Day 26

Today I went in town with mum, did some shopping, had some dinner, then went to see Harry Potter!

I'd say read the book, before you see it, I hadn't and as such wasn't entirely sure what was going on in parts of it. From what I've heard the book is like, this film needed to be more violent, which is always a good thing. The acting was better at least, and the film was really really funny in places. So that coupled with an enjoyably large amount of Rupert Grint in this film made it okay. Definitely see it if you're a Potter fan, but don't try and convert someone who isn't with it, they'll think you're an idiot liking a film with no beginning or end.

Day 25

Still very little going on I'm afraid. I put up the tent and dried it out, then took it down and utilized some MAD SKILLZ in getting it, it's poles AND the pegs all back in the bag it came in. BOO-YA!

I also spent a lot of time sitting in the conservatory looking at the garden, much like a crazy old woman. I was thinking I'd love to get a cat the other day too....

I just watched Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Being a girl I am required to like this film, and it was good. I am now, however, very annoyed about boys, because you're all RUBBISH and I never know what you want me to do to make it as blindingly obvious what I want, and you never make it clear what you want, BAH! 

...aaaaand relax. Here's a lovely scene for you

Days 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24

Day 20

I came home today! Winona and I are hanging out with my parents, fun fun fun! :)

Have a somewhat crap photo or my room (Come oooonnn, I was tired!)

Winona was really good on the train too in her little box. Was asleep by Bridgend and pretty much didn't wake up again till I put her in her cage here! I'd started to worry she'd died from the stress. On a vaguely related note, thanks Sven for putting up with me being a rubbish whiney girl type and helping me, you're lovely!

Day 21

Preparations for 2000 Trees begins! People arrive, bags are packed, the weather turns...

Amongst all this excitement I make up some time with my cacti, who are all doing worryingly well having been re-potted recently by mum, they'll take the place over soon.

I make no apologies for being childish.

Day 22

2000 Trees!! wooooo! Up stupidly early and off for some beer, bands, buds and ..... photos. The weather is shite, but not so bad as to make it unbearable, the food is amazing, and I'm having lots of fun not being all sad and alone. Particularly enjoied Crazy Arm, Amplifier, The King Blues, Big Blue Sun and having a picture from last year in the program this year. Not so enjoyable was Rolo Tomassi, Fightstar, not being in the mood for the Headphone Disco, and....

 

... too many photographers! Jesus christ! I hardly took any, which is a shame, but I just felt so unnecessary. I took this while abusing my back-stage privileges and sitting on the inside of the barrier to watch The King Blues. 

Day 23

Day Two of festival and it's HELLO SUNSHINE! Woohoo! Lovely lovely, wandering about listening to a few bands, eating some pie from Pie Minister. Pie Minister are awesome, if you ever come across one of their shops or stalls, buy a pie, get mash and gravy too, amazing! I thought I like Pie Minister pie, but apparently Geoff loves it even more than I do!

Particularly enjoyed Oxygen Thief, Jim Lockey & the Solemn Son, Aspen Sails, Imperial Leisure, Dananananaykroyd (I was playing the 'snappy media way to sum them up' game in my head and got 'Cheerful Noise-mongering Scamps', come on NME, you know you want me), and Napoleon IIIrd, and most defiantly the time filling interlude from the Leaf Lounge Stage Manager.

Day 24

Get all packed and the tend down just in time for it to start shitting it with rain, skillz. Sorry to anyone who went to the welsh food place for a breakfast buttie after me, I had the last of the bread, muhahahaha! Got home nice and early before the shite weather set in.

The sunburn came up properly today, got some mad tan lines that include ones from my necklace, my glasses, and I've even burnt my fingers. Unprotected sunshine is BAD. The most strange to have to explain whenever i wear a skirt over the next few weeks is this:

Wellies, long socks, and leggns did this. Wear sun creme kids, this hurts, as does my face, and my finger.

what an epic post!

Day 19

FAIL! sorryyyyy!

Was going to be a pleasing interlude of some pictures of Winona anyway, so you've not missed much. I'm gonna have loooooaaaaads of pics from 2000 Trees after this weekend, so I hope that will make up for it. 

ta ta!

Day 18

Did quite a lot today. didn't leave the flat, have a wash, or get dressed though, so I'm still a disgusting failure of a human being. I watched the rest of Diary if the Dead (I'm getting better, this one was only 2 sittings), it was a bit shit, but the bonus disc was quite interesting, almost made up for it.

I then made two, yes TWO stews because the veg I had was going a bit funky (funky veggies, teehee). Think I've sorted out the issues with the recipe for what is Stew 2 here (the one closer). It usually has sausages in, but I'm not eating meat, so Quorn it is, all you need to do is whack in a MASSIVE LUMP OF BUTTER to make up for all the fat that comes out of sausages, haha.

yum! I'm serious, it's tasty.

I also cleaned out all of Winona's cage, she went a bit bonkers as she tends to whenever the opportunity arises.

Clean out Sharpey tomorrow and pack for Festival, woohoo!

Day 17

Day 16
