“We have such a long way to go” said the Diver, “But look how far we have come” said the Cow “another 4 hours and we should see Red Gate”.

Temperature at 0700 am is 17.5 C and humidity is 68%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is recorded as 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar is becoming a dust trap, there seems to be an accumulation of Bournemouth beach in the bottom. Looks like sand but I am not bored enough to taste it yet.

 

 

 

 

The Well is still dry and the diver has applied for a position at Showerings, where they make Brothers. He asked if a rubber suit was a problem when he goes into the tanks to clean them and was told it can’t make the pish taste any worse. Today, we have an educational feature.

 

 

 

 

Pilton Pat indicates a very light breeze towards Croscombe. Cloud 1/8, bit of thin Cu. The sky has a bonus contrail for all those nutters to get excited about. It is sort of Nemophila Menziesii blue today.

 

 

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  It is arid, desiccated, parched. After a week wearing flip flops at Magaluf, the bottom of your feet dry.

Bushy habit....how very 1970's.

“What’s your best discovery” said the Diver, “That I am enough as I am” said the Cow “and that Empire State Bastard are playing”.

Temperature at 0854 am is 17.3 C and humidity is 70%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is recorded as 0 mm. The Ram Jam Jar has not been disturbed for 16 days, Michael is starting to come unstuck from the Aldi Frosties packet backing and the spiders are back. It remains all good, it is not a heatwave, it is called Summer.

 

 

The Well is still dry and the diver is now on a zero hours contract at Showerings, where they make that Brothers rubbish. If the "product" tastes better next week it is because he is pissing in the tanks. Here is a picture of a particularly good cake I had in that London.

 

 

Pilton Pat is becalmed and pointing at the Tor. Cloud 0/8. The sky is Halfords Gadget Blue RAL 5012.

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 on the moist-o-meter.  we are happy with consistency for ten days.

The most boring, yet welcome, chart ever

[Phoenix Girl]

Like the Maceo info, didn’t know that. Although I’ve never been and am never likely to go to Maceos to be fair. 

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

I really want cake now….

Harder than rock salt! Dustier than dusty bin, hotter than an angry mount Etna.

Even the short showers over night has done nothing 

[pilton digger]

it is fine

[Avalon_Fields]

Excellent news!

That definitely isn't a haiku 😉

“What’s do we do when our hearts hurt?” asked the Diver, “We wrap them with friendship, shared tears and time” said the Cow “but mainly stop the Class A intake”.

Temperature at 0826 am is 18.9 C and humidity is 80%. Rainfall in last 24 hours is recorded as a bit, maybe 0.1 mm. The Ram Jam Jar was damp this morning, if tilted a drop formed at the side.  Michael's boot soles are slightly moist. There were a few showers on site last night, a dust settler at most.  The ground is still Chuck Norris and the tracks are now dust free.  It amounted to nothing although sounded louder on the van roof. The big Muriel thing on the pyramid field may have smudged a bit, it is done in chalky paint stuff that will wash off. The science types on the weather thread will probably be suicidal....

 

 

The Well is still dry and the diver got a bit excited, a little bit of wee came out which is an issue inside a rubber suit.  He was going to do a hole inspection but it is still so dry that he would wreck his helmet trying to force entry. He went back to bothering the duck, inter species is a thing apparently for him. A picture from site.

 

 

Pilton Pat is again becalmed indicating Totterdown Lane, nary a breath disturbs her slumbers. Cloud 7/8. The sky is Johnstone's non drip gloss Manhattan Grey - 0.75L £15.99 from the Range.

 

 

Pokey Twins read no.1 and a little bit on the moist-o-meter.  The underwhelming showers had made the pointy thing move slightly but it is nothing to tell your significant other about.

give us a chance. Good to see you around again.

Last nights rain was loud enough to wake me up in my house, but by the time I emerged for coffee this morning, everything is bone dry again. My lawn appears to be a tiny bit greener, but that could be my imagination 🙂

I'm going to have to water the garden this evening. The soil is just sucking up any iota of rain we get and it's bone dry again now after a big soaking this morning.

Due to circumstances entirely under the management's control, this mornings update is not the usual. I understand the crushing disappointment of not seeing the usual blathering with random pictures. Instead, for one day only, we are live from Worthy Farm (applause)

All figures are entirely made up, are a best guess and may not (like the author) be connected to reality.

Temperature at 0827 is about 18c (a guess). Humidity is 53.476%. There is no wind worth mentioning, even up the top of the site. The sky is bright with lovely blue breaking through. It is a bit Bedlington Terrier clippings on a swimming pool floor  (please see picture). Pylons will be an additional charge.


I have no idea what the well is doing, it will be dry. The picture below is from Pennards, feet (Mizumo Wave Rider 23, 378 miles ran, cushioning shot) provided for scale and so you can see how big my crack is. Bring a big feckin hammer.


No site spoilers provided, here instead is a picture of a pole which i predict makes you smile. You forget about the details.

What passes for normal service will resume tomorrow. Sorry.

HAIKU

Worthy Farm morning
Stillness sits, blackbird singing
Anticipates you

A dry crack and a pink pole?  You spoil us.

Have just told my daughter to buy some stronger tent pegs!

Those are chasms

Rain ain’t gonna do sh*t to this ground

They'll be finding small children down those cracks well into July.

It’s a tent peg killing year!
