the waffle and slightly softens the syrup making the waffle soft on one side and slightly crispy on the other. Delicious! If you prefer your stroopwafel with cold milk, the answer is simple"

sub hot coffee, tea or chocolate with HOT CIDER 😅

Found the poles and the phoenix has risen. Over the moon there wasn’t 3 year old vomit to clean up inside like I thought there might be 😂

Spent most of today so far repairing the van, finding evidence of mice, chewed sheets, foam and flags. I was going to replace some wood in the garage door but I can't get the 17 year old screws out so it'll be filler on solid wood. Washed the non chewed sheets, decanted spirits into plastic bottles, treated the roof and sides to wet and forget, cleaned the water tank, sinks. Looking for a deep clean of the van after Glastonbury before I take MrsCJ away in it 😄

Very true. Dunking in a stout works too!

Tested out some giftwrap bought a while ago for this pork belly

[GlastoMom]

Found cans of Peroni in Tesco (£12 for 10 330ml) and gave them a road test - not bad! Also found a box of Henry Weston vintage cider so bought a bottle of that to try. My Blundstone boots arrived to plenty of time to walk those in.

Picked up an Anker power bank. Back down to £29.99 on Amazon after going up in price.

I'm absolutely craving one - right now. They sell good ones pretty cheaply in Lidl!

[David_303]

I"m slowly and surely getting my stuff together. I'm currently using this box to hold everything. I've found about 5 powerbanks(!)

Looks brilliantly organised. 
 

I would make sure that I left the speaker at the lockups when I wasn’t at the tent though. 

[Crazyfool01]

if you haven't yet .... today is a perfect day for getting out your tent and giving it a check/ waterproof for the gods .... give it an hour or so for the grass to dry off so its dry when you back it away

That's a decent tip. It's about about 8 years old and probably on its way out - but I'm still rather fond of it. It's not as big as it may appear in the pic!

Don't be shy about sharing the mAh or a link please if it's still a reasonable price

I'm sure there will be others needing the same 😊

About to put an Amazon order in for various bits, and going back to Decathlon.

Shit's getting real

[WestCountryGirl]

Had a casual 3.5 mile walk to meet a friend for brunch. Haven't been using the gams as much as I should so thought I'd best start giving them a stretch! 

[savethatjek]

Bought some miniature squeezy robinson’s to mix with my spirits  

[mazola]

Inflated the air beds today to see which, if any, are still fit for the job
