(Every time my sister moved, and her lilo let out a 'pfffft!' noise, anguished, she shouted out 'THAT'S NOT MY BOTTOM!')
The tent looks like a bomb has hit it, though. I don't get camping. I put something down, it vanishes into a pile of sleeping bag and rucksacks instantly.
For the moment it's dry and the festival is just waking up after a night of partying. The mud is that slippy-slidey kind and it's claiming casualties. Last night there were people just a tad worse for wear tumbling over in it, and this morning I've already seen four ambulances heading in the general direction of people sat in the mud, clutching their ankles, surrounded by worried looking friends. If you're here, or about to be here, take it steady.
Everyone in the press tent tells me gleefully that from here on in, it's going to be dry. I hope that's true, but in true Glastonbury style the rain didn't stop anyone from having a good time. Especially Darren, one of my campsite neighbours who was being shouted at by an exasperated friend trying to lever him into his tent in the wee hours of the morning.
The incredible, combustible Arcadia stage |
Michael Eavis. And some camera phones. |
The Pyramid at night. Not on fire and therefore much less interesting. |
My sister informs me that I will be going to watch someone I've never heard of today. I suppose that it had to happen eventually, that whole seeing-a-band-thing. The press tent is pretty much deserted at the moment as everyone has run off to catch Liam 'I'll never play Glastonbury again' Gallagher in the act of playing Glastonbury again.
My sister informs me she has just papped Nick Grimshaw. And yesterday she spotted Caroline Flack.
Time to sample some of the festival's food and for a bit of a wander. Moving over to Twitter for the moment, and back again later.
