Rain and gale force winds predicted :p Hurrah! Should be a fun evening tho. And I have my trusty Barber - I may not look quite so Hip and Cool and Down with the Kidz in it, but I will at least stay dry. I have a feeling however that the 'sheeting' they're putting down to stop a mud bath may just turn into a giant paddling pool, but does one want to go to the wellies extreme? I'll end up looking like I've wandered in from the local hunt or something ;p

And of course with all the loyalist feuding going on, there's always the chance someone will get shot again. Or rather pay his lackeys to graze his ear with a bullet so he can look Hard While Under Fire.
Ah Johnny we do miss you sometimes (but not for long ;p), at least your weak attempts at self promotion were good comedy value.

edit! 4pm (ish) and it has stopped raining! now if it only holds off for the rest of the evening... (yes, unlikely, I know)

But there is nothing quite so awful as wet feet!!! Aldo, wellies are Cool and Hip (admittedly only if they're Louis Vuitton or Gucci)! Get some pink ones with flowers! :P

I HIGHLY recommend wellies: they are down and cool with the kids that know what festivals are like, none of these first-timers. They are the only reason we survived Reading Fest. last year.

You could always paint hippy flowers or band logos on them in nail varnish ;)

We did the Wet Feet thing at Nick's bbq this year. I can vouch for Kana that it is quite unpleasant, to say the least.

Heh, my wellies are purely functional, black and muddy :p No flowers or girly pinkness at all!

However as it is STILL raining, I may yet dig them out as wet feet do indeed suck. Hmm. I wonder what I did with my old german para boots - they have the advantage that as well as being waterproof, it doesn't matter if people jump on your toes ;p

Still attached to the German para, perchance? They want him back eventually, you know...
