Back! Smelly, unwashed and wanting to go back... So the festival, eh? The music was good and the location lovely, but the whole thing was made fantastic by the presence of a certain boyfriend. :) Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention were awesome as were many other bands, all of whom I'd need to look up the names of again. I ate many tofu burgers. :D
While we were there my parents bought a violin- yay! Only a cheap one- but it's purple! With a purple case! Atm is only has three strings as one of the pegs is stiff and, whilst I was tuning it, gave with such a jolt that it broke the string (which then whipped out and lacerated my thumb!). I also have a rather awesome Bodrhan, which I'm sure the neighbours will also come to love. *eg*
This morning it was peeing it down as we put the tent away so we got rather soaked. Eventually it was all packed up and so we pottered off in my car to get lost in country roads on our way back. This is rather more excusable than me later managing to take a wrong turn on the motorway, I feel. Just a slight detour up the country!
Tomorrow is my first day of jury service- I have been told to take many books. Knowing my luck I'll be put on the longest case in history- the kind of case that makes it into the Guinness book of records for lasting years and having Jurors die off during it.
There's enough music in this entry to warrant my scary, nekkid pianist icon. Yay!
