Never actually tried this myself but pleased we’ve not got Carlsberg! Will have to give this a go 👌🏻

It’s pretty a pretty refreshing pilsner and will definitely go down well from the bars on a hot summers day. Much better than Carlsberg that’s for sure.

working out some hat stats and doing some glue gunning of EL wire onto my suit jacket

Got the bike trailer out and went to the park with the kids in it. The park is at the top of a big hill, not to steep but long, probably pyramid stage to the top of big ground. Did it last summer and was fine, needed a couple of rests this time. Kids grow a lot in a year

Finally looked at last years pictures and got happily excited…

Took the kids to Legoland and got soaked wet through whilst looking at this, which I’m hoping isn’t a sign of things to come.

Also need to get a new waterproof jacket…

Make perfect sense now. Stone Henge in the interstage area.

Acquired a carp fishing trolley (I don't fish) and upspecced the suspension to solid tyres and built a "royal box" for my Granddaughter. Painting it up Sunday.

Mafe, I know, I have also crossed a Rubicon. I'm 53 and have never taken a trolley to a festival ever but the granddaughter arriving has resulted in a game change.

Wife and I normally attend on our own and March to the beat of our own drum. Three generations coming to bearded theory in a few weeks and the logistics just become more complex. I am going to paint the box in British Racing Green and then artistic wife will fully festivalise with lights on every surface.

It's only going to be used at Glastonbury for moving kit from car to camp site. I'm on site for ten days and need to bring a bit more shit this year to manage that.

Apologies, here goes…..

Tastes like beer. Not a shit beer, but one I’d like to drink.

Thanks sir. 

Another review…..

The can says “crisp beer”, tastes nothing like crisps .

Attempting to find some summer outdoor festival vibes by camping in East Sussex, watching the sun sink behind the trees.

Designed and ordered a new tent flag

[El Weirdo]

Got the tent up anyway. Decided to do it on my own as I suspect my daughter who's coming with me will be quite close to useless on the day.
