Yes the time has arrived the tent is in the front door, the bag has been packed, camping stove checked and in good working order, the ticket still pinned up on the gig notice board in the kitchen. People T time has arrived this a time tomorrow i will be standing in King Tuts Wah Wah Hut watching The Maccabeees (who just happen to be from down the road. The excitment is a getting a bit much, carebear has told me to shut up, i have been pracyising my random high fives most of the day.
Spent most of yesterday with the rest of the troops deciding who's taking what, i as usual wil be supplying the dilute juice,lilo's and pee mates for the girls, Caz is supplying the beer,Krissy the booze,Funky the weed and J.B is supplying the pasta and dolmio for a late night munch.
I know it's a bit early but carebear is away to Greece next year so were booking up for Glasto,TITP,Connect and any other festivals we can get too.
Should say thaty i will be smoking weed this weekend even though i have being do so so so well but hey such is festival life with the spagetti loops. Weather forecast is good but still packed the waterproofs just incase.

I watched the memorial service for Micheal Jackson there and yes it ws emotional as well as entertaining. Not entertaining in a sick way but with all the artists and speakers it was very well done. A few times i felt myself weling up but managed the whole deep breathes to keep it at bay, the bit that got me was when his Daughter Paris shared her love for her father. Oh how the tears rolled down but hey i'm human i'm 32 and was more or less brought up with his music. I never bellieved for one minute that he done anything sordid to the children he was accused of abusing, i think he was just very niave and a true peterpan. Dont leave comments telling me i'm wrong about that, i have my own opinion and i'm not getting dragged into a blog arguement.
He truly was an amazing person so what if he bleached his skin,it's a common thing believe it or not.Who cares if he had plastic surgery,trust me the world is'nt full of surgeons just because of him.
I do wonder though about his children, watching the service Latoya seemed to be playing mother and i just wonder if she may take on the role. I'm sure it has already been decided. Wasn't it so brave of his daughter to stand up there and say what she did, her father tried his best to keep them out the limelight and shield them from bad things. Well done her for being so couragous to stand there and speak.

It came back on yesterday morning so i didnt have to stand in the garden with bottles of water and chuck them over myself (was rather looking forward to that) Was unexpectantly busy yesterday,went shopping with carebear,the day had started off really nice so we stoaded off without jackets and sure enough the rain poured down, we decided abondogning the walk to asda and settles for tesco instead as it's a dry route from the shoping centre to there. Bumped into my mum well i did'nt see her it was carebear who spied her. Was a bit shocked at that because my mum and her partner have been shunning tesco since an incident involving a credit card. Ended up going down to my mums flat to help her clear up and clean up for the flat getting put on the market. When we finally got home i popped over to my pals who is going to TITP too, we ended up getting rather drunk whilst discusssing what we should do since it's going to be raining most of the week and the ground will be a mud bath. We think we have it all planned though and have decided to camp in the blue zone (as we always do) a bit further up the hill so the wetness may not be as bad. Also think we have the final to see list for the weekend too (yippeee)
Glad the waters back on as my heads a wee bit thumpy just now so going to go lie on the couch and have some fruit to help relieve the pain

Scottish water have on there website that the water is now more or less back on but no sorry the breakfast,lunch,dinner and supper dished are still piled up on the bunker. Myself and a neighbour went to get water earlier and the blue containers that they filled earlier and the containers were a empty. I'm not sure how fussed i am about having water rations,carebear and myself regularly wash in rivers and lakes so getting washed is'nt a problem since there is a river 20 minutes walk away. i still have enough water to fill the kettle tomorrow (not wasting water on dishes) Popping in and out to the garden just now and i can see the containers being refilled but it makes me wonder why they have it on there site that its fixed when it quite obviously is'nt. Going to go watch a film now and fall asleep on the couch watching it,carebears already crashed on the couch and since she's nearly the same height as me carrying her to bed is not an option.

We have been unreliably informed that the wa\ter may not be back on until tuesday. Myself and a neighbour went to the water banks that they have placed in our street to get water and erm well ended up having a water fight. Needless to say only a few were amused. My toilet has been safely flused of the days toilet events so at least the place wont stink tonight. The 12 bottles i ws allocated have quickly disappeared,more to do wiht the fact i'm giving all the eldery in my row some of mine as it really is heavy carrying it back from Asda or the health centre where i hear the water is now being dispersed from. Away to fill up the water guns now

Okay i gave in to pressure and went up to get my 12 allocated bottles of water. Had to go to asda for it well the carpark. They have the police there making sure that no-one skipped the queue or takes more than there share.The majority of the town i live in is waterless. And i have it on good authority (the guy behind me in the queue) that it takes 4 bottles to flush the toilet so i think my loo might be a bit stinky as the day goes on. Pubs have been closed resteraunts,cafe's are also a no go. Scottish water now think that the water may be off until tomorrown night and i have to admit after walking back with 12 bottles of water i'm a tad smelly, oh well that will keep me in good stead for next weekend lol

Its ben raining most of the week, had a couple of hours of nice hot sunshine. Here's the hilarious part-my street has no water well no cold water,some numpty from somewhere has cut through the mains pipe but Scottish water has told us not to worry we will be given bottles of water if it's still off at 4 as they can't give it out before the 8 hours is up. Mmmm they already told us we'd be without it til at least tomorrow morning but they are'nt allowed to hand the water out now!!!. This is the bit that has kinda annoyed me, i only put my hot water on every other night because the tank is so big it takes 3 hours to get the water hot so by the time the water is back on tomorrow what is in the tank will be cold. I have filled my kettle the water jug and 3 pots and no doubt i wont use half of it but we do tend to panic in this country. Christmas for example yes the supermarkets are closed for 2 days but do we really need 10 loaves and 20 litres of milk? no not really but we buy it just incase. The sun is finally appearing over the clouds so fingers crossed it gets yummy. I only drink coffee and the odd glass of juice so i doubt i'll be searching the woods for the stream that flows through it. Just another thought whilst i'm on my water tangent, In years to come it won't be electric or gas we will run out of it will be clean water,polloution will kill the fresh water we get from Loch Katrine. I just wonder if when the time comes how many of us will be able to survive without our luxurys (water,electric,gas etc)
Jusat realised ive the perfect excuse for not mopping the kitchen floor and doing the breakfast dishes.

..next weekend's line up and trying to plan who i'm going to see. It's a hard thing to do especially for the headliners. Sunday i really want to see THE PET SHOP BOYS but wee TOMMY RILEY is on at the same time. Theres no one really on before then that i want to see see well maybe PENDULUM but there playing on the nme stage and geting from that stage to the wah wah tent is about a half hour walk and then i would probably miss getting into the tent although i reacon Blur will pull in a massive crowd which would make my trek even harder as i would need to walk past the main stage.
Fridays going a bit like this so far-THE MACCABES,IDLEWILD,YEAH YEAH YEAHS,NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS ending with KINGS OF LEAON
Saturday-IGLU@HARTLEY,THE HOURS,STARSAILOR,JAMES,THE SPECIALS,HIP PARADE and to end saturday THE KILLERS or 1990'S
Sunday-CAROLINA LIAR,THE GASLIGHGT ANTHEM,SQUEEZE,SEASICK STEVE (still cant believe he's on the main stage)DOVES,ELBOW and then maybe TV ON THE RADIO but only so i'm secured a piece of grass to see PET SHOP BOYS
