I was just in the supermarket when the lady in front of me at the checkout turned and said "You look like you're off to Glastonbury". I was stunned; what gave it away? Was it the 18 cans of beer, the waterproof clothing, the 6 boxes of cereal bars, the pack of energy drink, the batteries, the wet wipes or the disposable cameras? No. I think what did it were the two boxes of flat packed toilet paper. Yes, I know we are supposed to be given some free at the festival itself but at 3am when you gotta go...
The sun was shining as I left the supermarket and has been all day. It was just like this in 2005 when a glorious Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday gave way to a hideous Friday morning and a dubious Saturday. So it is this year, with rain and thunderstorms forecast (often with glee by those not coming).
With any luck we should be there this time tomorrow. With any luck...
