Ahoy there folks!

I'm sure you have all missed me greatly since I last appeared here. I have been to Hungary with family and I'm now in Suffolk about to head down to the awesomesauce Latitude Festival.

Just wanted to say hey and all...and get a little boast in about the Festival. The weather forecast was rubbish but it's lots better now. It's not hitch-less, one tent got blown to bits so they made that stage outdoor, and my friend Martin had all but 2 people drop out of his Orchestra....still, am hopeful for good times!

one tent got blown to bits so they made that stage outdoor!

Now whoever is in charge deserves a serious High Five. I enjoy imagining that decision making process. I think it involved a very panicy underling and a decisive, mellow dude in charge.

Or dudette.

Goodstuff.

I would love to be in charge of blowing up the tent

Hope you have fun in Hungary

all but 2 people drop out of his Orchestra

That really sucks. Way to have a good attitude though!

Now it's just an Orch.

Glad they're still playing, though. You know someone's your friend when they are willing to listen to your oboe with nobody else around to drown out the noise.

True story: I knew a girl who marched bassoon in high school. It had wheels.
(I believe that was a custom job).

I'd want to hook up an instrument onto one of those motorized shopping carts and ride it in a marching band. Fun!

Hi, I'm back.

I went backstage at the Literary Tent to use the toilets (they were nicer than the pleb ones) and when I came out my friend Jo said "Do you want to sing Maggots?" and that is how I ended up 'performing' at Latitude Festival, on stage with over 20 other people, one of whom was James Franco from Spiderman, singing the word 'maggots' over and over again.

Maggots?
