I like pictures so I don't really care as long as people realize the utter futility of comparing weather. it is weather not conditional probability.

Makes me feel better though 🙂

I can't decide if the dragon is wooing the horsey or threatening it.

I'm taking Rick Hard as my stage name. Hoping to play the Croissant Neuf stage on Sunday morning.

“We all need a reason to keep going said the Cow, “What’s yours?” “that QOTSA set on Sunday, Elton can kiss my ring” said the Diver.

Temperature at 0826 am is 15.3 C and humidity is 74%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar is unchanged, Micky E’s boots are starting to hum and his liking for rubber doesn’t help.

 

The Well is barren. The Diver has been told to report for a job search club in Wells and he is still suffering from last night’s crystal and pagan’s party. here is a picture of a nice cow I saw on my run yesterday.

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Red Gate. Cloud 0/8. Its that sort of blue tiling you see in a swimming pool in Torquay in May.

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  Biscuits fruit with added DKP.

Dare I say it, looks like it could do with a few days rain now.

they don't mean anything really, it is just an alternative to the endless weather chart porn. I just tell you what is actually happening in Pilton (as opposed to Yeovilton etc) and add some random stuff.

Spoiler alert - it will all be OK, weather happens every day and pretty pictures won't change anything.

Any more updates on Micheal's view of the festival. Does he still think it's going to be a wet one?

 

Also I LOVE the updates!

no, but I will see a number of on site workers over the weekend and will ask for any updates on anything relevant.

There's a delighted audience who lap them up. 

Tbh I suspect if you pasted it into a jpg and shared on insta or twitter (with a tag so they can't remove your credit) that they would be very popular

I'm about forty miles north and thought I'd take a picture of how dry the ground is in the local farm...

There is a very "ex military" spin there. Blot, bang, rub. Carry on

It shows shows someone is reading the words. We may go Jack Speak tomorrow. Not decided yet.

Dare I skip on the walking boots and just bring trainers? Can always buy wellies on site if it gets wet. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nope. Don't go anywhere near that farm without footwear that can deal with mud.

Thinking of trading the van for one of these
